Tranquil self-contained accommodation with lake views in Hervey Bay.

Conveniently located just 300m from the beach and within walking distance of some of the best dining experiences in Hervey Bay, Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat provides a unique style of accommodation.  Our property offers guests an immersive nature experience where you can interact with wildlife in their natural habitat. Join us for daily encounters and feed our ducks, turtles and possums. Learn about how we can best nurture and protect their environment.  We welcome you to enjoy our clean, comfortable, affordable accommodation.  Every cabin has a lake view in a natural setting. Oh, and don’t forget to ask us for tips on local attractions and things to do.  We love to share.  We are the perfect base for you to explore the Fraser Coast, K'Gari, Lady Elliott Island and all things in between.

Booked 4, stayed 5 nights, would have stayed more but they were booked out! Great location, wildlife, great cabins with everything we needed and surprisingly good privacy and quiet. Deb is a great tourist advisor, describing everything the area has to offer, and then getting us bookings we preferred at short notice.
