BreakFree Great Sandy Straits Hervey Bay

Only stayed 2 nights and overall was amazing, wish I could afford to have stayed longer. The night ocean views from the top floor we're spectacular however to allowed access to the very top via the spiral stairs with outdoor furniture and bbq would have been beyond excellent and I'd pay extra for that. With my medical condition, it had everything I was looking for, salt water pool, no wi-fi, spa and a quick ciggie on the balcony, with the beach and parking at your door. The 3 flight of stairs were a challenge but it was so worth it. This getaway I travelled with my daughter but next time will book a 2 bedroom and bring both daughters. The staff, with not much contact, which is just the way I like it, were available at reception if needed and great at communicating over the phone with all my needs and requests. A resort discount at the Marina Cafe would have been muchly appropriated as it was a bit pricey, but the food and staff were great and the view of the boats were amazing...I will definitely be coming back.

The property is a little out dated but the location is excellent. You need to go grocery shopping and stock up the fridge and pantry with your essential items as eating out for every meal will cost you an arm and a leg. Don’t expect room service as these are units that you lease. We had the corner room overlooking the marina and the beach. Great spot to go swimming, fishing and all the tours and activities are walkable distance. The pool was lovely and a favourite of the kids. I personally enjoyed the fishing off the rocks in front of the marina and the locals are all extremely friendly and happy to have a chat. Definitely going back.

With easy access to the waterfront and restaurants, this is a lovely place to stay. The staff were friendly.
