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
