Likes: pools & pool area, reception area, room was great and view was wonderful. Dislikes: Each room should have at least 1 designated secure parking spot, wifi did not work in room only pool area & reception, it wasn’t very pleasant sitting on the balcony with the air con vent blowing hot air on us, they should be moved.

Hi Sally,Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. The parking is unallocated meaning you can park anywhere underneath the property. We are also aware that the wifi is somewhat of an issue, however with great feedback, we can provide details to the providers.We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!

Was a good stay. Nice to see the pool nearly completed. Would like them to concider their in-house entertainment option as I found them poor at best when comparing six other places recently visited. Smart TVs are cheap now but only offering TV in the bedroom isn't upto standard.

I was looking forward to use the swimming pool and I was surprised to see that the pool was closed and under renovation. When I was booking my stay here, there was no any mentioning about the pool being closed. Nevertheless you are still advertising the pool at this place. This is totally misleading and very, very disappointing.

We have made all attempts to communicate the pools outage via all booking platforms, however, it is up to the individual booking engine what information they choose to share on their website.We hope we might be able to welcome you for a return visit at the conclusion of our pool renovations.Kind regards

Dear Dipan Many thanks for your feedback regarding your booking, made via Expedia, with us at Oaks Hervey Bay Resort & Spa. We have been communicating our pools outage via all booking platforms since works began in August of 2022. In addition, we have messaged all guests immediately upon booking via these platforms (Expedia included), and offered no charge cancellations, or date changes if guests do not wish to stay due to the pools being unavailable. As was the case with your reservation - records indicate that the automated message was sent to you immediately on booking at 10pm at night. All of our marketing and communications of the pools outage has been fair and transparent throughout. Kind regards

Very disappointed that we were not told that the entire pool area was closed off. Our 4 children were so looking forward to swimming while we were there. We were not notified by Wotif or the hotel. Then to top it off, builders started grinding tiles at 7am right outside our door. Very disappointed and will not be staying again.
