Shire of Bowen Vacation Packages

No dramas with the hotel at all, it was clean, room was great and the pub and restaurant were good. However, we were told we would have a sea view but what we got was a view of the roof of the pub below. Also couldn’t get anywhere near the restaurant as there was live bands on so every table was reserved, surely the guests should get first refusal?

This property has an amazing view overlooking the ocean. We loved sitting on the patio eating our meals and watching the boats come and go. The property itself is well kept and the pool is pristine! The view from the infinity pool is so amazing. The only negative was that our unit itself is a bit worn. Needs some freshening up esp with the dishes, cutlery, pots and pans. These were old and worn and some dishes had permanent stains on them. The washer and dryer were very handy after a day out snorkeling. The location is on a hill but we thought this was good cardio for us as we go up and down. Grocery market is just down the hill and the main street is also just a few min walk so the location is ideal. There is also a little gym although the lock to the door needs to be fixed as we spent a good few minutes trying to open the door each day. Definitely worth a visit back.

Will definitely stay here again! The ladies (Heather and Michelle) at the front desk were so accommodating and friendly. The apartment was wonderful! Beautiful view, great location and the lorikeets were a fun surprise. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable, great a/c if it matters to you, washer/dryer. Location is perfect (close to town but away from the maddening crowd), zorro’s and Rufus were fantastic restaurants connected to the facility.. trying to figure out when we can return for a month!

Middle unit, directly above the pool. It is meant to be adults only, which is important given the lack of sound proofing. Unfortunately with the lack of sound proofing we could hear everything both in the communal pool area and the unit above and beside. We were lucky the noisy neighbours who chose to swim and carry on in the pool at 6am left the second day. Ironically there are instructions/rules printed and stuck all over the unit, but not restriction on pool hours!? Kitchen is basic, could use an update. Bathroom could also use an update. Bed was ok. Great ocean view, nice pool with a view and sunlounges. I wouldn’t say value for money, but it was nice being away from the noisy Airlie beach for a short stay over.
