Tingeera Beachfront Apartments

I got a discounted rate for room 307, and I’m glad I didn’t pay full price. It’s not worth what they usually charge. The bedrooms are big and beautiful, with large balconies at the front and back. The beds were okay, nothing special. Bathrooms are large, the kitchen is spacious, but the lounge is on the small side and the dining area is a bit ordinary. Better furniture would help. The bay view from the room is great, and the beach and playground are across the road. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, and the outside is clean and tidy. Inside the apartment was dusty and dirty, though, so the cleaners need to lift their game. I’d probably come back if I’m in Hervey Bay again.

I wouldn't stay here again. Alarms kept sounding through the night, and when I called the police they said they couldn't help because they didn't know which unit the alarm was coming from. Whoever had the faulty alarm should have called them instead of leaving the whole neighbourhood awake for hours. I wouldn't let an alarm of mine carry on like that overnight.

The rooms were spacious, with lots of cupboard space, decent bathrooms, and beds that were okay. The balconies were huge, which the kids loved. But the doors had no screens, and the locks were faulty and low enough for a toddler to reach, so I was worried about the children getting out there unattended or while we were asleep. The place could use more care. The kitchen shelves were dusty, the microwave was dirty, and there was coconut left on the bench. The dining chairs had no padding, and the outdoor chair was so wobbly we didn't risk sitting on it. We also missed having a hair-dryer since we'd forgotten ours. These things didn't spoil the stay, and we had a nice time, though it didn't really have a beachy feel.

We were greeted by friendly, helpful staff who knew the area well and had plenty of suggestions for things to see and do. The apartments were clean and roomy, and the customer service made a good impression. The view was fantastic, and I loved the early mornings and evenings, with walking tracks along the shoreline nearby. There are shops, cafes and restaurants close by, so we didn't need to cook for three nights. The meals we had seemed good value for the portions and price. We've still got kids, so we skipped the Thai and fancier places for now, though they smelled great. I enjoyed it enough to come back next year.
