We arrived from a tropical town which was very hot and humid. We know Bowen is also very and humid, but we also knew swimming in the ocean was no no, because of the stingers at this time of the year. We were very eager to jump into the motel's gated pool but as we climbed in the water was very hot and uncomfortable due to the sun shining on it all day long..why not invest in large sun sails to cover the pool and also the persons in there,and reduce the sun heating up the water. Otherwise it was flour stay was faultless. Thank you.

Fantastic!

Friendly and helpful service. Was really happy because so many beaches nearby...2 right out our door. Quiet and we'll kept. Much better than Airlie. Bowen has real character. An old movie Theatre and of course the big mango. I highly recommend!

Not a bad cabin good views

It is a little dated but very clean Probably would not use the word executive for the description With the residence /resort flood lights everywhere Probably requires more block out curtains tinting etc Location is very very good To be honest like much accommodation in australia quite a bit over priced for what it is
