I stayed a Koola Beach Apartments over the May long weekend. Allan and Chris were extremely welcoming and even though I had arrived well ahead of schedule, my room was ready to go. I had a two bedroom apartment that was absolutely spotless. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom immaculate and the view pretty good too! Although I wasn't staying... More

We had a very warm welcome on arrival and throughout our stay the managers made us feel at home. The apartment was spacious, very comfortable and very well-equipped. Koola Beach is in a quiet and peaceful part of Bargara and only a 5 minute stroll away from the sandy beach. Grocery shopping is easy - Bargara Central is a couple... More

We appreciate your feedback "MaryR18" - it was a pleasure having you stay with us and are pleased that Bargara was able to add the Mon Repos turtle experience to your Australian visit. Thanks for your favourable comments about the quality of the accommodation.......as you say,our location, tucked-away just behind the beachside parkland, is only minutes away from everything but...

We visited the Koola Beach Apartments twice this season to see the Loggerhead Turtles lay their eggs, and watch the hatchlings. We were fortunate enough to stay at Koola Beach, a very nice place with superb rooms, good facilities and friendly and helpful managers. The apartments are spacious, very well equiped, with good beds en all comforts you need. They're... More

Thank you "Bas V" for your "perfect" rating - naturally, we are delighted with your favourable comments about the apartments. This holiday complex is "our home", and we enjoy seeing our guests appreciate the delights of this wonderfully peaceful seaside village. This year the Mon Repos Turtle Rookery achieved a record number of visitors for the laying and hatching season... More

We stayed here to visit Mon Repos, which is about 10 minutes away. The managers are lovely, and happy to share local knowledge. The apartments look brand new and are well equipped (even a coffee plunger). We stayed in park view, which overlooks a large field. The air conditioner was very effective, however quite noisy though. There's a flat screen... More

Thank you MissMoet for taking the time to share your experience. We are of course delighted with the rating you have given us. The apartments are in fact almost 4 years old, so your comment that they "look brand new" is a tremendous compliment to our hard working and fastidious cleaner - having someone who cares is an absolute bonus...

So if you're heading for the turtles, then this a great convenient spot. Although not on the beach front like a few of others, it is in a nice little spot, backing onto what looks like a field! Lovely pool, small but more than big enough for a cool off. Management are really lovely and approachable for recommendations, nothing ever... More

My wife and I have visited the Bundaberg/Bargara area for a few years now and have stayed at many places in both Bundaberg and Bargara. Last week we stayed for the first time at Koola Beach Apartments and can say without hesitation, this is the best accommodation option in the whole area. Wonderful friendly staff, spacious and a spotlessly clean... More

WOW....naturally, we are absolutely delighted with your "best in the district" rating "spudtate". So glad that you found everything to your liking. Yes, as you say, you did have our best oceanview apartment........which we think is fantastic value at $145 a night for a couple. The others don't have quite the same view, but the outlook over the adjoining parklands... More

The only downside of this place is its distance from the shops/beach. The managers are lovely, the rooms are all new and have everything you need. The pool is great, and BBQs make a cheap alternative to eating out.

Thanks very much "2bundles" for your comments and we appreciate your "value for money" rating. Yes, we are a little further from the shops and restaurants than some other resorts in Bargara, however we are in reality the closest resort to a patrolled surf beach area - just a 400m stroll to Nielson Park beach, the home of Bundaberg Surf...

We stayed at the Bargara Dream Townhouse (next door to the resort apartments) and were very happy with our stay. Allan & Chris were very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.

Thank you Tracy, Tim & Nate for your favourable comments about the BARGARA DREAM TOWNHOUSE. We think the Townhouses are exceptionally good value, but it's the guests opinions that count and we are pleased that you found that to be the case. As you say, plenty of space and cooling flow-through sea breezes. We could see that Nate really enjoyed... More
