Oaks Hotels and Resorts, a division of Minor Hotels, has set its sights on Queensland’s Fraser Coast, today announcing its imminent entry to the seaside town of Hervey Bay.

Currently operating as Oceans Resort and Spa Hervey Bay, the property is set to rebrand on 1st August 2018 to Oaks Resort and Spa Hervey Bay under a new agreement, which will see Oaks Hotels and Resorts acquire the hotel management rights.

Minor Hotels Chief Operating Officer – Australia and New Zealand, Craig Hooley, said the company was delighted to add the Resort to its growing portfolio.

“We are thrilled to welcome Oaks Resort and Spa Hervey Bay to our property network. We already have such a strong Queensland presence, with 25 hotels and resorts across the state, and the addition of this property will further reinforce our position in market, while also giving us the opportunity to debut our brand in a new destination,” he said.

Guests will have the choice of one, two and three bedroom suites, plus split level three bedroom penthouses, a selection of which feature an absolute beachfront position and expansive rooftop entertaining decks to soak up the spectacular water views.

Each suite offers the luxury of space, as well as the convenience of self-contained facilities, such as fully equipped kitchens and separate laundries, open-plan living and dining areas, and private balconies overlooking the Resort facilities and ocean.

Spread over six levels, the 130-room property wraps around two central lagoon pools and a timber leisure deck, complete with a children’s play zone, shaded bure-style huts and communal barbequing facilities.

When it comes to keeping fit, guests can choose to workout in the onsite gymnasium, or take advantage of the 19 kilometre-walking and riding track that fringes the Esplanade, offering a bevy of natural spectacles, cafes and restaurants, and boutiques to stop off at along the way.

Home to three versatile function spaces, the Resort also caters to weddings, conferences and events, while those looking to combine their stay with a touch of R&R will relish the onsite day spa, featuring six treatment rooms and an indulgent service menu.
