All aspects of this hotel were perfectly fine.

Good location

The office area/reception was very dirty. Staff were smoking and drinking in the office and the dog there added to the smell.

The view over the lakes was spectacular. Lovely to seat outside in the morning, having breakfast and watching all the animals in the lake.

I was offered a room with good views of the lake.

This hotel is a true island of calmness and nature. Its location at a beautiful serene lake, surrounded by wildlife galore, makes it a perfect retreat. You can sit on the balcony and watch the ducks, turtles, and a variety of birds all day long. The rooms are equipped with enough kitchen facilities for preparing meals and enjoying them with a view. The staff is friendly and the basic amenities are provided, including breakfast.

All was just fine, no improvements needed.

We felt so convenient and homely as if we had been at our own summer cottage. We stayed 7 nights and enjoyed watching birds while having breakfast on the terrace.

The serene environment at hervey bay was relaxing. Waking up in the morning in front of the lake was beautiful. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

Thank you for a relaxing stay. Welcoming staff, lovely views of the lake, everything is well-maintained. A beach restaurant serves excellant food.

My recent stay at Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect for a peaceful escape, with stunning views of the private lake and an easy walk to the beach. The self-contained cabin was comfortable and clean, with a private balcony overlooking the serene lake. The birdlife and turtles added to the natural beauty of the surroundings. Despite the basic amenities, the tranquility of the retreat made up for it. The hosts were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. I highly recommend this retreat for nature lovers seeking a quiet getaway.

Nothing

We had a fantastic stay at Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat. The location was perfect for us, with beautiful nature all around. Our kids absolutely loved the wildlife, especially feeding the ducks and turtles by the lake every morning. The value for money was excellent, and we found it very convenient to access the property with all our luggage and baby gear. Despite some minor issues with the cabin, like the old style and a broken ice tray, it did not affect our overall enjoyment of our stay. We highly recommend this hotel for a quiet and relaxing getaway with young children. we had a wonderful experience at Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat.

It was very quiet and peaceful, close to the beach, shops and cafes.
