We got a room overlooking the ocean. The view was beautiful. The staff were friendly. The pool was great. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The furnishings were a little dated but post covid thats understandable.

Business/ Pleasure at Urangan.
The unit was overall great. Unfortunately there was a problem with the WiFi which lasted the whole 5 days where it was non-existent in the main unit areas and only available at the front door and sometimes front bedroom. Apparently due to a delayed upgrade. Wasn't good for my business as used up all my mobile data. Would have expected to have known about this at booking time. Some minor issues with clothes and dish washer. Bathroom needs an exhaust fan and better mirror lighting. Hard to shave looking at the mirror AFTER a shower.

This was a great place for the price. The location is very good for beaching and shopping. Our only complaint was the beds had dips in them... maybe turn the mattresses over?

Was not what we expected. We thought it would be a room and a bathroom, but it was a dull two bedroom unit. The view was gorgeous and the place was super clean and everything was simple and easy for us. The staff were super friendly and if there was a problem with anything on site we were notified immediately. (Only problem was a broken back gate.) so all in all amazing place to stay and will definitely stay again.

Great apartment. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. Great cafe Salt next door for coffee. Ocean straight across road but not much beach. Apartments had nice looking outdoor pool.

Santalina has great views of the bay and pier. It has many places where you can eat and enjoy a drink which are all walkable. If you prefer to make your own meals the kitchen is well equipped and has a full size fridge. Bedrooms are a good size with lots of storage space. We’ve been there a few times over the years and keep going back. Great place to stay.

The property is in a perfect location across from the ocean and near the pier with beautiful views from the front apartments. Beds were a little uncomfortable and could use updating. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Apartment was tired and in need of an update. Bathroom looked like it had been updated recently, but rest hadn't. There was no little luxuries with this apartment, (we stayed in #6 on the top floor)., despite the price. However on the plus side, it is a great location close to the pier, shops and bar/ restaurants and had a great view across the bay (make sure you get a front apartment as the back ones would see very little.).

Good location and facilities.
Although our unit was not waterfront, the view over the pool and sight of the sea down a path was pleasant. The short walks to the pier, along the beach, the community market and coffee shops were very convenient. The interior was bright and clean and generally well equipped.

Very roomy, great location, quiet and nice design. The only downside was the parking spaces. If you have a bigger car or 4x4 with a bad turning circle there will be a little bit of manoeuvring to get your car into the car space. Otherwise very pleasant all round. Pool area nice and clean. I will stay there again when in Urangan

* Large crack in the toilet door jamb with wiring exposed * 2 windows didn't shut and lock * Side door didn't lock * Very quiet room (on the back of the block and opposite side to the hotel next door) * Staff were very nice and attentive * Would stay again - have stayed here a few times over the past 5 years and it's just looking like the owners of the unit/s aren't updating the interiors

Great Value and Ideal location!
We've just had the best time in Hervey Bay, staying at the Santalina for our whale encounter. Our two bedroomed apartment had everything you needed in it, it was clean, the beds and furniture was very comfortable with the gorgeous sea view was a joy to behold! Best location for access to all attractions in the area! Will definitely stay there again!

Very good. Friendly management. Great location, property decor a little.dated but very comfortable. Amazing views. A negative is the apartment is located next to the smoking end of the bayswater bar which.sent drifts of cigarette smoke over our balcony. Great nearby restaurants and a wonderful board walk. We shall definitely return.

Hi Matthew We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately we cannot do much about the smoke from the neighbouring building. All I can suggest is that if you book again please ask for an apartment on the other side further away from the bar and we will do our best to accommodate you.
