I've lived in River heads for almost 2 years, moved up from Brisbane and bought a section in River heads, then a house right next door. I don't think I could live anywhere else tbh.
My partner and I came up for a look at Hervey bay in 2021 and stumbled upon River heads by mistake, (my partner wanted to see if there was a boat ramp near by) and as we ventured over the hill, I saw water on each side of the peninsula... That was it, I went straight to the river heads real estate, 3 months later we had bought here!! Absolutely no regrets!!!!

Made the big move up 6 months later and my father bought the place next door, he's moving up next month, from North lakes.

I feel like we live in Beverly Hills at times, everything's so beautiful, no midge problem here, but crazy at the boat ramp, dusk and dawn! We got severely attacked once when we launched the boat at 5am! Now we know to load up on repellent.

We were so worried about the midges after we bought and read some of these reviews, but so far so good! It honestly doesn't deserve the bad wrap, from where I'm standing anyway... Tbh, I get attacked more when I go to my son's place in Brisbane, by mosquitoes..
Anyway, everyone seems friendly but we all seem to stick to ourselves, beautiful homes, everyone takes care of their lawns here in turtle cove!
Great value and the view is sensational, from the sun rising over K'gari and the sea in the morning to the incredible sunsets at the back of the house..
I feel like I've found my happy place... Honestly, am absolute jewel.
The only thing people may struggle with is the public transport, as we have none. But there's buses for the schools.
