Waterfront Restaurant Hervey Bay

Hervey Bay / Fraser Coast, Queensland

About

Overview & Vibe

The Waterfront Restaurant stands on the beach at Dayman Park, Urangan, at the eastern end of Hervey Bay looking across to K'gari. Its own description is the selling point and is literal: the building is “submersed in the ocean during high tide and sits on the beach at low tide.” There is no closer waterfront venue on this coast.

Setting & Style

A single large function room with windows down the water side, dressed with draped ceilings, fairy lights and long or round tables. Ceremonies happen on the sand directly outside — white chairs and an arbour set on the beach — or on the lawn in the adjoining park. Uninterrupted views over the bay to the world-heritage island.

Ideal For

Couples who want the water itself rather than a view of it, and elopements — the venue leads with a package built for two.

The Need-to-Knows

  • An in-house wedding planner runs the day. The venue markets its planner as part of the package rather than a supplier you bring, and packages can be tailored.
  • Treat the figure as indicative and confirm on enquiry.
  • No guest capacity is published anywhere on the site.
  • Getting there: the venue is 300 km north of Brisbane with direct flights into Hervey Bay, and it pitches itself squarely as a destination-wedding location.
  • It is a trading restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, so a wedding is arranged around normal service.

Standout Feature

A restaurant the sea comes up to — on the sand at low tide, in the water at high — with K'gari on the horizon.

Price Notes

  • One figure is published and it carries a dating problem: "Waterfront Weddings are affordable for all and start from $1200.00 for our all exclusive Simply Elope Package." That is the only price given — there is no per-head rate, reception package price, venue hire fee or minimum spend — so confirm it still stands.
  • The $1,200 figure is an elopement package total rather than a per-person rate. The wording it comes from dates to around 2014, so treat it as indicative and confirm the current price when you enquire.
  • What is offered around it: 'The Venue - The Waterfront Restaurant & 2014 Queensland's Number One Wedding Planner Natalie Stone has created the ultimate dream wedding package as well as being able to tailor your own package to suit your style, taste and budget. This package includes the best suppliers from across the region.' An in-house wedding planner is therefore part of the offering rather than a supplier the couple brings.
  • It is pitched as a destination venue: 'Just 300 Km North of Brisbane and with daily direct flights from Sydney this venue has become a popular & Romantic destination location.' Separate pages cover wedding decorations and function meals, appetisers and in-house dessert cakes, none of them priced.
  • It is also a trading restaurant with published breakfast and lunch menus and online reservations, so a wedding is arranged around normal service.
