Great place for an over-night stay while heading north or south, just off the highway so good but not much else close by so if you need to be in walking distance not the best location. Clean, friendly staff. recommended.

We stayed two nights and could have easily stayed longer if we didnt already have somewhere else to be. The staff were amazing. There was one lady in particular that went out of her way to help us. Think her name was Tanielle. We will definately be coming back here

Liked: Room comfort
Made uneasy by a drunk unruly guest in a room nearby who was constantly rambling about everything and everyone he layed his eyes on. Not the motel's fault really, just an unfortunate reflection on the clientele it likely attracts.

Would stay again

Very convenient place to stay the night if you are just moving through town on business. It was raining and it was easy to stay dry walking from my room to the onsite restaurant. Room was clean and tidy and the bed is comfortable. Although I did order the crispy skin salmon dish and there was nothing crispy about it.

Easy to find. Great accessible parking onsite. Staff are extremely lovely and go out of their way to help. Lovely little rooms, great for two people. We stayed for 2 nights, and other than hearing a few cars on the gravel in carpark, no other noise, very quiet considering on the main road into Bowen. My 12 yr old absolutely loved the moat out the front of the property
