Hi, we’re Monica & Dan
A finance professional and builder who share a passion for property, travel, outdoor living, and creating welcoming spaces where guests can slow down and experience the best of Hervey Bay's relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Having spent our careers helping people build their homes, businesses and futures, we wanted to create a place where people could simply pause, reconnect and enjoy the beauty of this special part of the world. 545 Esplanade Hervey Bay reflects our shared appreciation for thoughtful design, genuine hospitality, and the simple luxury of having nowhere else to be.
Overlooking the sparkling waters of the Esplanade and blessed with Hervey Bay's enviable year-round climate, this is a place designed for exhale moments — where mornings begin a little slower, afternoons stretch a little longer, and everyday pressures feel a world away.
To us, luxury is comfort, ease and atmosphere, a stay that feels effortless, restorative and genuinely welcoming. We're always happy to share our favourite local cafés, restaurants, experiences and hidden gems to help you make the most of your time here.
Arrive, breathe out, and settle in, you're in good hands.

A lovely peaceful accommodation to stay at. Very clean and tidy. A lovely welcome note. The owners were very welcoming. Cafes/restaurants were close by either walking or driving. Supermarket was a very close 5 minute drive. Beach across the road, what more could you ask for.

Beautiful holiday apartment in Hervey Bay Beautifully furnished holiday apartment. It feels like home…I had the app. 3 with a direct view of the ocean. However, due to its location directly on the Esplanade, it can be a bit noisy in the evenings… but you can see the sunset in the evening and the sunrise in the morning… But it was quiet at night. The bed was great and had a thicker blanket, which was good because it was quite chilly… The living room with kitchen is a separate room and everything you need is available there as well. There is a washing machine available for use in the bathroom. I was able to check in earlier, which was great. There is no reception desk - everything is done via email.

Clean comfortable apartment, well equipped to be able to cook meals if you wish, good location to be able to walk to the beach, main pier or Woolworths, whatever you choose to do. Good, easy parking.

Could not fault the place at all, it exceeded our expectations. Spacious, clean and thoughtfully provisioned. Fantastic location, fantastic value for money. An easy stay and great communication from “Team 545” - thank you for everything!

A perfect stay in a beautiful part of QLD, we've found our happy place, we'll be back! The cottage was one of the best we've stayed in, very clean and well set up. The extras like cereals, milk, chocolates were very appreciated. Kitchen well equipped, beach towels a bonus. Parking easy. Location perfect. A quick walk across the road to sit by the water with our cup of tea each morning was a highlight.

A neat little cottage, safe parking , away from the street noise, close to restaurants. Perfect !
All the little extras were great- chocolate, coffee, toast toppers, glad wrap and condiments all make a big difference. Hosts were friendly and helpful.

Close to the water and a lovely unit to stay in.
The location was close to the water and a short drive to shops and restaurants. Very clean and spacious and a car park off road for the vehicle. The garden was lovely and there was a place in the garden to sit and enjoy a glass of bubbles. Leah, Australia
Perfect location as a base for exploring k’gari. Off street parking, lovely unit, washing machine to use and really comfortable.
The little touches, breakfast cereal in the cupboard, book to read, beach towels to use, washing liquid for the washing machine. Was everything you needed and more. It was perfect. Great attention to detail from the owners.
