What guests think

At Kellys Beach Resort, travellers highlight the leafy, beachside setting and family-friendly villa layout, with roomy cabins near the shore, a relaxed vibe, and convenient on-site amenities that make short or longer stays easy.

Guests like the clean pool, tennis court and handy BBQs, while the restaurant earns frequent praise for quality. Rooms are spacious and practical with kitchens and fun lofts, but several note dated fittings, small bathrooms, hard to cool lofts, noise from appliances, and unreliable Wi-Fi. Staff are commonly described as friendly and helpful, though a few mention indifferent reception, strict takeaway cutoffs, and occasional housekeeping shortfalls. Expect a relaxed, good-value stay with family appeal and some aging elements.

Property was lovely, nice place at an affordable price. Reception were lovely. Pool facilities clean. Accommodation had all utensils that were required. Unfortunately we had some horrible neighbours in the cottage next to us who woke us with them screaming at each other. Obviously nothing to do with the property itself as they can not predict people doing that.

Quiet and private. Love the greenery, bamboo and little creek running through the property. My boys loved sleeping in the loft and I found everything I needed to make dinner in the kitchen. The pool was warmer than the beach which was only a short walk down the road and very kid friendly. We’ll be back next year!

Mould ALSO *ants EVERYWHERE BATHROOM *swivel towel rail, eye level EXTREMELY DANGEROUS *silicone upon silicone around bath, then there's the mould thriving on it. * more ants* BEDROOM *cheapest carpet looked like it was just rolled out and never stuck in down. *floor boards creaked and groaned with every step. Got into bed gently as we were afraid we would end up dropping through the floor. FRONT SLIDING DOORS *got stuck on rails as you try to shut and lock it, VERY DIFFICULT *bird crap all over verandah. **OVERALL If I could give this a NEGATIVE number it still would not be enough.

Property was dated, showing signs of wear and tear but comfortable. The villa was well stocked with all the requirements and quite and close to beaches and shopping. A car would be needed to access both. The villa had a double bed, and loft accommodation via a ladder for children. A shower over bath, and minor maintence the only drawbacks.

This property was most likely THE spot back on the day. It’s nice and has a tropical resort feel but it’s feeling very dated. I was super disappointed that the hot tub was not working (no heat) - since it is directly connected to the pool it was cold. But, the room AC was good so we slept well. Having the kitchen area was nice too. Bathroom and toilet room were very small.

Easy to imagine kids falling. (The loft is clearly visible on booking) Convenient to the Mon Repos turtle centre which is great because if you are in a later group you might be getting in well after bedtime!

The little unit was lovely and I loved the jungle feel of the place. I wish we had one more night there as it’s very relaxing. The restaurant was extremely good. Just wish they had breakfast there.

We love coming here! The location is perfect - close the the beach and not too far to interesting places in Bundaberg. My children and I enjoy spending time in the pool and using the games area. We also ate at the restaurant for the first time, which was tasty and well priced. Our favourite thing? The villa. It’s an awesome space to stay in. The loft is cool and we all love staying there. We were so sad to leave and can’t wait to return!!!
