Wonderful location, had not clicked when booking that it’s right on the beach, just perfect. Powder supplied for free use of washing and drying machines. Awesome guy at reception, very helpful. Other guy vacuuming leaves was disappointed to miss my bagpipe solo on the beach and I’m sorry I just didn’t have time to unpack them again for another wee display. Next time!

The fact that we were late and they arranged the key for us when we arrived at 10pm. The coffee, tea and milk was provided. The beach being a 100m walk away. There are a lot of restaurant options in close proximity to the hotel. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Great play area for kids just across the road next to the beach.

Gladstone has so many beautiful parks walks and water fronts to spend your time in. A large variety of restaurants and plenty of shops and things to do. The nightlife also doesn’t disappoint, there are quite a few venues to choose from to go for a dance, an evening meal or to sit for a few drinks with live music. The locals were all very polite and friendly and helpful, it’s a very family friendly city and we think has a lot to offer.

I like the people of Bundaberg they are very friendly and helpful. The young couple who saw me struggling and gave me a lift got more than they bargained for when I fell and another gentleman in a blue SUV stopped and helped them get me up off the ground. They are a credit to your community.

There are walks from the famous Keppel Bay marina south of Yeppoon to Rosslyn Bay and dramatic landscapes, quarry and mountain as well as tours to the bay and reef. Yeppoon has a good selection of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants plus beachside walk and parks excellent for children. There is the tourist visitor centre just out of Yeppoon where there is a World Class marine and shell life museum - a must see for the whole family. Small coastal town feel with pretty much everything you would need.
