Home From Hervey Bay

Kondari Resort Hervey Bay is a former Conference Centre. It used to have well over 60 units in various setups, a pool and poolside area as well as a small hotel with a Bistro, Bar and a Gaming Area. The latest owners have removed most of the Conference buildings and have even sold off a section of the "Resort" to another organisation which runs its section as "Lakeside Resort". There is a man built lake complex throughout the place with heaps of wildlife surrounded by tropical plant growth.

The accommodation requires some refurbishment. Though quite comfortable it looked like it could do with a makeover. Each room was air conditioned and was your typical motel type style. Ear plugs would have been handy when sleeping as the air con wasn't very quiet.

The hotel side did have and excellent Bistro Area with very good meals at excellent prices. One night was a steak night at just under $11 with an all you can eat Salad Bar. The steak was great and if you looked hard enough you also found some baked potatoes, cauliflower, baked pumpkin and vegetables. The Bistro was about 30 metres from our rooms so it was just a matter of a quick change of clothes and a short walk and we were ready to eat. They had similar arrangements for breakfast and lunch at $10 per person.


Hervey Bay still doesn't do anything for us as a destination. However, with the two other couples joining us for 2 of the 3 nights we were there we had a fantastic time. February is the quiet season so we almost had the place to ourselves. The rules were stretched a little so we could enjoy our drinks etc in an area very close to the pool (see photos left and above left).


We had the pool on one side and the lakes on the other. If you look closely at the photo of the lake you will see tortoises in the water. Remember to click on the photo for a larger view. Then click on Back to return to this page.
