What a lovely time we had at Akama. Everything was perfect. The clean, well set up, spacious apartment had everything we needed. The beautiful view was a pleasure and how lovely to sit on the wide balcony and look out toward the harbour. Our hosts were friendly and helpful - they even called us 4 hours before check-in time to... More

We stayed in an apartment in whale watching season in 2012. From the moment we opened the door we felt comfortable and rested. Very clean, fresh, stylish room. Apartments are really close to the departure point for the whale watching boats. Quite a long walk into the town/shops but we had two small children so probably longer because of them.... More

It was our first trip to Hervey Bay, after much research on hotels we chose the Akama. I am glad to say we made the right choice, the rooms are massive and plenty of room for entertaining, the large balconies were great. Location is good, a short drive to the esplanade and a even shorter walk to the boat club.... More

Besides the great location, modern, comfortable and clean apartment, the service provided my Managers go beyond normal expectations. Thank you very much Matt and Pia for everything you did for us the weekend of 18-21 April, - after the little matter of hubby locking his motor bike keys in the bike's hatch. You help was invaluable !!

Really beautiful apartment with fab views and loads of space, definitely feel that wifi should be free, a real let down in a 5 star apartment especially when the weather was bad. I need access for work and really don't want to have to pay an extra $32 per day !
