The 28 apartments are made up of 22 One Bed Room Apartments and 6 Two Bed Room Apartments. With the majority of the complex having One Bedroom Apartments the running of the resort is significantly easier than other properties, with far less people to look after.
Most apartments are currently undergoing a full kitchen and bathroom upgrades and the Body Corporate have approved solar installation for all common power and solar pool pumps as well as a separate 1.5kw solar system for each individual unit.
Located directly opposite Hervey Bay's most popular family friendly beach, and within walking distance of several high quality restaurants, Australis Shelly Bay Resort is considered to be a prime position apartment complex.
As the only beachfront Resort complex in Hervey Bay with an Onsite Restaurant, the ability to provide accommodation & dinner package deals attracts additional business. The Onsite Restaurant is on the ground floor with both Indoor & Outdoor covered Alfresco dining areas and overlooks the large in-ground lagoon style swimming pool. The restaurant is owned and operated by a third party meaning it is not included in this business for sale package, however the restaurant owner works closely with the Resort to benefit both parties. This gives the Resident Managers all the added benefits of having a resort complex with an Onsite Restaurant without the hassle of having to own and operate the restaurant.
Our Website was recently upgraded to incorporate full online booking capability via our own site and this has since seen a dramatic increase in both telephone enquiries and bookings from our own site. These bookings are 100% commission-less meaning the full revenue is attributed to the Management Rights holder. Additionally, the site is now viewable in 66 languages further expanding our global reach. Try it out here now!
A half size tennis court is located at the rear of the complex along with BBQ Facilities providing guests with alternatives to dinning out or cooking on their fully equipped kitchens.
An undercover secure car park with a lift to all levels means guests are not lugging baggage up multiple flights of stairs to get to their rooms. Furthermore, a full afterhours check-in system is in place for those late night arrivals so they need not keep you up at night.
