Nice touch to have washing up liquid, cloth and some basics like milk and tea etc. However some more cleaning products would be good, along with a second t towel. The oven wasn't the best, think the seal is going, and the frying pan's handle was wobbly. Having off street parking was a bonus."

"I had checked in for a place to have a short stay because there was a function I was attending and didn’t get to enjoy the facilities. I was impressed with everything (a little tight on parking). I didn’t want to leave. I am considering a longer stay in the next 6 months to not only enjoy the parks facilities but also enjoy Hervey Bay itself."
