The BEST Eco-tourism in Susan River QLD

Welcome to the tranquil surrounds of the Emeraldene Inn & Eco-Lodge, Hervey Bay's eco-friendly accommodation. The Emeraldene Inn & Eco-Lodge is a peaceful and relaxing eco-resort offering modern and impeccably presented motel style accommodation. It is located in the peaceful Pialba region of Hervey Bay, and features 14 rooms set amongst two magnificent acres of natural bushland and landscaped gardens. This family owned and operated motel-resort provides true Australian hospitality with a commitment to ensuring friendly, personalized service and reliable local advice. The Emeraldene Inn features all the facilities you would expect of high calibre accommodation. A huge and inviting 12m pool is set amongst shady trees and surrounded by lush grass and birdlife. The large BBQ and outdoor entertaining area is lit for use all year round, and a guest laundry and extra secure parking for trailers and boats are also available. Fraser Island and Whale Watching Tours are a specialty at the Emeraldene Inn. The tour desk is able to give quality advice and book all tours and attractions, (including Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave Island trips) with complimentary transfers from your accommodation for most. The Emeraldene Inn is close to all the attractions and facilities Hervey Bay has to offer, yet far enough away from the busy Esplanade to feel like your own island Oasis in the Bay - the perfect, relaxing Hervey Bay accommodation for families, travellers and visitors to the Fraser Coast.

Hervey Bay is also the gateway to World Heritage-listed K’gari (formally Fraser Island), and Lady Elliot Island on the southern Great Barrier Reef. It is also uniquely home to the world’s first Whale Heritage Site – the only place where thousands of Humpback Whales stop during their migration between July and October to rest, socialise and play with their calves in the warm shallow waters of Hervey Bay and K’gari. Hervey Bay truly is Australia’s Capital for Whale Watching.
