Staff are not friendly, AC was not working even we complained twice and no action taken, the balcony hasn't been cleaned for ages, they have provided very few housekeeping and when we asked for an additional toilet paper roll they charged us $2.03 for it. Note: we got a villa for 5 for 3 nights and they provided 2 shampoos, 2 soaps and 1.5 toilet paper rolls!!!

Many thanks to the owners putting ours fears, of our 1am arrival, to rest by sorting out a taxi and clear information how to get in. The location is wonderful especially if you like birdlife! A relaxing stop off to go to K’Gari and couldn’t have asked for more!

our cabin a little dated, but extremely good value for what it was with comfy bed & great shower pressure in pleasant sanctuary with easy check in etc there are some amazingly renovated cabins within in this gated bird & turtle sanctuary but we chose to save a few dollar in a more dated one & it was very adequate.

We rented two chalets side by side - The fridges were not working - one froze everything, the other leaked water all day. The floors were sticky - as if they had been vacuumed but not mopped. the ceiling fan was so noisy we had to switch it off. Crockery was chipped - generally the chalets were run down and need updating

A very comfortable convenient place to stay in Hervey Bay. Every unit has a peaceful view over part of the lake. Everything you need for self catering. Woolworths is an easy walk away. We loved our stay at Sanctuary Lakes
