- From US$95.14 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 693 reviewsWe loved the setting of the cabin. We only stopped one night during our road trip but would have loved to stay longer to explore the beach access and enjoy the nature and wildlife more. The cabin had a handy deck area to sit outside. From this we enjoyed our morning coffee whilst watching a kangaroo grazing and an abundance of birds. Peaceful and relaxing before getting back on the road. The cabin had everything you need for self catering. The shower was good and beds comfy.Guest review byDebs FUnited Kingdom
- From US$115.99 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,038 reviewsI needed a cheap place to stay for a week while in town for uni and choose the studio cabin here. On arrival they had the aircon on for me which was nice after a long drive. The bed was comfy, great water pressure in the shower, fridge and microwave as well as full set of plates, cutlery etc. and the property was quiet overnight, so for the price you can't ask for more.Guest review byWAustralia

The coffee, tea and milk was provided. The beach being a 100m walk away. There are a lot of restaurant options in close proximity to the hotel. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Great play area for kids just across the road next to the beach.Guest review byMelike NaudéSouth Africa

We both grew up in Rockhampton and so our 2 days there was spent visiting family and friends. Did notice that Yeppoon isn't the quiet little town it once was and happy to see the big improvements both in Yeppoon itself and also the state of the road from Rockhampton to Yeppoon.Guest review byCherylAustralia - 10.0

Gladstone has so many beautiful parks walks and water fronts to spend your time in. A large variety of restaurants and plenty of shops and things to do. The nightlife also doesn’t disappoint, there are quite a few venues to choose from to go for a dance, an evening meal or to sit for a few drinks with live music. The locals were all very polite and friendly and helpful, it’s a very family friendly city and we think has a lot to offer.Guest review bysabrinaAustralia - 8.0

It’d be great if there was a better way to get there by motor vehicle, than having to battle your way on that Freeway from Brisbane, I was stuck on it 3 times in this last week firstly going into & out of Brisbane on family business, then on departure from Bundy to drive home to Newcastle in NSW I believe it added up to two hours to each trip I made on it, where are all these motor vehicles travelling to? for someone like myself that regularly uses the Freeway from Newcastle to Sydney plus associated Toll roads in and around Sydney that’s saying something, don’t get me wrong your roads are great but wooohee that slowly moving traffic, it’s a shocker.Guest review byPhilAustralia - 10.0

Bargara was quite but also had everything you needed, cafe's, resataurants, supermarkets, butcher, bakeries etc. Some of the businesses were charging like a bull at a gate, the Bargara Beach Hotel charged us $5.30 for a soda water, So wouldn't go there again. Check ahead to see if places are open on a Sunday or Monday as a lot were closed. Going to Berry Berry Bundaberg was a rip off. To pick your own strawberries they charged you $10, family of four, to enter paddock and then $16 a kilo for the ones you picked, so first kilo was $26. Great walks olong the explanade, very beautiful coastline. Got to see a pod of whales about 100mts off shore at Mon Repos. Definately go back to Mon Repos to see the turtles laying their eggs, booked it for January 2026.Guest review byGlennAustralia - 8.0
