My stay at this resort was absolutely fantastic! The apartments were spacious and clean, with direct water views from the balcony that made for a lovely evening relaxing outside. The hospitality from Andrew, Donna, and Renata was genuinely warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. The location was excellent, being just a short stroll from the beach and local eateries. The only downside was the absence of a dishwasher, but honestly, I'd take the views over that any day!

I had a wonderful experience at this resort! The apartments were spacious and beautifully appointed, with stunning views over the water. The staff were really cheerful and helpful throughout our stay. Plus, being so close to the beach and local shops made everything super convenient. However, I did notice that the kitchen utensils could be upgraded a bit for those who like to cook more elaborately.

Our stay at Shelly Bay Resort was delightful with spacious, clean apartments and a fantastic view of the beach. The location is perfect, just across the road from the water and close to great dining options. While the service was wonderful, we did notice a couple of minor issues like the air dryer venting into the apartment and a little smell from the restaurant nearby. Overall, we found the resort to be very comfortable and would definitely return.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this resort, located right in the heart of Torquay Hervey Bay. The rooms were modern and offered stunning views, making my experience really enjoyable. The service from Dean and his team was exceptional, always going above and beyond. The dining at the on-site Indian restaurant was delightful, though the options outside were a bit limited at times. Overall, it was fantastic value for money, and I look forward to returning.
