Grange Resort Hervey Bay

There are 41 units at this resort. We stayed in pet-friendly unit 9 in Dec 2024. Modern 3 bedroom unit, with 3 levels. King-sized bedroom on the top floor has ensuite with full sized bath and shower plus generous walk-in wardrobe. 2 bedrooms on 2nd level, plus bathroom, balcony and TV nook with sofa bed. All bedrooms are air conditioned. TV nook is not. 2 lock-up garages. We had a third car and it could only be parked outside, directly in front of the double garage. Ground floor is air conditioned, with a well stocked kitchen, dining area seats 6, and lounge area seats 5. Outdoor dining in private courtyard seats 7. No barbecue. Appliances and air conditioners were all modern and worked well. Laundry with outside clothes line. Ground floor toilet was handy, and the unit has PLENTY of power outlets, which was appreciated. The pool area and small games room are clean and well maintained. The waterfall operates, when the swim-up bar is in operation. On-site managers are friendly and professional. 5 minute stroll to the ocean beach, at the end of the street. 10 minute walk to small shopping centre at the other end of the street. The whole complex is clean, quiet, well-run, and completely secured by cameras. We would definitely stay here again.

We booked a one night stay (room 36, 2 bed apartment). Firstly the positives. - the beds were clean and comfy - the layout of the accommodation was great. Lots of outside space, and integral garage - the bathrooms had been cleaned - good fridge freezer The smell hit is as soon as we entered the property. It was overbearing, and was coming from several sources. The carpets appear to not have been cleaned since they were put in. So possibly decades. They were stained, smelly, The kitchen drawers and cupboards smelled dreadful. Looked like there had been flood or water damage at some point, and nothing replaced. In the kitchen there was brown liquid leaking from the dishwasher. I wiped this up, but it soon returned. Food spilled down the inside of cupboard under microwave There was a random sofa covered with a throw on the landing. On closer inspection under the throw, (this was another source of the smell). It looked a lot like somebody had been sick on it and it wiped over and left. And then covered with a throw so we wouldn’t notice. We actually slept in the second bedroom as the smell was least offensive there. Years of use, dogs, spillages, not dealt with. I have honestly seem cleaner farm yards. Room 36 should not be used again until a full refurb has happened. If anybody reading this thinks I am a moany reviewer, read my other reviews and you will see thats not the case.

This property has everything you could wish for, swimming pool, with a swim up bar, only open certain days, an updated play area, accommodating hosts (nothing is to much trouble just ask). They have a social night on Fridays in the pool area & anyone staying there is welcome, whether you are a permanent resident or a guest, just take a plate to share.
