Urangan, Hervey Bay
Vila Paus means "Whale Villas" in Indonesian — and, fittingly, also means rest and pause in Swedish. Two self-contained, Balinese-styled villas sit directly on the Urangan Esplanade, just steps from the beach, where guests come to slow down and, in season, go whale watching right from Hervey Bay.
Vila Paus offers premium beachfront accommodation in Hervey Bay with pet-friendly options and direct esplanade access. Escape the feel of a traditional hotel and settle into a private, tropical-styled retreat on the Fraser Coast — whether you're here for a family holiday, a quiet getaway, or the whale season itself.
