Our fun weekend at Kellys Beach Resort, Bargara

Thanks to the amazing people at Kellys Beach Resort Baraga, we were treated to a fun family weekend away.

With the end of year approaching this was perfect timing for our family! The kids have been so tired after school each day we've been counting down the days to this adventure! Getting away from our everyday was just what we needed!  

If you've been thinking about a weekend escape Kellys has everything you need, all in the one beautiful location. Not to mention the amazing local experiences available within Bargara and greater Bundaberg region.

Animal Encounters

Toads, lizards, bugs and spiders! Our WBKs absolutely loved seeking out all the big and little critters that call Kelly's Beach Resort home.  

The Eco-Certified resort is located a block back from the beach on 5.5 acres of gardens and is home to many friendly animals. We spotted plenty of lizards, lots of tiny baby toads, beautiful butterflies and plenty of friendly birds.

We did lots of walking around the grounds searching for different animals. We ventured off the paths too, stomping through puddles looking for interesting creatures.

With plenty of shady pathways winding throughout the resort, our WBKs had lots of fun scooting around the paths.  

The resort is a quick walk to the beach, on a mostly sealed pathway. Once on the esplanade you can walk, scoot or ride right the way to the Skate Bowl at Nielsons Beach (almost 8km round trip). If you don't have room to bring your own bike, they are available for hire at the resort. 

Swimming

The swimming pool area is set up perfectly for families catering for children of different ages and swimming abilities. The 'beached' children's pool is ideal for little kids, perfect for wading in shallow water.

Our WBK's enjoyed using the shallow water to practice their handstands and also enjoyed the larger pool for pool games and swimming laps. Kellys Beach South is a short 5 minute walk from the resort. The closest patrolled beach (Kellys Beach)  is located a little further along the esplanade.

Tennis

Never having played a game of tennis certainly made for an interesting time for our WBKs.

Lots of laughs (and a few tears) and two missing balls later, we abandoned ship and voted to hit the pool. The court, rackets and balls are available to hire from the resort.

Games Room!

A hit with our WBKs! The two arcade games, air hockey table and pool table are neatly located just beside the pool and sauna area. How convenient!

​Table equipment and change available from resort reception.

​Between November and late March you can join a Ranger guided tour to see nesting sea turtles (November - January) or baby turtle hatchlings (January - March). &n
