It was a great walk, but unfortunately, no dogs allowed. So my husband and I had to do the walking separately. The views to Fraser Island and the surrounding beaches were nice.

As the song goes "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" is perfect here, a fantastic leasurely walk, with stunning views of Hervey Bay

Travelling Aussies 🇦🇺 The Urangan Pier is a wonderful asset to visitors and the locals of Hervey Bay Stretching almost 870m into the bay from the Urangan foreshore, it’s a great vantage point and relaxing walk There’s usually plenty of parking, while you’ll enjoy the famous Pier Markets on Wednesday & Saturday mornings Often, visitors will see dolphins, turtles, stingrays, a family of ospreys and other wildlife from the Pier A number of outstanding local cafes & restaurants are also situated nearby, and the Pier is a great way to walk off a delicious meal or enjoy a hot coffee

A great place for a walk, if you are a fisherman the last 30 mtrs of the pier is in deep water and pelagic fish are commonly caught. On Sundays there are markets, coffee shops etc. Well worth a visit.

No dogs. I’d love to know how a dog walking on a pier could do any harm to it. It’s 2025, time for these archaic rules need to be abolished.

Best pier ever in QLD, wonderful views. Will not regret for few hours drive.

Beautiful walk along the 1.1 kilometer length. Great views. Coming off the end of the Wednesday market avenue was a nice touch. Great location and easy walk.

It is great to support local community but to be honest for 22$/Adult is too much considering the place is very small. Approximately the size of a one bed room apartment and not much to see. The highlight of the place is the turtle and their feeding. My opinion 15$ per adult is more reasonable. We were 4 adults and 1 kid, end up pay 100$ However the staff were friendly and kind.

We visited here 2 days ago. We bought our 5 yr old grandaughter as well. She loved feeding the turtles and patting them so did I being a turtle lover. The feeding times were great watching them take a lettuce leaf from your hand. 🐢🥬 we strolled around to see other aquaium fish after feeding the turtles. We also had lunch next door in the restaurant. The staff were informative and knew their business.

A cute little spot to visit with younger kids. It’s worth stopping in for a short visit — you can see everything in about 30 minutes, so it’s great if you’re not looking to spend a whole day out. However, the ticket prices aren’t worth it. At $22 per adult, it feels overpriced for what’s on offer. Definitely something the venue should review.

Fantastic experience! The tanks here are absolutely awesome — crystal clear and full of beautiful marine life. You can get really close to everything, and the variety is impressive for a small local aquarium. The highlight for me was feeding the turtles — such a fun and unique experience! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly care a lot about the animals. A great stop for all ages — you learn, laugh, and leave smiling. Highly recommend! 🐢🐠💙

Not a big place but a fabulous place to visit. Surprise bonus was seeing the turtles and being able to touch and feed them. The restaurant next door was also a great place to have breakfast and if you dine there you will get a discount on the aquarium tickets.

Nice aquarium with a lot of natural habitats put together carefully in the seawater tanks they have on site. There's 3 sea turtles that are permanently in holding at the aquarium.

My husband and I (in our 60's) thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Reef World. Very friendly service and any questions were answered. For a family owned business since 1979, it's a treasure. So interesting to see the tropical fish, corals in a naturaly lit &l sea water environment. Lovely presentation, quality not quantity! Maddie did a great feeding turtle presentation outside. Good value and includes all day return entry. Coffee & scones were delicious in cafe too! A very family friendly attraction.

The Dock Hervey Bay offers a great waterfront dining experience with a lively atmosphere, friendly staff, and a solid selection of tapas-style dishes. The food is flavorful, and the cocktail menu is well-curated. While the portions can be small for the price, the overall vibe and service make it a worthwhile spot for a relaxed meal or drinks by the marina. Ideal for casual gatherings, but those with dietary restrictions should check the menu in advance

Overall a really nice dinner, tapas means small plates. Yes the plates are small but the portions were large for some of the dishes so you have to order quite a lot. if you want a good dinner which all adds up, two adults and one child a couple of cocktails $160.

For our first time dining here 28th September 2025 on recommendation, we had a table of 6, we were told only 2 sliders left upon ordering our food, our booking was 630pm, last 2 sliders were bought out on mini toast, shocked as we were expecting slider buns. The arancini was delicious, hoping there was more choices of arancini available, but they were very delicious Scallops kilpatrick i didnt like needs improving, scallops weren't seared tasted like theyre microwaved, duck cigars my son enjoyed, fish tacos were a hit at our table. Lemon lime bitters was made exactly how I was hoping, im not a hervey bay resident so I was expecting alot from this place, seems the waiters dont really communicate well with each other either.

We turned up and these guys didnt have a table but somehow found room for us. The food was fantastic, the staff were funny, friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was welcoming, chilled and casual. Thank you for a really lovely evening

Sept 2025 - 10 Stars Each time we return we are gifted with warm welcomes, great service, smile and top notch plates. If you are in the area, book a table and try their tapes plates, you will love it. Xmas Eve 2023 - 5 Stars Got some photos this time! 😊 What an outstanding restaurant. The food is like they have Gordon Ramsay locked up in the kitchen. Every dish was impeccable! The service staff are amazing, all smiling and it is a testament to the owners, who also have a great sense of humour. Phoebe looked after our table and was all smiles. Sorry I offered a taste of the Squealing Pig Rose' as she was not 18 yet. We were the last table of the day and were made so welcome. Merry Xmas The Dock team and see you in the New Year August 2023 - 5 Stars Why I didn't take a photo of the stunning dishes served has me wanting to return asap to capture the stunning work the chefs here do. Servings were perfect for four of us as each plate had four pieces. The waitress guided us through the menu, so we had about 11 plates! Each dish was so tasty. The prawns were plump and cooked perfectly. The location is relaxing, overlooking the Marina. Parking was a little hard to secure a spot on the weekend with all the whale watching tours underway. Make sure you book a table and enjoy the hospitality

We have walked past and looked at their menu a few times and looked good but at the times we were here it wasn't very busy and didn't try it. What a mistake, a friend in our village recommended it and we went in a few days later and paid them a visit and really enjoyed it we are just so happy we went just as the lunch rush was just over at about 1.30pm. The service was very good and informative and the food was first class with a very good drink menu as well. My wife always tries new cocktails and was a pleasant surprise having something different to try as well. I enjoy drinking beers from where the food menu comes from and look forward to our next visit.

