Queensland’s Fraser Coast is home to some Australia’s best natural attractions, including a wealth of pristine Marine and National Parks to explore. With a selection of accommodation choices including BreakFree Great Sandy Straits and Mantra Hervey Bay, there is a property to suit every taste and holiday style.
If you’re traveling to the Fraser Coast during Queensland’s whale watching season, tours depart from the Hervey Bay marina, situated just moments away from our hotels and resorts. During July to November, you’ll witness the majestic humpback whales as they migrate north, and towards the end of the season watch as they return with their newborn calves and frolic about in the waters below. Explore the coastline on a fishing charter, sign up for a scuba diving excursion, or head out on a 4WD tour to Fraser Island – the world's largest sand island and an adventurers playground. Explore the wonder of the world below by snorkeling at Lady Elliott Island, a rich habitat for a variety of sea life including manta rays, turtles, and subtropical fish. Hand feed wild dolphins at Tin Can Bay – a much-loved family activity, or stay on the mainland and witness the colourful sands of Rainbow Beach and magnificent Carlo Sand Blow which forms part of the Great Cooloola Walk.
Offering absolute waterfront accommodation, at BreakFree Great Sandy Straits you can throw down your suitcase and leave your cares at the door. Ideally located beside the marina, you’ll be just 50 metres from the beach where you relax on sandy shores and cool off in peaceful waters. Featuring a range of fully self-contained Studio, 1, 2, 3 Bedroom Apartments and Penthouses, you can take advantage of the fantastic amenities on offer including your very own private balcony or patio where you can admire the ocean or marina from the comfort of your Hervey Bay accommodation.
