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

It was close to where my family lives so just a quick walk away. The villas are dated, but adequate for my purposes as I didn't spend much time there. The internet was non existent and upon moving villas, the internet was sporadic. In this day and age I would have thought internet would be available and reliable.

I loved being near the lake, seeing various birds and fauna, and having the Fraser Island Explorer pick us up and deposit us right back outside the gate!

My husband and l had a wonderful time in Hervey Bay and our accommodation was in a great location. We were close to everything we needed and our unit was in a lovely quiet location. You didn’t feel like you were in town.

The room was dated and too far from the car 180 feet from car to front door. No under cover parking . It was raining that day and i decided to cancell I have healed back issues and didnt want to strain them with carry on luggage for that distance.

The setting is wonderful however spoiled by having to wash flying fox poo off the car every morning. There is no wifi in or near the villas. Entering the property requires a phone call at the gate. The bathroom door handle can get stuck.

The setting is beautiful but the cabins need a facelift. They are very dated and no storage or clothes etc. blinds were broken and curtains in bad condition and hung incorrectly one was back to front with the faded and dye run side inside. Paint was dull and off in lots of places. The grounds and lake with its wildlife are the saving feature. Very convenient to everything. Also very safe and secure.

Nice "bushy" setting. Not too crowded so it maintains the lakes view without the space. Lots of area for kids to play outside.

It is a lovely place, very relaxing. I have been there on several occasions. Lovely sitting of an evening feeding or watching the turtles, ducks and birds on the lake.

We have stayed here before a few years ago. The property itself is in a great position and is great being all off road parking. It is in a very convenient location. The cabins are a great size and there are the verandas too. The only letdown is the beds and kitchen items could do with an upgrade.

I chose this accommodation because of the lake and the fauna and was not disappointed. It was so peaceful sitting on the front porch watching all the birds and turtles in and around the water. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The toiletries provided consist of one tiny soap and one little tube of conditioning shampoo so you should bring your own stuff.

A beautiful sanctuary hidden away, yet so close to the beach and shops. So peaceful and tranquil, you can spend hours just sitting on the private balcony watching the ducks, birds and turtles. A really nice getaway.

Very relaxing stay. The cabins are well equipped and very clean and tidy. Lovely surroundings that encourage you to relax on the verandah and read a good book while you keep an eye out for ducks and turtles. The staff were great....with the lack of rain one area of the lake had dried up a bit, so they graciously let us move to a larger cabin so that we could take advantage of the lake outlook, which we appreciated. Great for families too....pool, playground, BBQ, quiet roads in the park and you can purchase food to feed the ducks and turtles. Great value for money. Highly recommend it. When we are next in Hervey Bay we will be back.

A pleasant stay. Cabins old but partly refurbished. Comfortable. A peaceful place to relax and enjoy the birds, ducks & turtles. A 10 minute walk to local pub and great meals at great prices. Plenty of walks and drives around Urangan/Hervey Bay. Pleasant staff, easy booking in and out.

We stayed in cabin 6. Unfortunately it needed some maintenance. We told the new managers of all the things that needed fixing. Other than those things, the cabin was located in a great location. It was very quiet with lots of ducks and turtles to watch. No free wifi. Shops, beach, tavern, botanical gardens, Urangan Pier are all close by.

This place is truly amazing, the wild life and turtles that are so close to your rooms, great for children. The villas are tidy and clean, a nice quiet location. Will stay again if in the area.

This is the most beautiful peaceful location with cabins dotted amongst the lush vegetation on the edge of the lake! Turtles and beautiful birds abound and there is s lovely pool for a swim and sunbathing. The cabins are spacious and have everything necessary for our stay! We had bfast on the veranda every morning in complete privacy . The staff are extremely welcoming and helped with booking trips to Fraser Island and couldn’t have been better. We would highly recommend Sanctuary Lakes especially for couples !

Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat is in no sense luxury accommodation, but for the money you pay, what you get is excellent. A lot of positives - Our cabin was very clean, the kitchen was well-equipped and reasonably large, and we ate most of our meals on our verandah which overlooked the lake. We very much enjoyed the wildlife on and around the lake. The managers and staff are pleasant and very helpful. When the electric kettle died they replaced it immediately. Two negatives - it was a studio room (no separate bedroom), and there was a shortage of cupboard space. The cupboard space issue is irritating when you're staying for a whole week. We enjoyed the Boat Club very much (just a short drive away). You definitely need a car to stay at Sanctuary Lakes as it's quite a distance from the main shopping districts. But only a few minutes walk from the foreshore.