Gutted. Was really exited to try this place after reading the reviews. Was our last night touring Queensland before heading home and we were looking forward to a bit of luxury. We ordered the Italian dock plate, the pork and fennel meatballs, a signature cocktail and a Prosecco. The Italian plate looked quite impressive at first glance with a lot of food for the price but unfortunately it lacked anything in the way of flavour. The only thing on the plate that wasn’t a budget store bought item was the roasted cherry tomatoes and the were unseasoned in any way and very bland. Also, what are corn chips doing on an Italian board? Very confusing. We left over half the food. The pork and fennel meatballs were lacking on the fennel and quite dry, they did come with a lemon mustard sauce on the side but that was overpowering and made them worse. Again, we left half of them uneaten. The cocktail was a take on a pina colada and sounded great because t was ridiculously sweet and even though I’m a real sweet tooth, I found it unpleasant. The Prosecco was good though. When I paid for the meal, I was not asked how we liked it. I would have happily shared this feedback in person if asked. Simple mistakes here that would take much to fix. Better quality ingredients with some seasoning would improve everything dramatically not to mention tasting food and drinks before sending out.

Wow, what a great experience.The team are welcoming,knowledgeable and very friendly.No job or question was to much. I even had the opportunity to meet the Captain in the bridge and he shared heaps of his knowledge. This tour and family run business is priced competitive and well worth the cost for a lifetime of memories. Highly recommended and very appreciative of the customer experience we had. Last but not least, plenty of whales to see and appreciate.

Yesterday evening we had dinner at the Boat Club. It was great. The sea food platter was enormous! Very tasteful and also the Parma and one of the day specials: barramundi Pie was good too. It was also very good that all our food (4 adults and 2 kids) arrived at the same time at the table. Thank you Boat Club for this !

Some years since last visit. Since place to have quick bite meal. Our stop was for lunch after a pleasant trip out whale watching. Notice the proper chunky chips (not fries)

After an amazing morning out whale watching, we enjoyed a lovely lunch using our 10% off voucher. There were great budget items (the chicken and Camembert pie with fries $12, delicious!) right up to the steak options ($40+). The restaurant was buzzing but there were multiple staff to manage everything. We also enjoyed drinks from the bar. Two thumbs up to the Virgin Mojito and the Aperol Spritz

An outstanding club option in Hervey Bay, featuring a great bistro, large cafe, waterfront deck, cinema, function rooms, tourist catamaran, TAB and pokies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There’s plenty of off-street parking with easy level access right to the front door Staff are friendly & helpful, food is fresh & well presented and the club facilities are modern & clean 👍 A great place to showcase the beautiful marina and local produce in a friendly, well located venue ❤️

Great venue, excellent staff. We got there late and went to order but we just missed the time that the kitchen closed. The staff were very accommodating and worked late to cook our meals. Highly recommended.

Cracking spot for a cold beverage, great views and live music. Haven't sampled the food yet but keen to next time.

🌺 Wow! 🤩 The Orchid House at the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens was absolutely spectacular. I wasn’t expecting to see so many orchids in bloom this time of year —all lovingly cared for by dedicated volunteers. My family thoroughly enjoyed exploring the whole gardens. Including a rainforest walk, labyrinth and gorgeous Chinese inspired garden.

Lovely oasis in Hervey Bay Check out the citters Park for the little peeps, the Chinese garden, the labyrinth (although it was made for leprechauns!!!) , The Orchid house, the pond with thousands of turtles that swim up to you! And across the road is the pie and pastry shop with yummy treats for everyone and good coffee

Nice spot to wander around and fill in 45 minutes. Chinese garden is quite a nice feature however would be good if the water feature was actually full. The lake with the turtles probably needs cleaning out and a few turtles removed, could also do with a few more plant identification placards around the place. Good spot to let little kids run around and burn off some energy. But would I go again probably not, would I recommend. Im 50/50 going by the comments some people really enjoy it.

Peaceful and beautiful botanic garden in Hervey Bay. The Orchid House display lots of orchid are very well maintained. Greatly appreciate to everyone who taking care of them. Heaps of turtles around the pond for kid's entertain.

Supported a client here today and checked out the Orchid House. We walked around all the Botancial Gardens and visited the turtles. A lovely afternoon out.

Unfortunately the orchid house was closed when we visited but still enjoyed a walk around the Botanical Gardens

Lots of bird life and turtles and under cover areas for picnics which we did but walking arpund there is no signage for any directions to anything ..

We had lunch here last week after we visited the turtles and aquarium on the other side. We sat out the back near the water on the verandah. The staff were tentative to take our order we were told it would take around 20 mins which we didnt mind. We did order a entre to start us off. They bought out my 5 yr old grandauggters meal fairly quickly that kept her busy eating our entre arrived 15 mins later and thats where it stopped. Other people came and sat down as it was the lunch time period. 40 mins past and no main meal. We watched people who sat after us around 10 mins after us get their meals. We had to eventually ask about our meals. The waiter went and asked and came back to tell us that there was a bit of a mix up and our meal will come out very shortly. We werent impressed due to the pricing of tbe meals. Ten miniutes later we finally got our meals. The photos show that there wasnt a huge crowd so it wasnt majorly busy for a lunch sitting. We were not impressed. Thats why its a 3 out of 5. The food again wasnt to impressed.

