We had a very big room, in fact it was like a little apartment, the owner will go out of his way to help, very clean place,everything functional, good location, clean and nice pool, free wifi a rare thing in Australia and worked very good. I would return , if i went back to Hervey Bay.

This place is really great, and so much better than what I expected for a motel at the price we were paying. It must be one of the cleanest motelrooms I've ever seen and the bathroom and kitchen were practically shining! The location is really quiet, but the beach and everything you need (shops,restaurants) is only a short walk away.... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights as part of a larger group of friends. The lodge is set one block back from the beach in a quiet street. Fittings and furnishings were clean, comfortable and in good condition and we felt the accommodation offered excellent value for money. I can't write highly enough of Peter at reception who... More

My trip got off to a bad start .... I booked a room a week prior to the visit knowing that there had been a problem with gas supplies to Hervey Bay after recent weather issues. The media reports had been saying their was problems with some commercial cooking, but no other impact. I received a call from this lodge... More

Owners are fantastic. Helped direct me to points of interest - even indicating places that weren't worth the time. Apartment was extremely clean and large. Easy walk to the beach and some restaurants. So much nicer than staying in an impersonal hotel. I enjoyed it very much. Pool wasn't complete when I was there, but looked like they weren't skimping...

Excellent place to stay with very friendly owners. Highly recommend. Clean modern rooms & the sparkling pool. One street from the beach & close to shops. We will always look up this accommodation. Also we drove to Boat Club for a great night then called Dial a Driver that took us back to Motel for $20. very easy way to... More

I can only fully agree with the other reviewers praising this place. It is absolutely fantastic! The hosts (owners?) are great. They are open minded, very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and obviously always looking at ways to improve. The stay at the Colonial Lodge has definitely been - from an accommodation perspective - the highlight of my 18 days trip to... More

When seen from the street, this hotel is very unassuming. So it came as a surprise to see a wonderfully modern and sparkling clean room awaiting me. I was warmly greeted at reception upon checking in and offered free undercover parking. The room is all that I'd wish for with comfortable furniture, a flat screen TV and modern appliances. The...

The owners were charming and extremely helpful. They followed up to be sure our whale watching trip was what we expected... and it was. Our one bedroom unit was large, clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the supplies, dishes etc that we needed.... including salt and pepper. We did laundry and set it out on the outdoor drying racks... More
