We had a fantastic stay at Shelly Bay Resort. The team went above and beyond to accomodate us and the room itself was great. Perfect location to explore Hervey Bay, with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. Plus you are opposite the beach! Highly recommended.

Nick Australia

The resort is right across the road from the beach and in a quiet area but still within easy walking to cafes and eaterys. The in house indian restaurant is great - convenient, quality dishes and reasonably priced.