My friend and I are visiting from Brisbane and stopped in for lunch today. The food was delicious and the location is just perfect! Despite the cafe getting busy, the staff were happy and attentive and our food arrived promptly, served with a smile. My Thai beef salad was one of the best I've had for ages and I didn't have to play 'find the meat'. The beef was seared to perfection and the salad was seasoned correctly and well balanced. Well done team and thank you for an excellent meal.

Even over the misty water, cold enough to give guests a blanket, my husband orders ice cold Stoney beers, and loving every minute because I'm the stone cold sober driver. You don't get closer than this spot to see clear water sandy ocean, fish jumping, and sea birds flying through. Service was impeccable and prices pretty good considering the position and entertainment from watching boats leave and return from K'gari. We gave this restaurant 5 star because, the oysters in bacon sauces and scallops in garlic butter and Barra was caught fresh, probably 10 minutes before we sat down.

We had lunch at this fabulous restaurant on a Thursday. We were accommodated without a booking. The young waitress was a delight and nothing was too much trouble. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was fresh and delicious. We had the shared seafood platter and while not the cheapest item on the menu, it was excellent value for money. We had a waterfront view into the bargain. Highly recommend this restaurant.

1st time here but we will be back. So relaxing eating a beautiful breakfast overlooking the bay. I’m a coffee snob and the coffee is great. Poached eggs were perfect. Great range of smoothies. Staff are so pleasant and helpful. Loved it. We booked a table for 7 people.

We went for lunch. WOW. Food and service great with wonderful view.Lovely view. Fresh local seafood that was delicious and reasonably priced. Would be first on my list for dining In Hervey Bay.

What a stunning venue! I attended a wedding on Sunday 17th of August and it exceeded my expectations. Staff was extremely friendly, the venue is beautiful and the food was amazing 😍 I am gluten intolerant and they accommodate all my meals offering me more than one option. What a beautiful and amazing venue i definitely recommend it

Stopped by for dinner and it hit the spot! The food was super tasty—warm, fresh, and full of flavor. Staff were really friendly and made the whole experience easy and relaxed. Service was quick, and the vibe of the place was just right for a casual evening out. Can’t wait to come back!

One of the prawns in my dish was raw (picture for reference). I spit it out and stopped eating as it is unsafe. When I informed the staff, they reluctantly offered a 10% discount and no apologies. It’s not like finding raw vegetables that you can set aside and continue eating I risked getting sick and ruining my trip, and still had to pay for the dish I couldn’t eat. They lack of basic hospitality and work ethics. The dish also did not contain any anchovies as stated on the menu and the flavor was nothing special. Don’t risk it.

We really enjoyed this place. The staff were really friendly and the food amazing. Thanks everyone

We got there at 5.30pm had a drink told the waitress we will have a drink then order people turned up waited an hour while everyone got served around us no one ask if we are ok so paid for drinks even though we shouldn't of and left went and had dinner elsewhere. I will say the young girl who served us at first was lovely but this was definitely not her fault as there was another guy serving and taking orders just not ours! Oh don't book a table not needed as it wasn't booked and I can see why!

Awesome views. The chicken starter is amazing. The lamb shank was good. The pork also good. Prices are on the higher side which is fine as long as you're getting quality. Unfortunately the king prawn dish is a totally over priced dish. 4 small prawns and 2 pieces of bread for $34. No rice or other items. Sold as a main but is a really small starter and the price is too high, prawns werent even big. They could bulk up their plates with some extra starch which isn't going to cost them much but make their prices more reasonable. Sticky date was good. Cake was on the drier side but was nice with the cream and ice cream.

I rarely write negative reviews, but felt compelled to share my experience here. From the moment we arrived, the service was disappointing. When we asked for a menu, the staff were incredibly rude, and things only got worse from there. The new staff member had no clue what was in the dish we asked about, so when we politely asked if she could find out, she seemed visibly annoyed at having to do her job. To make matters worse, we were told that they weren't taking any more hot drink orders because they were "too busy." We were eventually served, but the drinks were practically shoved onto the table with no care at all. When our food came out, it was wrong. We had to point out the mistake and show them the menu to get it corrected. The two women working seemed rough around the edges, and the younger one had an attitude that made the whole experience feel uncomfortable. Eventually, we asked for our money back and left, which was the only positive outcome of the visit. I would not recommend this place if you’re looking for good service or a pleasant dining experience. Obviously changed hands from a few years ago, which is so sad. To clarify, I did not call your staff "slack" — that would imply they were doing a job. No apologies were given during the interaction. It was far from busy at the time, and I observed three other people walk away due to the rudeness from the staff. I want to be clear that I have respect for everyone working, especially in customer-facing roles. However, your team clearly requires further training in both communication and customer service. Their tone and delivery were unacceptable and did not reflect the basic standards one would expect in this setting. I hope this feedback is taken constructively and addressed appropriately.

Looking for a delicious LOBSTER in town? Come here. It is the best. We did have to pre order a couple of days before. All dishes were sensational. Had to go back the next day for more. Staff try, but are just a bit slow and green 💚 One member by the name of Ruby, was outstanding. All very sweet and well mannered though. Looking out on the water with all the luxurious yachts and blue skies was dreamily relaxing.

Had booked a table on line but arrived about 1/2 hour early which was no problem. We were seated quickly and given water and menus. Ordered drinks which came to our table extremely quickly. We ordered our food and didn’t have to wait long for that either. The food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend. We were a bit disappointed that you could only get prawn toast if you paid for a banquet. Otherwise it was a good night and we were in and out pretty quickly.

