Jennifer from Australia (September 21, 2023)
Location, close to beautiful bays, coastal walk and lookouts and food. Very clean, quiet and friendly. Loved the retro holiday vibe.
What could be improved: The bed was a little hard (van cottage) but still managed a decent night’s sleep
Paul from Australia (February 23, 2025)
Location was perfect
What could be improved: N/A.
Dave from Australia (February 17, 2025)
Proximity to beach
What could be improved: Mosquitoes were really bad but can’t be helped.
Ellis from Australia (January 9, 2025)
Breakfast was suitable to.my needs and perfect location for a short walk to the beach.
I would stay here again and also recommend to friends.
What could be improved: I have no complaints about my stay at your facility.
Scout from Australia (November 30, 2024)
Beautiful place, nice to have your own space and some quiet.
What could be improved: Not as much public transport or access to Bowen centre as there could be. Maybe a shuttle every so often?
Jacinta from Australia (October 27, 2024)
Beautiful location and very clean. Having the cafe so close was definitely a bonus.
What could be improved: Unfortunately we were woken at 5:30am by music and noise from the cafe as were the cabins next to us.
Sabrina from Australia (September 9, 2024)
Each unit was private, not facing another unit.
Patricia from Australia (September 3, 2024)
Close to a great little bay, good ‘swimming, snorkelling and exploring rocks’ spot
Prettily painted buildings in different colors help you locate you accommodation and car space
What could be improved: To really search for a complaint-bed a little springy for our liking.
David from Australia (September 1, 2024)
By the beach, walks, cafe and choice of 2 restaurants
What could be improved: Nothing!
Catherine from Australia (September 1, 2024)
Proximity to beach. Nice reading lights.
What could be improved: Parking space for garden view cabins is on what would have been a footpath/nature strip before it was bitumened over. So virtually on the street. There were a few noisy Friday night hooning cars. Next time I'll book a sea view cabin for vehicle security and quiet.
