Sanctuary Lakes Icon
When looking for a a quiet place to stay in Hervey Bay, could not have been happier with Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat. Seriously, so peaceful immediately overlooking a private lake with amazing bird life - and tortises! Just beautiful. And to think just a five minute walk to the beach, so easy. Self contained cabins are modest, but most comfortable with private balcony overlooking the lake. Well presented and spotlessly clean. Could not fault anything - our cabin 24 was just great, loved it. Definitely recommend and will return.
