Beautifully presented and spacious accommodation. Love the spaciousness that the open bi-folding doors create and provided a great playing area for our 2 year old during the rain. Huge main room with spacious ensuite, 2nd bedroom was on the smaller side especially when putting a port-a-cot in the room, but it was doable... We would definitely stay here again if... More

We were very happy at our stay at the Akama Resort in Hervey Bay. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment and I cannot fault it. The rooms were very clean, very spacious, had big wardrobes and a brand new kitchen. The pool area was perfect as well!

We just spent a couple of days at this resort. It was nice quiet place to stay and well maintained. We booked a two bedroom apartment $195 p/night. They put us in a 3 bedroom and locked the 3rd room, which was fine. The 3 bedrooms have space for two cars, which was good for us. The 2 bedrooms have... More
