What Our Guests Have Said

I have stayed multiple times at the Woolshed and think it's one of the best accommodation places I have ever stayed in. The lovely couple who run it are always helpful and accommodating and full of suggestions for things to do in the area and tours to book on to. The Woolshed itself has a bohemian feel, with bright spacious rooms and clean facilities. The garden in the middle is a little oasis of tropical plants and a pond with green tree frogs chirping at night. The garden comes with a BBQ area and hammocks! There is a good kitchen with clean utensils for preparing meals too. If you're coming to Hervey Bay I highly recommend staying at Woolshed Eco Lodge

The staff seemed super friendly and helpful.
Met some cool people here which helped but all in all a quality place to stay and would strongly recommend.

From travelling the east coast, the Woolshed has definitely been the nicest place to stay. Everything is very chilled out, yet everything is spotless. The two showers are large and clean plus the kitchen is super tidy - the family atmosphere and warm welcome is fantastic. So much nicer than staying in traditional accommodation!

Comfortable room and quality facilities, friendly staff and a good atmosphere in general. Good kitchen and lounge, TV and fridge in the double rooms with ensuite bathroom. Clean and tidy. The proprietors are nice and it’s worth a visit. If you don’t have a proper 4WD then consider taking their tours.

Great ambience and comfortable rooms. Parking space inside. Close to beach and nearby Great accommodation! Lovely chilled place with nice clean facilities. Friendly and helpful staff - we booked our tour to Fraser Island with them and they were great. Perfect distance for the beach (5 minute walk!) and some nice restaurants and bars with live entertainment. A great place with lovely character, would definitely recommend! food places

Really loved my stay here. The Woolshed had a lovely kitchen area and lots of greenness, hammocks and plants in the courtyard. Plus the owner is a genuine and lovely man! Perfect for a relaxed few days.

One of the most beautiful accommodation places I have ever been. A cosy place with a great location and excellent customer service. Friendly staff, and very clean rooms, bathrooms and kitchen. Loved their garden and the whole environment

If you are looking for calm and serenity, you must stop at Woolshed Eco Lodge! Beautiful and clean place with a very good atmosphere. The Woolshed is a good place near the beach and restaurants.