The food is average . We loved the special fried rice , the chicken and cashew was also great. Honey chicken was highly rated But the crispy duck was horrible over cooked and oily it come out cold. Our entrees even cane out after our dinner. Ate here 3 years ago and there have been some differences.

Must do this place!!! Location is stunning. Service is 1st class. Menu is plentiful and colourful. Pricing is very realistic. Taste of meals is excellent. Value is great. Will definitely return.

We visited this restaurant recently and really enjoyed most of our meal—the mains were fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. However, we were very disappointed with the fried ice cream dessert. It was poorly made and unfortunately inedible. We raised our concerns politely, but the staff refused to offer a refund or any form of resolution, which left a sour note on an otherwise good experience. It’s a shame, as we were happy with the rest of the food, but good customer service includes being open to feedback—especially when something clearly isn’t up to standard. We hope management will reconsider how they handle situations like this in future.

Haven't been here for about 2 yrs and what a disappointment smaller portions and food is warm at best. We used to get 4 Dim sims in a portion now it's 2. When you order a duck dish it was excellent 2yrs ago, and now is supposed to be boneless and it is full of cartilage and bones, not good for your teeth. Once again only warm at best. If the patrons have become so complacent they don't care what they eat but for the location and price this is less than average at best. We came here to do a follow up review and got what we were warned of, junior staff that don't know anything about service and wouldn't make it in a pub. Talk to customers like they are class mates at school, can we get you another drink mate as we are closing the bar. Has hospitality gone down so bad you don't want your customers enjoying your restaurant with good end of meal food and service that you close off your income to save a few dollars in wages. I don't think we will bother going back to this establishment to any more reviews of poor service and low standards of food being served up to unassuming customers.

Had a full glass of wine spilt all over table, no refill, tried to charge however did take off bill, but did not want to. Booking was for 5.30 food arrived 6.45, also had the privilage of cleaning the wine up myself as all the server did was say sorry and give me a wad of serviettes to do the job. Fried rice was tasteless and gluggy with only a pinch of shallotts to add crunch, very expensive so if on a budget forget it.

Entrees took 40 min to come and the staff had said the order was lost… we were offered free entrees. Food is very tasty. The service is below par. Staff running around like chooks with their heads cut off and not knowing what is going on. The waitress that served the table was lovely. But the young girl that was serving food and taking payments was rude and needs to work on her r.b.f. A bit better. And needs some training in customer service.

Pretty great place for pies and sausage roll... Recommended Service was friendly and courteous, which made us felt welcomed...Did checked if they can prepare chicken sandwich but got told they can't as their food comes prepared from kitchen, which is fair enough. Happy with my sausage roll, seasoned to perfection and portion size was pretty controlled, but even though the quality was spot on. For vegetarians, very limited options, Spicy lentil pie 🥧 : was decent.... Could have more aromats or spices not to make hot but to get that seasoned flavor to take it up to the next level Winter Melon Salad : was good though, complemented sausage roll.

We had the steak and mushroom pie. It was lovely and hot. Plenty of tasty pieces of soft steak. Gravy wasn't salty like commercial pies. Pastry was crispy on top soft under but held it's form well. Young teenager who served us was very friendly and polite. Service was quick and they have a little area outside to sit and enjoy the food. It is a bakery so had a great range of favourite pastries to choose from. We didn't try any today but will definitely come back again.

Love it!! beautiful pastries, great coffee & outdoor area...couldn't ask for more💯💥 Be warned, can get very busy at peak times

Inconsistent. September 2025 five pies of which four were what we call a full blowout. Too hot too wet and too soggy. All pain no pleasure. Provided feedback. Unsatisfactory business response to a genuine, serious problem and what should be valued feedback. If it was my business, I would offer a full refund since it was crap and offer free replacement on next visit so that my customer would come back and try again which we won’t be at this shop Sorry about the bad news just a genuine feedback to help everybody I will try the other shop in Main Street as it’s close to home. Haven’t been there yet. I would expect the same product. Last time I visited Elizabeth Street the pies were great, so I’m not sure what went wrong, but it’s certainly a problem, which is why the first word I chose was inconsistent Cheers

Great pie shop to stop for a bite. The pie pastry was really fluffy and delicious. The pepper sauce was great. Would definitely go back to try more of their pies and rolls.

The pies are bloody beautiful mate!! I had the steak and mushroom, chunky steak and curry chicken.. beautiful flavors and the meat is CHUNKY!! 😋

24/9/25 Good, above average pies and quiche. The coffee was very average. 25/9/25 We went back again today, the cappacino was good today. Our family loved the pies and the bee sting bun. Thanks Jodie.

Clean and tidy shopping centre. Had most stores (grocery, clothes, mobile phones, etc). Fairly basic food outlets, including a food court style area. Parking can be a real challenge at times. Motor vehicle access and egress is a major challenge with long lines and selfish drivers adding to the problem. Get there early if you want to avoid traffic jams. And beware of unsavoury characters, particularly in the various car parking areas.

Large centre with kmart, JB hi fi , Coles and plenty of other shops. We had lunch at the coffee club, probably one of the best outlets we have been to. Excellent service and great food.

