Excellent B&B with great hosts Richard and Lois. Lovely location a few minutes from the beach and lovely walk into Yeppon. Excellent breakfast which set us up for the day.

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 Lois are friendly but discreet hosts and Lois cooked up a great breakfast - choice of eggs plus bacon and cereals, toast, yoghurt and juice. While Away is on a quiet street just a 2 minute drive from the centre of Yeppoon. There is parking for 4 cars. Don't miss Yeppoon's Bat Exodus, every day at dusk, quite a spectacle yet the locals take it for granted.

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 - but unlike some B&Bs that pride themselves on creative and original breakfasts each morning, these were just standard fare.

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 far from traffic noise and a 2 minute amble onto the beach.

Only 4 rooms so book ahead. We were lucky to pick up a cancellation due to a prevailing low sat over the Queensland coast which might have scuppered others New Year travel plans, but helped us here and in Airlie Beach to get a room!

While Away is perfectly presented, friendly and excellent value. We'll be staying again when traveling through.
