Hervey Bay is a well-known coastal city in Southern Queensland that is loved by national and international tourists. When you get to know the location, it becomes obvious why it’s such a popular destination. Whether you’re looking for peace, adventure or relaxation, Hervey Bay never disappoints. For homeowners at Thyme Lifestyle Resort Hervey Bay, it’s a stunning location that offers boundless opportunities, and they love that they get to call it home. 

A sea-side lifestyle 

It takes one Google search to find out that the beach is one of the best things about Hervey Bay. It’s crystal clear calm waters make for fun-filled summer days and stunning winter mornings. Homeowners at Thyme Lifestyle Resort Hervey Bay are mere minutes away from the beach and there are an array of benefits that come with this. 

When family comes to visit, being this close to the beach makes it feel like a holiday with so many fun family activities at your doorstep. Better yet, many of the activities are free! For those with young kids, WetSide Water Park should be added to the day’s activities. Otherwise, grab some sunscreen and enjoy a peaceful day on the beach and in the water. With free public BBQs closeby, you can bring out your inner masterchef and cook a delicious lunch for the family. 

For those who favour greenery over water, put your joggers on and stroll through the Botanic Gardens in Urangan. While you’re there, keep your eyes peeled for turtles in the pond and beautiful birds in the trees. This is a great activity for all ages as you can just walk through at your own pace. 

Love the outdoors but you’re ready to relax? A day of fishing might be just what you need. For those with a boat, pack your fishing rod, head to the boat ramp and enjoy a carefree day on the water. Bring your binoculars, because depending on the time of year, you might even see the humpback whales that Hervey Bay is so famous for!  

Just minutes away from all you need 

While the beauty of Hervey Bay might be enough for you to pack your bags and move here, that’s not all it has to offer. Thyme Lifestyle Resort Hervey Bay is conveniently located a short drive away from good food, quality entertainment, medical facilities and specialists, and the airport. 

For those who love to dine out, there are an array of cuisines to enjoy. You’ll find an Indian restaurant, a French restaurant on the waterfront and a Brazilian restaurant that also overlooks the water. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, with brilliant views to make your dinner out feel extra special. That’s your Saturday evening sorted! Come Sunday morning,  there’s plenty of cafes ready to welcome you for breakfast. Pick up your coffee and walk along the beach or take a seat at one of the beachside cafes and watch the waves crash from afar. 

For those less luxurious life admin appointments, medical specialists and the hospital can be found just a short distance from the lifestyle resort. Public transport is readily available, making the trip quick and stress-free, giving you more time to enjoy the things you love. 

Speaking of the things you love, if traveling is one of them then you’ll be happy to hear that the airport is an easy 20-minute drive away from Thyme Lifestyle Resort Hervey Bay. This gives you easy access to wherever life wants to take you!