A nice shopping centre, clean and well managed you often see security walking around. Negative - entry and exit points. Trying to get to the actual parking area is well difficult, little roundabouts cause delays and confusion both to enter and exit but also to access different ends of the shopping centre. With the rapid growth of Hervey Bay and surrounding suburbs its time to expand and bring in stores like Myer, and Target, but you would also need to fix the parking situation. A comment to Management . Please do something about the electric scooter issue. They seem to take pleasure in riding at speed around the car parking area and between people of the crossings. Also how about over 70s Parking ? A standard in many shopping centres now. Not disabled but still find walking behind moving vehicles concerning, not to mention finding their car. If you can provide parking for young fit healthy parents surely you can dedicate a few parks for the older people in our community . NB: thank you Management for advising there are 4 seniors parking areas near the medical centre. Would it be possible to put in a few at the other end of the shopping centre to make it easier for the elderly to access the Post office without a long walk through the shopping centre ?

Going late Sunday afternoon was great. Got in did what I needed to, leaveing home doing groceries and getting home within the hour was awesome

Great shopping centre in Hervey Bay with a nice food court, supermarkets and heaps of other shops.

Great little place with a nice variety of shops

Big ground floor shopping centre with lots of retail food drinks al in one place! Supermarkets fashion pharmacy all in one Great air conditioning and toilet facilities

I consider to be an up market shopping centre. Has all the necessary stores..chemist, bottle shop , a lovely bakery, woolworths etc etc. Worth the effort for me to visit more regularly from other end of town. Adequate parking with large retail stores nearby. 4 1/2 stars.

Although I enjoy shopping at Eli Waters, parking can be difficult. I avoid the busiest areas by parking on the south side towards Harvey Norman. When it's less busy, I park closer. Recently, I parked in front of Heaps Discounts and had a bad experience. I drove up towards the guard that prevents you from driving too far forward. I heard a noise like my car scraping on the guard. When I backed up the engine splash shield under the front of my car was partly pulled off. I got out to look and saw 2 huge bolts sticking up from the guard in front of my car. These were the cause of the hang up I experienced. I hope this can be fixed so others don't suffer damage to their cars like I did.

The Centre has most shops you need for your regular shopping. Woolworths, BWS, Pharmacy, Newsagent, Pathology, Medical Centre (limited opening hours,) takeaway food outlets, fruit and veg shop, bakery, fish market and so on. Parking can be a bit tight during peak times. The bakery has a huge selection of cakes and doughnuts and fresh bread.

Good shopping centre with quite a variety of retailers. Woolworths is the draw card. Large fresh seafood, large fresh fruit and vegetable retailers. Parking is a pain best to turn at lights venture to back of complex and leave via back entrance.

Pleasant shopping centre handicapped by very poor parking and traffic circulation. Excellent Woolworths. Very good fresh fruit and veg shop (limited variety and a bit pricey), BWS, etc.

Convenient shopping centre, apart from a semi stressful finding a carpark.. the centre itself has everything you need to stock up on groceries. The kebab shop is also recommended

Handy mid-sized shopping centre with Woolworths and a good range of specialty shops. As visitors to the locality we have chosen to revisit this centre on multiple occasions.

Love this park. Friendly and safe. We were fortunate to have a beachfront site in a quiet end of the park. Managers were excellent and very visible throughout the day - always with a smile. Amenities were always excellently maintained. I hope the park does not change too much when it is ‘upgraded’ at the end of this month.

Great spot with direct access to the beach. Have been here before and glad to get a Beachfront site. Shops are an easy walk away. Will come again. Check my photos from our van, fantastic.

Loved it here. Perfect locations. Shops nearby for groceries when needed. Waterpark (free) next door, oval, playground. The amenities here were perfect too. Kitchen. Hot water. Fridge to use. Friendly managers. Beach right there. We've had a great time here.

This is my 5th visit to Pialba. I love the park near the beach. The managers are extremely accommodating and very friendly. They go out of their way to be helpful with parking your van. The ammenities are very clean. I have nothing but praise for this caravan park.

No idea on rooms hence 1 star. The rest tho was amazing, right on the beach, showers and toilets were very clean every day. $60 p\n services included. The staff were amazing, short walk to Main Street and all services if you require them. To be so close to everything in Hervey Bay (Pialba) for that price is pretty bloody good if you ask me.

This review will definitely not align but with immigrants and more casual "campers" The location within the place was nice(beachfront), although I have to score 4 as per my personal experience: This is ideal for a caravan, not as much for a simple tent, so the space to accommodate within the space is limited and feels weird ( like overpaying for what you need as you have to put your tent like in an awkward position) There was also a little detail outside the control of the place but worth mentioning for people like us( immigrants), we could feel for the first time a bit of discrimination and classism, nothing to worry about a lot, just puts you off a bit whilst you get used to it. Down the night we could enjoy the "starry night" and that's what I want to keep from the place P.S. management was great at communicating a detail about our tent positioning and also they helped in facilitating us an extension, which really appreciated it( we are obviously newbies at it)

We stayed for 3 nights recently. Amenities were clean. Nice position on the beachfront but unfortunately Hervey Bay seems to have a bit of a hoon problem and The Esplanade ( which the c'park is located on)seems to be their playground. Car noise in the evening was annoying and gave the area a dodgy feel.

Seriously, they need to limit the number of people at the water park during school breaks. We got there right when it opened at 10, and it was fine for like ten minutes, but by 10:30, it was total chaos. It's an accident just waiting to happen. Kids were pushing and shoving on the kids' slides, kids were crying everywhere, and parents were just glued to their phones. The line for the big slides was all the way down the stairs. My kid was done after fifteen minutes. He was like, "Can we leave? I don't feel safe."

Great fun, amazing views looking out to K'gari/ Fraser Island! It's free to play around on parts and great value for the awesome water slides! We also did the Aqua Ninja water activity course that was good fun with a bit of a challenge!

Great place to take the kids and us big kids for a bit of fun! Well priced and in a prime spot on the beach. Only reason it wasn't a 5 umwas due to short staffing there was nowhere to buy a water. The young guy spotting the slides was friendly and attentive.

