Beach Motels Hervey Bay

When checking out the various lodging options, Shelly Beach Motel is a place to come to mind. Located in Urangan, this motel is surrounded by pristine beaches and other great places to check out.

This particular area showcases nice temperatures (28 degrees Celcius in summer and 22 degrees Celcius in winter!) and prides itself on all rooms having beautiful views of the ocean.

There’s nothing like watching soft waves in the morning or evening. The experience is super tranquil!

Description

The motel at Shelly Beach isn’t as fancy looking as some other resorts or hotels, however, it does have that quiet and peaceful look to it.

Top-level rooms have private balconies for enjoying the ocean views even more and bottom-level rooms have complete access to their courtyard area.

Both areas come with perks of their own and personal preference will rule in this decision. Either way, both are beautiful options!

  • The rooms – The motel is smaller than other larger accommodations but that doesn’t mean they are big on giving comfort. Each room is decorated a little differently and provides a totally unique experience for its guests. Because of the motel’s smaller size, the attention to detail in the rooms is an appreciated factor!
  • Outdoor gazebo area – The gazebo area is one of the most beloved spots at the motel. It is not only an outdoor kitchen area (complete with everything for a good bbq!) but its decor is ever-changing. This ensures that the area stays current with the time of year and is inviting for those staying at the motel. Moreover, it is a beautiful space that gives a different vibe periodically. Those who might stay here more than once will find themselves having a different view of the gazebo area!

These two facility features are the most interesting parts of the Shelly Beach Motel. It truly sets it apart from other lodging options in the area.
