I've stayed at over 100 different places in the last year, but just last week I stayed at Port Denison Motor Inn. I basically drove as far as I could into the town and there it was, right on the beach next to the jetty which featured in the movie "Australia". I could walk to everything easily and catch a...

DO NOT STOP HERE. it's an old retirement home. Seriously. Ask the motel they will tell you. Shower rooms never been changed since then. Hand rails for the elderly in plentiful. It's full of construction workers who sit drinking outside the rooms. Only plus side is good bar a stones throw away. Spend a fraction more and stop somewhere else.... More

It sounds as though our English guests have had nothing to do one night but remember their stay six months previous at Port Denison Motor Inn. We regret their memories are so dismal. The premises are 12 years old and yes it was previously a retirement villiage. It has been trading as a motel for the last four years. Our... More

We didn't really want to stay in Bowen, but being a bit pushed to cover a more distance on our holiday in North Queensland, we decided to make an overnight stop. We also hadn't booked accommodation, and I was using Trip Advisor to try to make an informed choice before turning up to a few places to see if they... More

Lovely spacious, very clean rooms, helpful and friendly hosts in a beautiful location overlooking the beach. The meal at Grandview was very nice and the breakfast at Food Freaks was great. We would definately stay at this Motor Inn again and will be recommending it to others.

This motel has most of what you need for a nice quiet time in Bowen. Great location and clean and tidy. Another chair outside would have been nice. The only real negative was the lack of free wifi

Stayed in a lovely clean (new?) roomy apartment overlooking the main beach at Bowen. The hosts were very helpful and knowledgeable in recommending a great meal at the Grandview Hotel, which is a very short walk away. Make sure you book ahead - we didn't and were lucky to get the last room. Most other places were also fully booked.... More