There's something for everybody! My kids love the splash pad and the water slides! Free entry unless you or your children over 120cm tall want to use the water slides for $8 for 10 slides. Great place to take the kids.

Great water play area. Went everyday we were here and the kids loved it. The older ones loved the slide too. $8 for 10 slides. Great part of our holiday

Great place for kids (young and young at heart), plenty of free off street parking around, with a delicious cafe next door and the gorgeous beach in front. The renovations/maintenance have made it even better. Plenty of shaded areas, change rooms/bathrooms, and friendly lifeguards around. Love bringing my littles here

One of the most amazing free water parks in Queensland. Areas for big or little kids. My son loves Wetside and that's our favourite place to visit when we come up to Hervey bay. Now with the playground and skate park next to it we love it even more.

Not for the faint of heart, and not entirely sure how the slides would go in the middle of summer, but the kids loved them, could see the pride they had when they climbed to the top then choosing which slide to go down. And the swings were fun, oh so fun.

Great playground. This area is well lit even when it gets dark. Not sure why kids would want to still play here after it gets dark though. The equipment is probably better suited for bigger kids given the heights involved. Otherwise even bigger kids (adults) may have to accompany some of the younger kids up. The ground is nice and soft in case you can't make it all the way up. But the safer option would be to climb back down again.

What a wonderful place for children, great playground, a lots of fun activities! It's a big place, lovely place to go and spend time. The place has everything, clean public toilet, car park, picnic table, BBQ, lots of shade, nice playground.

A little bit limited for younger kids, but great for slightly older kids or adults alike. The climbing frame was really quite tall, and there's a height recommendation for kids who want to climb this and go down one of the tree large slides. Otherwise, there's a sandpit with diggers, swings, small climbing ropes, a wheelchair swing or computerised touch games for adults. The area was kept clean and there were several benches for picnics, alongside toilet facilities too.

Great clean looking park with heaps of things for older kids, young and kids with disabilities. Has Ample parking, toilets, covered areas, seating and water fountains. Next to the beach. If you go early in morning there is hardly any one there. There is also a wheelchair swing available. The big jungle gym and slides not recommended for very young kids due to risk of falling.

I really wish we had something like this in Townsville! My son loved the climbing and the slides! It was amazing! It's my son in the photos.

Also fun for adults! There is a wheelchair swing! There was a cool computerised touch noise game thingy that had my attention, but unfortunately a smaller non adult child was playing on it so we never got a turn. We will definitely visit again when we're in Hervey Bay. So much fun!

Just wowed away. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful atmosphere and wonderful welcoming staff. Welcomed with water and the set menu for this month. Each dish explained and each sounding as amazing as the last and the special touch was knowing it was all so local with a guide on the back of the menu showing where everything has been sourced. 100% recommend. Will return time and time again.

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the night and food was perfect. I had been wanting to try Odyssey for some time, but I do believe I chose the best time to come. The service was just wonderful, high spec, but very welcoming too, such a fantastic mix. Can't fault the food at all, and loved being able to have a wide selection of "per glass" wines that matched beautifully. Will be back again, and in the meantime rave about this place A LOT!!

Odyssey Bistro is an absolute standout in Hervey Bay. Their philosophy of using fresh, locally sourced produce shines through in every dish - you can really taste the quality. The menu is creative and full of flavour, the atmosphere is intimate yet welcoming and the service is spot on. A true celebration of local food and a must-visit for anyone who loves dining with heart.

Overall, I had quite a good time here. It can get a bit too loud but I guess it depends on the crowd you get. I tried: 🍸Odyssey Margarita — a medley of tequila, BBQ pineapple, lime & jalapeño salt. 🐑 The most flavourful and tender lamb skewers that works so well with the hummus, crispy chickpeas, pickled onion, orange and parsley dressing. 🦐 The portion, wow. fresh baked prawns with the creamiest Balinese curry. 🐟 🥩 I wasn’t too crazy about the mains. But they cook both the fish and steak at the right texture but the toppings were just ok for me. 🥔 Potatoes roasted in duck fat was crispy and savoury. 🍰 I loooove the orange almond cake; the chocolate tart was alright.

Such incredible flavours!!! Very generous servings, so fresh and vibrant. I was impressed with the wine list selection too. Loved Odyssey!! Would definitely come back.

I recently dined at Odyssey Restaurant expecting a fine dining experience given the $300 bill. Unfortunately the evening fell well short of even basic hospitality standards. From the outset, the service was unprofessional and disengaged. Staff delivered the menu in a robotic manner, with NO effort to guide or engage. When concerns about the meal were raised, staff's response was dismissive and belittling - and attitude entirely at odds with the principles of quality service. The food itself was equally disappointing. Dishes were excessively fatty (pork) and poorly balanced, while the cheese platter offered only a single selection. A panna cottage that resembled a marshmallow, paired with frozen fruit felt careless and far from refined. None of the courses reflected the level of skill or creativity expected at this price point. Ambience was also lacking. For a restaurant positioning itself as fine dining the absence of atmosphere, attentive, friendly service, and well executed dishes made the experience- feel unworthy of the cost. Overall, the visit was deeply unsatisfying. When spending at this level, diners should expect quality, care and respect. Unfortunately Odyssey Bistro failed to deliver on every front.

We had the pleasure to dine at Odyssey during our summer holidays in Queensland. The restaurant was recommended on the Good Food guide, and after checking their website, we decided to try our luck at the last minute. The team was kind enough to accommodate us with the last 2 seats, at the bar. We had a great night still, looking at the barman shake cocktails and mocktails and serving wine. We love that the menu is a 'market' menu. It changes week after week depending on what is in season. The team in the kitchen works with "local" suppliers, growers, farmers or dairy farms about 300km around. We both really enjoyed the flavour combinations and how the chef plays with textures. Every dish was fresh and few components only were fried, which we lived (some restaurant really to much on fried components for crunch in my view). The menu was delicious from start to finish. The service was lovely, there for every of our needs without being too present. We will definitely be back next time we visit that beautiful part of Australia.

