Serene views of the park and beach, the perfect spot to relax and recharge

Completed in April 2021 Crab Cottages by the Seafront offer two luxurious free standing 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom holiday cottages and one 1 bedroom option.
The neighbourhood is very quiet with the nearest shopping centre and supermarket 1.5 km and the Marina with bars, restaurants, the Hervey Bay Boat Club and major boat ramp about 600 metres distant. Both are close enough yet far enough.
The Hervey Bay Marina is the departure point for nearly all of the Whale Watch and Fraser excursion tours and the famous Urangan Pier is a 25-30 minute very pleasant stroll.
Note there are no shops, restaurants or bars in the immediate vicinity. Several dining options are available at the Marina and Boat Club and there are a number of delivery options.
The property is completely smoke free and wheelchair access is currently unavailable.
All three Crab Cottages feature king beds throughout with the indoor living areas flowing out to very large decks. Those decks feature ceiling fans for the days when the breeze is off the land rather than the prevailing south east.

The Cottages are extremely well appointed throughout including air conditioning and fans and are fenced for your approved pet to enjoy their holiday with you. Each offers a full kitchen and private laundry as well as free Wifi. Please note the wifi can be unreliable in our little corner of the world so if you need it guaranteed best to make your own arrangements.

Complimentary off road boat parking is also available.

The property is professionally landscaped with hundreds of native plants and shrubs adding to the fantastic feel of the property.
The very much under utilised beach is a few steps over a quiet street and a cool, green, shady park a similar few paces. The beach offers leash free hours for your pup of 3pm to 8am (and they love it!) whilst the foreshore trees provide shade around the high tide mark.
At high tide this is a beautiful, safe swimming beach and at low tide the yabbie pumpers have a field day. Fishing and swimming at high tide and walking on the marina breakwater are popular pastimes.

Crab Cooker Cottage - River Heads
If ever a holiday home deserved the title `Gateway to Fraser Island¿ the extensively renovated Crab Cooker Cottage is it.
The cottage offers 3 large bedrooms all with king beds and ensuites, spacious living areas downstairs, several aircon units and an outlook comprising only shades of green and blue.
Passing traffic is minimal and mature shady trees occupy the front of the property.
The Fraser Island Boat ramp and barge lie about 800 metres away and the local shops 400 metres.
Hervey Bay airport and the town itself are 12-20 minutes by car depending which part of town is your destination.
There is plenty of room for your boat or RV to park off road and though your pet is welcome the property is not fenced.
(Please note: Crab Cooker Cottage is located at River Heads approx 15 mins out of Hervey Bay)
There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and an iron/ironing board, and housekeeping is provided on request.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Heavenly cottage but some supply issues
The property is in a beautiful location across from the beach and the hosts were lovely. The yard is a great size and fully fenced, allowing us to relax while our dog enjoyed herself. The cabin itself is beautifully furnished and the shower is the best I've ever had however, there are some issues that need to be resolved considering that we paid over $300 per night. Firstly, the last time we stayed there, we had to ask for wineglasses to be supplied. We also asked for some decent tea cups rather than the huge coffee mugs that were plentiful. We were told there were none available so we purchased some and left them there for the next tea drinkers. Unfortunately, they had disappeared this visit so we had to purchase more - very disappointing. We were also disappointed with the lack of basics provided in the kitchen. We expect to have to take things like salt and pepper when camping, but not when staying in an expensive cabin. It was also missing things such as Gladwrap, Alfoil, a packet of teabags, and additional rubbish bags. We have previously stayed in a beach house in Pialba for half the cost that was stocked with everything one could need and replaced by the last user when something ran out. We recommend implementing this system in the cottage. There were a few other small issues - the shower screen was dirty and there was no water bowl for the dog. There was also only one hairdryer supplied for 2 bathrooms. We have decided to stay elsewhere in future.

Serenity Now!
Mudcrab Cottage overlooking the dog friendly off leash beach was more than we expected, with everything provided in abundance from the kitchen to the laundry, super comfortable furnishings and beds, modern 'everything', and bay breezes enjoyed on the huge accommodating deck. The super green grass and garden were a pleasure for the pooch to play, and we will definitely recommend to friends and family this dog-friendly holiday destination and accommodation.

Perfect cabin beautifully appointed
Beautiful cabin, looking into water. Close to boat launching ramp and boat club. Amazingly spotless clean and well cared for. Great caretaker. We had a little problem with construction noise next door but otherwise an unbeatable place to stay to go boating on Hervey Bay and visit Fraser.
