Very nice spacious apartment well looked after. Large kitchen some small appliances could do with an update due to age but all worked and served us ok. Close to boat harbour club, where we had nice dinner within easy walking distance. Main shopping area is a short drive. Pretty little town.

We were there for my son's wedding and loved the property. Lots of room and lovely. only part was carrying all our luggage down 4 flights of stairs as we left on the flood bound Sunday. Had to get our cars out of garage as it was filling up fast. Really enjoyed our stay even with the weather on the Sunday.

The Akama Resort is a high quality apartment resort. The rooms are large, spotlessly clean, with all you would need for a great family stay. The location is perfect for whale watching trips as it is only a 5 minute walk to Hervey Bay marina. There are several good quality restaurants and bars nearby.

Hotel was amazing, the view was spectacular!! The room itself though had a few items that needed fixing like the sliding door to the main room was broken, the sliding door to the lounge was extremely difficult to slide and the ensuite was very rough and had broken splatter rail and tiles throughout tho none of this spoilt the stay it would just be nice of the owners fixed this as they are renting a penthouse so it needs to be penthouse standard.

We stayed in the deluxe penthouse suite. It was spacious and had everything we needed for a self contained stay. The view from the huge balcony was fantastic. The only downside we experienced was the carpark, if you have large car (like a landcruiser) you might not fit between the columns in the basement carpark.

Second time we have stayed here, traffic can be quiet noisy at certain times, appartments are very roomy, pillows need replacing beds are very comfy, reasonably clean throughout, not sure what the bad smell was on the ground floor but hopefully it was temporary.