To be honest, this café has a great location with lovely scenery and friendly-looking staff, but that’s about it. The food was really disappointing — completely lacking in flavor. If the team could improve the menu, it would make a huge difference. At the moment, it’s more of a photo spot than a dining destination. Don’t waste your money on the food — it’s not worth it. I also feel compelled to mention the service, which was surprisingly poor. I first visited in 2019 and remember taking photos here. This time, however, I was very disappointed. No water was offered, and when I politely asked, the staff’s response was rude: “Help yourself.” I ordered a flat white, and a staff member brought two cups over, claimed one was my latte, and walked away without answering when I tried to clarify. Then she just served another table and ignored me completely. The restaurant didn’t feel very clean either — the atmosphere was tense, and the staff all looked stressed and overwhelmed. It’s such a shame, given the beautiful location.

Awesome location and good vibes. We went here for dinner, watched the sunset. Goan vindaloo and prawn gnocchi were both yummy dishes from the specials menu, both had a bit of spice to them! Garlic bread was also quite good. Great aperol and good local tap beer.

Enzo’s on the Beach is the perfect spot no matter the time of day. Whether it’s cocktails and ciders in the afternoon, a relaxed lunch, or a beachfront breakfast, it always delivers. Great food, stunning views and an unbeatable vibe - anytime is a good time at Enzo’s!

Wow, what a place. We have been there many times. Always a treat to go there. Magnificent views 👏 directly at the beach. Food delicious Dog friendly Playground next door

We dined here on Sunday 28th September for brunch, we sat at a table but wanted to move to a table closer the outside area, we were told it was reserved at 2pm even though it waa dirty still, once they cleaned it, it wasnt marked as reserved, we were seated at 145, the table we wanted was still was empty the whole entire time we ate and 1 hour after we there still empty, we were really annoyed at this as they could have checked to see if that reservation was going to make it, still it remained empty when we left, this says alot about service or caring about patrons and going above and beyond in your job. My sister ordered 2 cocktails different types and said they were delicious, meals were good, burgers were enjoyed, karaage chicken was enjoyed, the oysters were devoured, garlic bread abit greasy but enjoyed. Overall enjoyed dining here, just wish they checked if that reserved table was still coming because it sat empty for over an hour. Views are great, ambience is nice. Service needs attention, meaning greeting customers well. We aren't hervey bay residents, we were on a holiday so this was a stand out for me in my stars rating on service, you can see in the picture the table were wanted to sit at remains empty.

What a top little spot. Ample on the menu to choose from, food tasted great and even the kids sizes are big. For a Saturday afternoon, was a busy place, but service was quick. Few little let downs however. Some couple at a table had a dog inside which was barking occasionally, which was annoying. Plus there was loud dance music playing. For a beach side cafe/restaurant, would have been nicer to have more appropriate tunes.

Highly recommended!! Fantastic place right on the beach!! Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was delicious and came out fast, even on a busy Saturday morning. Best Affogato I've ever had!!

We went for dinner with our toddler and had a nice meal! Food: food was great! And huge portions. I had the burger and it was perfectly cooked (link in the middle). My husband had the Parma and said it was good, standard pub Parma. My son had fish and chip and loved it. We ordered the Mezze plate for $30 and thought it would be ok size for an entree….it was huge! Could definitely feed 4 for an entree! Service: You have to order at the bar which is absolutely fine but you go to one counter to order food, another to order drinks. My husband ordered his beer then ordered my cocktail and was told he had to to go to the main bar for cocktails so ended up 3 different spots to order in total. QR code on the table would definitely be better. Food came very fast, mains came 5 mins after our Mezze plate. Not ideal but not really a problem! The staff were all very kind and friendly and willing to help. The gentleman that seated us was great! Atmosphere: atmosphere was fine, we were there early so was quiet. Only down side was they no longer have a kids play area. Not the end of the world as there is a park across the road that I took our son to and they gave us colouring in but would be nice if they could rebuild their kids area (there was a fire). All in all a good place to eat with a toddler!

Nice pub style lunch. View from upper deck. Good menu choices. I had pork bbq ribs wife had fish & chips. Both were delicious.

We love going to the Beach House Hotel. You have fantastic friendly hard working staff who are very efficient at their craft. You cater for vegans by offering the not chicken schnitzel and will allow us to have it as a meal with vegetables, we would like to see more vegan options with no oil or nuts. The food is great, the portions and price are reasonable, the atmosphere though really busy at times is pleasant. I highly recommend your establishment to anyone.

Beautiful meal could not fault. Our choices for mains Garlic Prawns, Calamari, Fish, all meals came with salad and chips. The best aspect all locally caught seafood. We will be back on our next visit to HB.

Fantastic food and service! The signature garlic prawns were delicious and my Aunty said the battered fish was the best she has had in years. Which is lovely since we're in Hervey Bay for her birthday. We didn't have a booking but the staff were amazing at getting us a table. Will definitely be back!

Went here for dinner last night and hubby and I were a bit reluctant as we haven't been here for well over a year. We both were pleasantly surprised, the food was amazing and the staff attentive and professional. Nice to see our go to pub is worth visiting again, we will be back and be quite happy to bring family and friend's again. Thank you beach house for a great experience management should be proud of the team here :)

I was at the beach house last night with my girlfriends and I just wanted to say how amazing the female security guard was! She was on the ball. We felt so safe. We will visit more often now. Valuable Employee ☆☆☆☆☆

I cant leave a zero star rating! This place is ridiculous $161.30c spent got maybe 1/2 a container of each food ! I'm so upset ! Trying to feed 7 people out of what we received is just not gunna happen! Looks like I'm gunna have to reorder more food! DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL !! When we actually got to eat food was dry and disappointing!

