  • HERVEY BAY HOME — 5 SOUTH ST, URANGAN

    ABOUT THIS SPACE

    This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom home is the perfect base for exploring everything Hervey Bay has to offer. Just 600 metres from the beach and a short stroll from the esplanade, cafes and restaurants, it`s ideally positioned for whale watching cruises, Fraser Island day trips and lazy beach days alike. Come home to a fully equipped kitchen with stone and marble benchtops, a private deck with a BBQ, and a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for you — the kind of touches that turn a good stay into a great one.

    THE SPACE

    Picture arriving after a long drive, pouring yourself a glass from the complimentary bottle of wine, and settling into a rocking chair on the deck as the sun goes down. The home is spacious and well thought out — two separate living areas mean everyone has their own space, and the fully equipped kitchen with its butler`s pantry makes cooking together genuinely enjoyable. Off-street parking and a fully fenced yard round out the practical details, and self check-in means you can arrive on your own schedule.
