Getting Here
By Car
Urangan, Hervey Bay is just under 300km from the Queensland state capital, Brisbane. With recent highway upgrades and plenty of rest-stop opportunities, it’s an easy drive. From the north, we are just 1.5 hours drive from Bundaberg and just under 400km from Rockhampton.
By Plane
Fraser Coast Airport is serviced by direct flights from Sydney and Brisbane with flights to and from other state capitals and major centres going via those cities. Please check directly with the airlines or your travel agent for current flight details.
The airport is just a 7 min drive from Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat. Please let us know when booking if you would like us to arrange a shuttle transfer.
By Sea
If you are a tired seafarer sailing the Australian coast and you are looking for a comfortable bed on land for a night or two, you can always berth at Hervey Bay Marina and stay with us. Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat is just 1.5km from the marina.
Bus & Train
Hervey Bay is serviced by the major bus companies which arrive at and depart from the Travel Centre at Stockland Hervey Bay. Train services arrive and depart in Maryborough with QRail buses taking passengers to and from Hervey Bay from Maryborough Station.
Sanctuary Lakes is a great stopping off point for Fraser Island. The cabins are located in a very idyllic setting and are spacious and well equipped. The site is extremely peaceful except for the rather noisy wildlife, from dusk onwards - but that is part of its appeal! Rod and Deb were very accommodating, especially as I had an unplanned return visit the following evening!
