Australia’s furnishing industry is a major economic force — contributing AUD 27.4 billion annually and directly employing over 250,000 people.
In Hervey Bay, this robust industry finds local expression through a variety of stores that cater to different tastes, styles, and budgets.
Whether you’re furnishing your first home or giving your space a refresh, here are seven standout furniture stores in Hervey Bay worth exploring.
1. Eureka Furniture
Among the most popular options for anyone searching for a furniture store in Hervey Bay, Eureka Furniture stands out for its blend of value and design. Located at Shop 4, SPG Centre, 200 Boat Harbour Drive in Pialba, this retailer showcases a beautiful selection of living, dining, bedroom, and outdoor pieces inspired by contemporary coastal design. Offering mid-range prices and reliable quality, Eureka Furniture appeals to homeowners who want to elevate their spaces without stretching their budget.
2. Amart Hervey Bay
Located at Tenancy 4, 179 Boat Harbour Drive, Pialba, Amart is known for combining style and affordability. Their showroom includes lounges, bedroom sets, outdoor furniture, and more. Because they’re a larger chain, they often run promotions and clearance sales that can bring prices down further.
3. Harvey Norman Hervey Bay
Harvey Norman is a national retail giant, but the Hervey Bay branch still offers a local flavour. Their range covers living, dining, bedroom, and outdoor furniture, plus mattresses and homewares. Because of their scale, you can often score deals or bundled offers that smaller shops might not match.
4. Early Settler Hervey Bay
For those who want furniture with personality and coastal charm, Early Settler is a strong pick. They carry curated outdoor settings, indoor pieces, and homewares to suit a relaxed Queensland lifestyle. Delivery to Hervey Bay and surrounding areas is usually available.
5. Fraser Coast Furniture
If you’re budget-conscious but still want decent quality, Fraser Coast Furniture positions itself as a discount/warehouse-style option. They specialize in beds, bedroom suites, and a selection of general furniture at lower price points. Great for setting up a full home without overspending.
6. Betta Home Living (Hervey Bay)
Betta Home Living has a Hervey Bay branch that’s known locally for furniture, bedding, and home goods. They provide a mix of value and reliability, with staff on hand to assist with selections.
7. Dick Elmer’s Furniture Superstore
Serving the broader Fraser Coast region (including Hervey Bay), Dick Elmer’s is a long-standing family-run furniture retailer. They stock a large variety of furniture and bedding, often with immediate delivery for local customers. Because they maintain sizable inventory, you may find better deals on available stock rather than waiting on custom orders.
Tips for Shopping Smart in Hervey Bay
- Inspect delivery costs closely. A seemingly low price can balloon once freight is added, especially if the store sources furniture from outside the region.
- Check stock & availability. Some stores (especially warehouse or outlet types) sell from what’s on hand, so call ahead to ensure your desired item is in stock.
- Look out for clearance and end-of-line sales. Big stores like Amart and Harvey Norman often clear out showrooms or older range lines at steep discounts.
- Ask about warranties and construction. Even on more affordable pieces, check the joinery, materials, and any offered guarantees.
- Mix and match. You don’t need everything from one store. Pair a standout piece from Eureka with budget buys from Fraser Coast Furniture or Dick Elmer’s.
Whether your budget is tight or generous, Hervey Bay offers furniture stores across the spectrum. From the mid-range elegance of Eureka Furniture to the discount value of Fraser Coast Furniture and Dick Elmer’s, you have real choices.
Happy furnishing — and if you like, I can also map these stores or suggest how to pick styles that suit the coastal ambiance.
