Hi, Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our motel. We will take on board your comments about the toiletries and bikkies. It is always a balancing act between maintaining value for money and providing the extra little luxuries. I would like to clarify though that the wotif price is the same at $121 for 2... More

We stayed at this hotel to break our trip. It's old but extremely clean. My child enjoyed the pool while we sat in the cool breeze outside our units drinking in the view and beer! The food we ordered was fresh and delicious. There was a bit of road noise due to being right on the highway but I turned... More

Bit noisy with vehicles - (trucks exhaust brakes) from nearby highway but we stayed in winter and didnt need air cond on so in warmer months with air cond running it would cancel out... More

Good, clean, comfortable motel on the highway like they used to be. Park the car and don't plan on going anywhere unless you want to drive. The room was clean and plenty of room for 2. The outlook over the ocean towards Bowen would have been great except for the weather on the night we stayed. We took our own... More

We travel regularly between Cairns and Sydney at least five times a year and stay at numerous Motels along the way. Bowen is a natural stop off point being a good days drive from Cairns. The Motel is small and situated South of the town on the highway.Above all else it's the elevated view of the bay that sets it... More

All the rooms face the pool, above which you can catch glimpses of an island and water view. Rooms include cable tv. Entrance is on a bit of... More
