Kondari Hotel

Hervey Bay / Fraser Coast, Queensland Capacity: Up to 150 From: From $42 p/head

About

Overview & Vibe

Kondari has been Hervey Bay's local since 1982, set on Elizabeth Street at Urangan in lush tropical gardens around a natural lagoon. It won the Brides Choice Award for the Fraser Coast in both 2020 and 2021, and publishes its full function pricing — menus, drinks packages and all — in a current 2026 pack.

Setting & Style

There are three ceremony locations across the grounds, with the lagoon, the gardens and the wildlife doing most of the work; one arbour sits on the lawn right at the water's edge. Two function rooms handle the reception. The Hibiscus Room is the larger, floor-to-ceiling windows and poolside views, private access and amenities, a projector, screen and audio, seating a hundred or holding a hundred and fifty standing. The Pandanus Room is smaller and more characterful — high-set rafters and exposed beams, its own bar and bathrooms, opening onto a sweeping deck over the lagoon, at fifty seated or eighty cocktail. Grassy areas and a deck fill in around them.

Ideal For

Couples who want a tropical garden setting with the whole party staying on site, and who would rather compare published menu prices than wait for a quote.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Hibiscus Room 100 seated / 150 cocktail; Pandanus Room 50 seated / 80 cocktail.
  • Catering is published per head: canapés from $12, alternate drop from $42 for two courses, buffet from $60. Drinks packages are $60 for two hours or $90 for three.
  • Buffet service carries a minimum of 30 people.
  • The bride and groom receive a complimentary night's stay, and all guests get 10% off accommodation.
  • Dietary requirements are catered for and marked through the menus, but the venue states plainly it is not a gluten free kitchen and cannot promise zero cross-contamination.
  • A booking is confirmed only on signed terms and a full deposit; tentative holds last 21 days, and quoted items are payable in full 21 days before the event.
  • The weddings page links a “Wedding Pack” PDF that 404s — the live document is the general functions pack.

Standout Feature

A natural lagoon with its own wildlife running through tropical gardens, and a deck over the water off the reception room.

On Site Accommodation

  • Yes, on the same grounds. Accommodation ranges from affordable family and economy rooms to studio kings, semi-self-contained lakeside rooms and two-bedroom self-contained family rooms, with free wi-fi, on-site parking and a swimming pool. The bride and groom receive a complimentary night's stay, and a 10% discount on accommodation applies to all guests - arranged through the hotel's accommodation manager rather than the function booking.

Price Notes

  • Kondari publishes its full function pricing in a 2026 pack. Canapes are $12 per head for three selections, $18 for five and $25 for eight, with large bites a further $5 per head. Platters each cater to 10-12 people: Traditional $119, Premium $139, Classic $149 each. Alternate drop service comes in two tiers - Gold at $42 for two courses or $52 for three, and Sapphire at $60 for two or $70 for three. Buffet menus are Classic $60 per head or Elegant $75 per head, both with a minimum of 30 people; a children's buffet is $39 per head for ages 4 to 12. A full buffet breakfast is $19 adult and $10 child, served in the bistro daily 7-10am. Tea and coffee is $1.50 per person per day, with biscuits a further $1.00.
  • Beverage packages are $60 per head for two hours - standard tap beer, house red and white, sparkling, soft drink and juice - or $90 per head for three hours, adding all tap beers and selected spirits. The venue notes it can tailor a drinks package and suggests a budget option of a drink on arrival followed by a cash bar.
  • Booking terms are published. A booking is confirmed only on receipt of signed terms and conditions and full deposit payment; tentative bookings are held for 21 days; all quoted items must be paid in full at least 21 days before the event when paid by cash or credit card, and bar tabs settled at the end of the event night.
  • Accommodation is bundled into the offer rather than priced separately for weddings: the bride and groom receive a complimentary night's stay and all guests get a 10% discount on accommodation. NOTE the weddings page links a 'Wedding Pack' at /s/Kondari-Hotel-Wedding-Function-Pack.pdf which returns 404 - the only live document is the general functions pack, so any wedding-specific rates it once held are not currently published.
