Kellys Beach Resort
A statement property along Australia's east coast, Kellys Beach Resort is the only location where sunrises gloriously paint the waters before nightfall. Nestled within 20 hectares of lush gardens in Bargara, Paradise is within reach. As you step into the lobby, soaring glass structures designed to evoke the elegant lines of an aircraft wing leave a lasting impression; sunlight dances off polished surfaces and casts intricate shadows on the polished marble floors. The lobby is adorned with carefully curated local art pieces that offer a glimpse into the vibrant culture of the Bundaberg region. The signature infinity pool invites relaxation, shimmering under the endless blue sky. Wander through the resort's grounds, where the children revel in expansive play areas while adults can unwind at the poolside bar, or engage in a mouthwatering BBQ dinner as the setting sun creates a tapestry of colours on the horizon.
Explore the Local Area
Perfectly positioned to experience Bundaberg and the wonders of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, you'll find countless attractions within easy reach. Just a 40-minute drive from the eco-friendly Snakes Downunder Reptile Park & Zoo, families can create memories amidst timeless landscapes and fascinating wildlife. Moore Park, a short ride away, opens its doors to tranquil beach walks and exhilarating fishing experiences; birdwatchers can anticipate rare sightings of Coxan's Fig Parrots, endearing residents of the area. For the adventurous soul, explore the coral cay islands like Lady Musgrave and Lady Elliot Island, renowned for their teeming marine life and stunning coral reefs. Transport is a breeze-just four hours by road or rail, or a quick flight north from Brisbane will have you at the resort before you know it.
