Welcome to our home – Hervey Bay, Queensland’s coastal gem on the stunning Fraser Coast. Known for its relaxed lifestyle, family-friendly beaches, and access to K’gari (Fraser Island), this charming destination offers a perfect blend of nature, adventure, and serenity.

At Akama Resort, we believe Hervey Bay isn’t just a place to visit – it’s a place to experience. Here’s why our guests love staying with us while discovering the best of the bay.

 

1. Stay Closer to K'gari Adventures

K'gari, the largest sand island in the world, is a bucket-list destination, we're lucky to be just steps away from the Urangan Marina, the main gateway for Fraser Island tours, 4WD adventures, and fishing charters.

When you stay at Akama Resort, you cut down on travel time and step straight into the action. Let us help you book an unforgettable tour right from our on-site tour desk.

 

2. The Ultimate Whale Watching Destination

Every year between July and October, Hervey Bay becomes the stage for one of nature’s most awe-inspiring shows – the humpback whale migration. These gentle giants pause in the calm waters of the bay, making it the best place in Australia to see them up close.

Our prime location near the marina means you’re only a short walk from daily whale watching cruises. Just one more reason our guests say staying at Akama is unforgettable.

 

3. Beaches That Let You Breathe

If you're dreaming of wide-open beaches without the crowds, Hervey Bay delivers. With calm, shallow waters, it’s perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or a sunset walk along the scenic Esplanade.

And from Akama Resort, you’re never far away. Enjoy nearby parks, family picnic spots, and safe beaches – all just minutes from your apartment.
