What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“My best motel experience. The rooms are perfectly clean and have amenities such as aircon, a pool, a BBQ and internet. The staff are exceptionally friendly, and when I had to stay another night on short notice, they were very compassionate and willing to help me book another night for us. I look forward to coming here again regularly as a holiday”
“Great hotel, 175 per night, pet friendly accommodation on the highway, a little bit noisy with trucks but great value and it’s got a pool room is nice”
“The hotel is well located on the Bruce Highway at Bowen. The room was very large and well set up, with access to the back lawn area. The staff we spoke with were friendly and helpful. Limited pet friendly rooms, so call to ensure availability.”
