Negative experience: Spoke to a lovely lady from the Visitor Centre on the phone yesterday who said I could come down with a water container that she would fill with drinking water for me, however when I arrived, the male and female working did not want to help me. I explained that I'd come down specifically for water after being told the day before that I could but they flat out refused and were very unsympathetic. I'd also bought along my recyclables as when I visited Yeppoon last year I remembered there being bins out the front that people were encouraged to use - they did not allow me to use these either. A very disappointing experience as a result of the staff who did not seem at all suited to a role working with people.

Positive experience: Nice looking place but the only thing is that it was raining and they still had the automatic sprinklers on and they spun out onto the walkway and drenched my wife not happy.

Hi Geoff, I am so sorry that you and your wife got wet! There was a glitch with the automatic sprinkler system, we were as shocked as you that they turned on. We did contact council straight away and got them turned off. It was a little bit of bad luck you turned up in that hour. I hope you had a wonderful holiday in our beautiful town even with a little bit of rain.

Elin 1 year ago

Positive experience: Staff were super friendly and helpful. They let us hide from the rain in the centre! They were able to answer all the questions we had and give us some recommendations The leaflets were well organised into different locations around yeppoon and there was a board with local events coming up. There were some nice yeppoon tourist gifts available as well!
