We arrived at the Aquarius in the middle of a huge storm that knocked out power to 161,000 customers from Brisbane to Hervey Bay. The property manager knew that we had a mobility limitation to consider and made every effort to accommodate us despite the elevators being inoperable. For her, and her husband's, efforts we are truly grateful. Quite aside from that adventure, we were very happy with the Aquarius. The condo was spacious and comfortable. The location, on the beach, can't be beat. There are some services within walking distance, which seems to be about standard in this area. One should anticipate that there will be some need to drive while staying in the Alexandra Headland area. In addition to being on the beach, there is a nice park behind this property with a great little playground for youngsters. Our two-night stay was too brief and I hope that we will be able to return soon. I tried to post photos of our experience. Expedia rejected them as being too large but didn't specify the maximum size.

Location and view are good, however, no internet, no Tv connection, the light at Unit 44 above the living room tv was not placed properly. Conntact management at the 1st day of stay, still no feedback. Free parking is advertised at the website, upon arrival, advised tiny carspace and ask to park at the unleased restaurant car space.

The resort itself is lovely, however we were just unfortunate that the standard 2 bedroom unit (25) we stayed in is likely the worst unit available. It was nice and clean, however the bedroom balcony looked over the car park and the living room balcony looked over the driveway, road and side of the complex. Though we could see the ocean, it was not enjoyable given the majority of the view was the driveway. The spa was also ice cold so weren’t able to enjoy it. Aside from the spa not being heated, if you were able to book a higher level unit facing the ocean, it would be a lovely stay

Unit was clean, airy, all appliances, furniture were in good condition, air con worked well. Even though there was a 4 lane road in front of the building with the sliding doors to the balcony closed there was very little internal noise. For access to the surf club and beach were only about 300 mts away. Secure underground car parking was only available if under 2 meters of height.

The location is great and the rooms are large and well equipped. Only downfall was the curtains in the main room were held together with clothes pegs and were broken. This did not allow the relaxed sleep ins we were looking forward to. The area was beautiful and the surf club across the road was great for an afternoon drink, breakfast and upstairs for dinner. It was an extremely popular spot. Overall, we had a great long weekend.

The location of this hotel was perfect for what we needed. A short walk to the beach and local surf club and various food options. The room had recently been refurbished and was comfortable and clean. You could easily have an extended holiday in this style of accommodation. The only mention would be the curtains, they are old and have holes in them. The main bedrooms curtains weren't attached to the tracks. Hotel staff were super friendly and accommodated our request for an extra blanket quickly. Would stay there again!
