Pet friendly Hotels Bowen

Clean and comfortable with great kitchenette facilities in room. Shame we were staying in ugly weather because the location and access to beach was great. Older building but well maintained. Short drive to town centre and shops. Over all I’d recommend for anyone seeking a beach side holiday. View from our room would have been great in better weather. We were grateful to be dry and comfortable!

This hotel is right on the highway and I stopped on my way to Rockhampton And I am glad I did The hotel was a good price and very clean A comfortable bed and big rooms And friendly service Good for a quick stop over night Thank you

The sea is on the side, it feels very good, many people drive a car to come here for vacation, there are many facilities in the yard that can supply the RV. Generally worthy of that price

This was a 2nd return with our caravan. We had previously stayed back in 2001. We only want to approx 1 - 2 weeks as we like to travel around QLD rather than stay in one place. After our first visit, we wanted to return each year but, sadly, there were no vacancies. I mentioned this on their social media post and Lo and behold I had a call from the office within a couple of days. (This was in January 2024) and a site was arranged for us to visit for 1 week in August. Great service… Queens Beach Tourist Village is a little gem. I consider it to be one of the best in Bowen. Most of the sites have their own enclosed spots with lovely hedges. There are 2 pools, camp kitchen and BBQ areas. 3 spotlessly clean amenities blocks and beautifully kept grounds. There is a very short walk to the local pub which offer excellent value meals, especially Senior lunches. A short walk to the beach and golf course. If you don’t want to drive into the centre of Bowen, there is a bus stop close to the village. There are cabins as well. I haven’t stayed in one but they look very nice.

The room was nice but does look a bit tired, the bed was comfy, staff were pleasant unfortunately the dining experience was very sub par. The bistro was very basic, I have seen better tables in a servo, I was really shocked that there were no menus, we were expected to use our mobile phone to order, this was an issue as we did not have one, we were directed to a menu at the entrance to pick and told to order at the counter, OK, until I went to order at the counter to be told by a different member of staff that I had to order on line if I wanted to pay by card, I explained that I couldn’t do this to then be told I had to go to a different till to order in this case despite there being a card machine attached to the till in front of me, I went to the sports bar and ordered. The popcorn pork belly starter was nice but was not very popcorn like, expected it to be crunchy, the mains were steak and half a rack of pork ribs, the steak was nicely cooked, the pork ribs were however very disappointing, the half a rack of ribs was very small, in my opinion closer to one eight of a rack, not what was expected at all. The jacket potato with the ribs was luke warm and the sour cream dressing being cold did not help. Over all a disappointing experience, will not be returning any time soon.

The whole experience was awesome. The mattress was a bit bouncy and couldn’t find the expansion fan switch in the bathroom. Apart from that. Everything was spot on. We enjoyed the stay very much. They got Netflix too. It’s so convenient as it’s only 5 minutes drive to Woolworth, shopping centre and anything you can think of. The view was amazing too.
