Ideal location for feeding Dolphins

We booked an Accessible room for one night on our week long road trip from Brisbane to Airlie Beach. The room was exactly what we expected and ideal for one night, which enabled us to explore the sleepy towns of Rainbow Beach and Tin Can Bay. The highlight of our trip was feeding the Dolphins in Tin Can Bay.

Love this place

This is always our "go to" in Tin Can Bay - central to everything - self contained - clean and tidy. The service from the staff is always top notch. The outside of the buildings are mouldy but inside is fine. The only disappointing thing is the old pub next door. Such a shame that it is so run down and dirty - it could be a real draw card for tourists and locals alike.
