This motel was the 12th on our Australian holiday and my journal records "poorest motel so far". The room was really gloomy and outdated although clean. The dining room was closed and we were told when we checked in that breakfast would not be a full menu because the staff had been given the day off. Breakfast was a poor... More

We were travelling with intentions of staying in Airlie Beach - no rooms available anywhere. Went on to Bowen and found this little gem. The management staff were superb and could not do enough for us even though they were unwell. The restaurant provided good food and friendly professional staff catered well for a tired 7 year old. The rooms... More

Perfect for a stop over. Motel is very cute with its castle theme. Ask to check out the authentic chastity belt in the restaurant... Omg... So glad its 2012! The adorable managers and restaurant staff also offer very good service and food in the on-site restaurant. Good size room with ample parking space. Room was very clean even if the... More

This place is absolutely adorable. Bowen is such a magical place- and this tiny little motor lodge is the perfect place to stay! If you're after 5 star luxury (that admittedly I'm accoustemed to)- then firstly, stay away from Bowen and secondly- you'll hate this place. If howeve you can let your standards drop just a tad & get in... More

Below-average value ($120) but this is probably due to the fact that there are a number of constructions projects currently happening in the region, this pushes prices up. The motel was fully...

We stayed in this lodge in our last trip to Australia. Bowen was not in our plans, but we had a little car accident near the city around 8.00 PM (beware about the road flood in this area), and although the damages, we drove to this lodge to spend the night (because Hertz didn´t rescue us, but it´s another history)....

Easy access from the Bruce Highway perfect location set off the main road and oh so quiet. Restaurant food is delicious (and I like fine dining!) and they do deliver to your room. The most friendly staff at reception (who double up as staff in the restaurant/bar).. and 100meg of free wifi. Handy! Double brick walls so no snoring neighbours... More
