Thank you Lois and Richard for a great stay....so relaxing, quiet and peaceful, two minutes walk away from one the most beautiful beaches in the world - on the coast in sunny central Queensland. From the first very email I received from Lois and Richard (the very friendly and welcoming hosts of While Away Bed and Breakfast) regarding my request... More

Great bedrooms, great bathrooms, help yourself to tea/coffee and biscuits. Host, Richard, was pleasantly chatty and ready to cook up whatever you wanted for breakfast. Location is out of town - you need a car to drive the few minutes into town but worth that bother as the alternative accomodation options closer to town are not impressive. B&B is 1... More

We only had time to stay here for one night, which was a pity as While Away and Yeppoon itself are little hidden gems. Lois, the host, is so nice and friendly that we didn't have that feeling that we are intruding which we have found is often the case in B & Bs. There was sherry, tea, coffee, cookies... More

We stayed in a Queen room which was compact but very comfortable with air-con, good sized bathroom and tea and coffee making facilities. The B&B is immaculate with excellent shared guest areas including reading & tv lounges, large dining kitchen and a furnished patio. There is complimentary port and sherry, which we enjoyed as a nightcap one night. Richard and... More

Located on a nice quiet street. Some pleasant outside space available for reading, relaxing, drying clothes on a line, etc. Very hospitable and accommodating hosts (new owners) who helped us with sightseeing arrangements and tips. Comfortable room.. Breakfasts were fine - and the hosts went out of their way to provide the types of cereal, tea, etc. that we wanted... More

We stayed just one night on our return travels from Thala Lodge (also fantastic) near Port Douglas to Brisbane. Last minute dive into the friendly mayhem of Yeppoon Tourist Info thankfully directed us to Sharyn and While Away for a perfect B&B experience. 2.4Km out of town but walkable on the flat beach, Sharyn's B&B is on a quiet road...

We stayed at While Away B&B with Sharyn during our tour frrom Cairns to Brisbane whilst we stayed at a number of locations all of which were very good, I feel that Sharyn and the While Away B&B deserved a special mention. The location is about 75 Metres from a deserted beach which covers at least 10K. The B&B was... More
