Happy in Hervey Bay
Pros:

Location was outstanding
Looking straight out to the ocean

Cons:

Apartment was a little dated.
In need of a good makeover
And the bed was like a rock. Neither of us slept well at all so that put a bit of a downer on the trip.

Unit was comfortable and nice views
Pros:

The unit had a nice view over the bay and the pool was nice

Cons:

There was a family of cockroaches in the second bedroom where my daughter was sleeping and there was no Wi Fi and no way of streaming anything. The games room is not what the photos show, it only has a ping pong table and old books

Nice,quite location. Resort is a little rundown, however it had everything we needed.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Room was spacious and clean. Had good laundry and 2 good bathrooms. Had 3 balconies 2 facing the ocean and 1 facing the harbour.

Cons:

The beds were ok, a little uncomfortable. Air conditioning was cold in the living area and main bedroom, but no air-conditioning in 2nd and 3rd bedrooms only fans and quite hot. It was a shame one of the pools was closed during our stay.

Pros:

Close to dining and beach

Cons:

Our unit was across from the lap pool and it was very noisy. The other pool was closed so the lap pool was the only one available for the whole resort.
