Why they chose this property
Originally from Mildura, I initially chose Hervey Bay to be closer to my parents, to be able to just drop in for a cuppa and spend more time with them which I love.
Also, the year-round warm weather and close proximity to the Sunshine coast and Brisbane.
Hervey Bay has many world-renowned local attractions including Kongari and whale watching tours, the beautiful barrier reef and within a 2-3 hr drive to Australia zoo.
