Shelly Bay Resort
Beachfront apartments with lagoon pool, perfect for families and island adventures
About this stay
Shelly Bay Resort provides a comfortable and convenient stay right on the beachfront of Hervey Bay, making it easy to step out onto the sand with the family. The self-contained apartments offer the flexibility of home, each boasting views of the bay and equipped with a full kitchen for preparing meals. Days here often revolve around the inviting lagoon-style swimming pool, set amidst tropical gardens, or enjoying a barbecue in the dedicated entertainment area. For active guests, there's a half-size tennis court, while younger visitors will appreciate the children's playground. The resort's location is particularly advantageous for those planning excursions to Fraser Island or the Great Barrier Reef, with a helpful tour desk on hand to assist with bookings and local information.

- Self-contained apartments
- Tour desk for excursions
Our take
I would choose Shelly Bay Resort for its position opposite the beach and its apartments with bay views and a full kitchen. A lagoon-style pool, a children's playground, a half-size tennis court and a barbecue area keep everyone busy, and the tour desk arranges trips to K'gari (Fraser Island) and the Great Barrier Reef. Guests rate it 8.9. It is a self-catering resort, so I would not expect full hotel dining.
- ✓Book your Fraser Island or Great Barrier Reef tours directly at the resort's tour desk for convenience.
- ✓Make use of the fully equipped kitchen in your apartment to prepare some meals and save on dining out.
- ✓Spend an afternoon by the lagoon-style pool, it's a great spot to relax after a day of exploring.
Why we love it
- Directly opposite a family-friendly beach

Why guests love itShelly Bay Resort offers 4-star self-contained apartments with views of Hervey Bay, directly opposite a family-friendly beach, rated 8.9 by guests. I would recommend it to families first for the setting: children have the beach across the road, a lagoon-style pool in tropical gardens and a playground. Every apartment is air-conditioned with a full kitchen, there is a barbecue area and a half-size tennis court, and the tour desk books trips to K'gari (Fraser Island).
