Bowen is a beautiful place and the Motel, not only was it a great location just accross from the water, it was also walking distance to the pub which offered fantastic live music and a delicious meal. The very friendly staff gave us a book with directions to the amazing sights such as horseshoe bay, rose bay and flagstone lookout - well worth the drive around to these amazing locations - we had a wonderful time and would have liked to stay longer to explore these areas. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arose.

There was nothing not to like about this Motel

A very clean, quiet and well managed motel. Excellent customer service. Staff members were understanding and promptly responded, (see below) to requests in a very positive, helpful and efficient manner. Shops, including a supermarket are just a short walk, (approx. a 10 minute stroll) from the property. An attractive and well maintained oceanside park and a pier are just across the road. The ocean and the park could both be viewed from my room. The small kitchenette was well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the rooms, (bedroom and living room) were well furnished. Good WiFi. Special Note: Had my stay not been disturbed, (see negative comments) by the inconsiderate / anti-social actions of a few other guests, I would have given this motel a better review score.

1. No smoking policy should be more strictly enforced - The smell of cigarette smoke from people smoking outside an adjacent room was very unpleasant. I brought this to the attention of staff who promptly and satisfactorily dealt with the issue. Note: I would suggest that guests be told that smoking anywhere, (not just inside the rooms) on the property is not permitted. 2. Noise from other guests - Some other guests, (some who were apparently quite intoxicated) caused a disturbance, (loud voices, banging doors and foul language) during my stay which greatly disturbed me. I brought this to the attention of staff who promptly and satisfactorily dealt with the issue. Note: I would suggest that guests be reminded at check in that creating such disturbances is not permitted.

Very quiet no road noise at all very close to town 1 minute Restaurants close by we’re very well priced receptions staff recommendations were correct. Its wonderful to have a seperate lounge tv had you tube nice to see kitchenette well equiped sound proofed pretty well from units next door car park spaces good width

Shower head bit too low n too small spray head. Couldn’t find anything else wrong

Room was very clean.

Bed was uncomfortable, made worse by the fitting of a plastic cover under the sheet, which made crunching noises every time we moved. Exhaust fan in bathroom did not work. No air-conditioning in lounge/kitchen area, so when my partner went to bed, a few hours earlier than me, and had the bedroom door closed, it got very warm in the lounge area, despite having the ceiling fan on high (it was summer in tropical north Queensland).

Very central location, close to Super IGA supermarket and this allowed us to purchase our dinner to keep costs down on our travel. The room has a microwave Fridge and sufficient crockery, cutlery for two people.

The bed could have been better in our opinion, it was a little to hard for our liking but we did get a good sleep because it was so quiet there.

Close to the beaches. Beds were comfy. Huge rooms with kitchen and separate living room. Loved the space. Staff were so friendly. Undercover parking was high enough for our Ute and swags on top.

Bathrooms. They are nice and new but the shower doesn’t have a rim so water spills out around toilet area wetting all the floor.

Friendly and welcoming staff, excellent room with ocean view and a separate sitting room. Hotel within walking distance to pubs and shops. A great quiet alternative place to stay to visit the Whitsundays. Enjoyed it very much, would stay there again.

Short walk to the foreshore. Could see it from the room. Separate living and bedroom.

I was told it was built as a nursing home so they all have walk in shower- no hob. The gradient of the fall of the floor sends water away from the shower waste to the large drain in the middle of the bathroom. The slope is very very slippery when wet, so dangerous going to the toilet unless you hold onto the vanity or towel rail (which is not grabrail rated). Flooring needs its anti slip treatment renewed. In its current condition I would not recommend the bathroom for elderly people with mobility issues.

Great location, very clean

Can be a bit noisy but to be expected with lots of kids around. Bathrooms are an all in affair with no separate shower (non slip flooring) so the floor is wet most of the time. Not a big deal but go to bed aware of if unsteady on your feet.

I traveled for work and after a massive drive the wonderful staff allowed me to check in early. The staff go above and beyond for you during your stay. The room was better than expected and the bed was very comfortable.
