About

Overview & Vibe

Kellys Beach Resort sits on Trevors Road at Bargara, a two-minute walk from the beach on the Southern Great Barrier Reef coast east of Bundaberg. Ceremony, photography, reception, pre-dinner drinks and the guests' accommodation are all arranged through one weddings coordinator on one property.

Setting & Style

Ceremonies happen on a large lawn in the garden grounds, with a poinciana tree as the centrepiece of the backdrop — room for a quartet, though the resort says the local birdlife does the job too. A pond and creek run through the grounds and take the guests between the ceremony and the reception. The reception moves upstairs to a 155 square metre function room on the second floor, with a balcony over the pond and resort grounds. An al fresco area handles smaller gatherings. Villas, gardens and a pool fill the rest of the site.

Ideal For

Couples wanting a relaxed garden ceremony near the beach with everyone staying on site, at a scale of sixty to eighty rather than hundreds.

The Need-to-Knows

The ceremony lawn seats up to 80. The function room is 155 m² and the current page gives a maximum of 60 — its wedding pack, older, breaks that into 50 for a sit-down dinner, 50 for a buffet and 70 for a cocktail reception.
Self-catering is not permitted. The resort is licensed and states plainly that couples cannot cater their own function.
You organise your own celebrant, music and ceremony decorations.
Menus run from cocktail receptions to three-course sit-down dinners, and the kitchen caters for most dietary requirements on request.
A group accommodation rate applies to bookings of 20 or more when booked and paid as a group.
No current pricing is published — the only wedding pack on the site is titled for the 2022-23 season. See the pricing note.
The beach is a two-minute walk; Mon Repos turtle rookery and the Bundaberg distilleries are close by.

Standout Feature

A poinciana tree over the ceremony lawn, a pond for the drinks in between, and the whole wedding party sleeping on site two minutes from the beach.

On Site Accommodation

Yes - the resort is the accommodation. Villas sit throughout the garden grounds, and the weddings coordinator arranges guest accommodation alongside the ceremony, photography, reception and pre-dinner drinks. A special group rate applies for bookings of 20 or more people when booked and paid for as a group. Rates are handled through the resort's own booking rather than the wedding enquiry.

Price Notes

No current pricing is published. The only wedding document on the site is 'Weddings-22.23.pdf', titled for the 2022-23 season with a /ModDate of 2022-09-16 - nearly four years old at time of harvest, and well beyond the two-year threshold for quoting rates. Its prices are therefore not reproduced. Its structural content is used, because capacities, inclusions and conditions do not go stale. A second linked document, a conference and function accommodation tariff, is older still at 2021-22. Contact the weddings coordinator for current rates.
The structure of the offer, from that pack. The ceremony is held on the large lawn in the garden grounds, seating up to 80 with conditions, with chairs available for hire; couples organise their own celebrant, music and decorations, and the grounds are available for photographs afterwards. The reception is held in the function room, and the fee covers advice and help from the Wedding Co-Ordinator, tables and chairs, linen for tables, a tea and coffee station, cutting and plating of the wedding cake for guests, and use of the venue's bluetooth speaker if required. Pre-reception drinks are served by the pond and creek that run through the resort.
One condition is unusual enough to state plainly: **self catering is not permitted in the function areas**, because the resort is a licensed venue. Menu options run from cocktail receptions through to three-course sit-down dinners, and buffet breakfasts are offered to wedding groups on a minimum of 20 people. A special group accommodation rate applies to bookings of 20 or more people when booked and paid for as a group.
Function facilities listed on the conferences and functions page: a function room with a balcony overlooking the resort grounds, plus an al fresco area for smaller functions; wifi, tea, coffee and water all day, mints and pens; a VGA and HDMI adaptable projector, projector screen, flip chart and white board; and a stereo/bluetooth speaker. A dedicated conference and functions coordinator handles accommodation, meals and activities.