Visited with a group of friends and absolutely loved our experience 🏆 Service was polite and fast, our table was ready as we arrived. with chilled water and menus for all The menu choices are perfect, not a huge number but a very good range of meals 👍 Easy access, straight from street level, plenty of on-street parking and plenty of space between tables Fully licensed and happy to split the bill 👍 Highly recommended for delicious fresh food and great service ❤️

Was keen to order as had some good reviews. Ordered 5 dishes for $116,two of them were rice dishes , coconut rice, fried rice, mixed vegetables, honey prawns, sweet and sour pork. Prawns were fine for the rest no flavour and no sweet and sour sauce for the pork. Hands down the worst Chinese meal I have ever had.

Honestly the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The creamy garlic was tasteless just straight cream with no flavour, the chicken was rubber, it had big jello fat bits. I had black bean beef and that was crap, literally no favour and rubber Fried rice was crap, rock solid - how do you mess up fried rice ? And the curry puffs nasty.

Beautiful fresh food and brilliant service! We had the Mongolian Beef, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Satay Chicken and coconut rice. Each dish was delicious. Lovely and friendly atmosphere.

Got seated without a reservation. Ordered the handmade spring rolls for an entree, they were amazing! Ordered the Mongolian beef which was amazing, honey king Prawns, which weren't the greatest, but aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Also Ordered a special fried rice which was a nice accompaniment, also ordered the char kway teow which was nice on its own.

Mixed Entree was ok. The curry puff didnt have much filling Neither did the prawn toast. The dim sim was onky in the middle. Satay chicken was amazing. Mongolian beef was also very nice. We had a large fried rice. It had big chucks of duck, and chicken through it. The staff where friendly and Polite, very nice restaurant you wont be dissapointed.

Staff quickly showed me to a table in the air conditioned dining room. An absolute necessity with the warmer days approaching. Steak was perfect. Plate was full.

Had an amazing lunch at the tavern, generous serving of food and the whole experience was made even better by our amazing waitress Liv. She was so attentive and made sure we were okay the whole time. Such a lovely attitude and always a smile on her face!

The most disappointing food in Hervey Bay... ordered full rack of ribs and got something what looked like a starter size. My wife ordered steak... very avarage but no veggies... and thirt meal beaf and mushroom pie with no mushrooms... needles to say that we were waiting for 1.5 hour ...

Food and service was amazing! Loved every aspect of our experience today! We will return. Thanks!

Quiet Wednesday night. Ordered at 6:45pm didn’t see our order for nearly an hour. Guy that bought our meal out didn’t give a stuff about the service being slow. I also had to go and find my own cutlery. At $50 for a steak, the serving was small and the steak looked like had been put through a tenderiser. I ordered a medium, the steak came out medium well to well done. My wife’s calamari was half nice, half chewy. Pity, I was looking forward to a nice pub meal. I’ve come to the tavern several times over the years when visiting Hervey Bay. This visit will be my last.

Very pleasantly greeted by Teina. Such a friendly and hospitable young man. Was very impressed with his service all round. Drinks nice and cold. Venue clean. Food was great. But this young man stood out with his exceptional customer service skills.

Fantastic venue for the adults to relax while the kids play. My pasta dish was amazing (and enough for lunch the next day!) and service by the lovely bubbly Liv couldn’t have been better. We love the tav, always a winner!

Ordered a takeaway from here last night and was so disappointed that the focaccia and cheesecake didn’t arrive. Instead it was a small pizza, looked like a child’s? Photo attached. The bbq chicken pizza was good and we have had food from here before but it was upsetting that these items were not delivered and we have still had to pay. This order was placed via uber and the driver confirmed it this was all they had; we called the restaurant and the owner was quite abrupt saying it was Uber’s problem and hung up as they were too busy. Contacted uber and we are unable to have a refund. Unfortunately won’t be returning after this experience. Such a shame.

Best pizza I've had for a long time. Perfect amount of toppings and tasted delish. Better than any Italian pizza we've had in Thailand.

Fantastic food, Welcoming staff, Great location, Giovannis ticks all the boxes, A small genuine Italian restaurant in Hervey Bay, making some of the best pasta and pizza there is. I eat here regularly after work, they are quick and efficient without losing any of the quality. I'm a sucker for their carbonara pasta, but i can also reccomend their pizzas. Great food, Thanks for the great service

We ordered pizza via Uber Eats at 5:50 pm and it was supposed to arrive by 6:30 pm. Unfortunately, it didn’t arrive until 8:05 pm after multiple calls to the store. It was really disappointing and embarrassing, especially since we were waiting for so long. On top of that, all three pizzas were extremely salty and not enjoyable to eat. Very poor experience — both with delivery time and food quality.

We stumbled across Giovanni's Pizza Bar and were absolutely blown away. This place is the real deal—authentic Italian pizza and pasta that bursts with the fresh, vibrant flavors of Italy. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and our meals arrived quickly, perfectly cooked, and full of heart. You can tell they care about quality and tradition. Highly recommend Giovanni's to anyone craving a truly great Italian meal. After this experience, we’ll definitely be regulars!

Amazing pizza, one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten and I say it as an Italian!!! Authentic and original place the super owner and the staff wow very kind and ready to fulfill every request. we will definitely come back

Amazing food, Door dash were unable to find a driver, we ended up collecting. Giovanni went out of his way to make sure we were fairly compensated. We will definitely be back, thank you so very much!
