    A great little town with great beaches a good marina, a fishing fleet and places near the fleet where you can buy fish and chips and watch the sunset. On the upside, it has a Pizza Hut that you can actually dine in, it has great beaches and a really good lookout where you can go to watch all the rocket launches. Yep, Bowen is the site of Australias first space vehicle launching facility with the fist one due to go up early May 24.. It is also the site of the "outside scenes" of the movie "Australia" go down to the pier and look back at the pub, and you will see the scene where the Japs were bombing Darwin.. Also has a really good n local information place and when we were there, really cheap fuel. So well worth a visit

    The cabins are in a great position on the waterfront, with lovey views out to sea, BUT don't expect to be on the beach, as the only access to the beach is via a ramp, and at high tide there is no beach! Bowen is an interesting little town and there are several eating places not far away and right on the beach.

    Great little ocean town, had the best Chinese ever at Horshoe Bay, great breakfast at the yacht club & loved having a paddle at Horshoe Bay. There was also an ice cream vendor there who sold the most amazing ice cream. Great spot & can't wait to come back

    Bowen is great for a weekend away to relax and unwind, greys bay is great to have paddle in the kayak or SUP. Bowen hotel is a good pub for families with an indoor A/C playground, and other good food venues to pick. Horseshoe bay is a must and the walk is brilliant to.

    Handy location. Comfortable modern unit.

    Handy location. Comfortable modern unit. Only about 50 meters to the nearest bar & restaurant at the Grand View Hotel, where they sold really good meals, & to the shops in the Main Street. A short stroll to the front beach & a pleasant walk to the wharf. Pizza Hut in the Main Street, Cove restaurant at Grays Bay beach provided excellent meals. Rosebay cafe & The Sisters were open for really good breakfasts plus Jochheims pies & Arabon prawns great for lunch. Enjoyed the drive & view up Flagstaff hill plus the Sunday market at Queens beach.

    I was very surprised by Bowen.

    I was very surprised by Bowen. I had no idea it was as incredibly beautiful as it was. The scenery was amazing as was the local streets. It was fantastic to see nil weeds growing on the edges of the roads as you were driving around. Just a tip though, the cafe, Horseshoe Bay Cafe, gave extremely poor service. The staff brought our breakfast out amazingly quickly but we discvovered that there were no forks at our table, just knives. We went to one of the waitstaff and asked for forks and she replied that there wer none. I went to an empty table and took clean forks from there. The breakfast was really nice, but I had finished my bacon and eggs on toast before our coffee arrived, which was ordered at the same time. It was very disappointing.

    This is the best holiday park we've stayed in while in Queensland. From the moment we arrived and were met with friendly reception staff everything was great. We had a very nice cabin for two people. It had everything we wanted, including a comfortable bed. The bathroom was bigger than the ones usually encountered in cabins. The park itself was busy as it was school holidays but it was clean, quiet and tidy. Security seemed good and we'd have no problem returning here on any future visits to Bowen.

    Love the beachfront. Sat outside and watched the sunset every night. Took the stand up paddle board out right infront of our cabin. Kids played on the beautiful grass area out front with other guests while I read a book and watched the water. Big park area next door was great for kids to ride play football and the markets were there on Sunday. Laundry was great and the staff so friendly. We will stay there again if we make it back to Bowen.

    We were very happy with Bowen Holiday Park. At the beginning we booked for 1 night only with our cat while travelling North and we were impressed by the great value of money as well as the clean and renovated cabins. We had such a great experience that we decided to stay more nights on our way back. Very friendly staff Gabriel and Bec. Bowen is also a great location with beautiful beaches. Would visit again Bowen Holiday Park

    Coral Cove Apartments were nice and central to all the action happening in Bowen for the event we came here for. The managers, Pat and Kate were so welcoming and friendly that they made you feel so relaxed and that anything you asked them was not a bother. I would definately come back to stay there and would definately be telling my friends to stay there as well.

    Beautiful beach style unit. It was super clean and the bed was so comfortable. It’s in an excellent location too with only a short walk to the beach or a 4 minute drive to the beautiful horseshoe bay. We really liked the contactless check in and check out too. Excellent value for money, the only problem was we didn’t stay for longer!

    The location was perfect overlooking the ocean but only a short walk to bars and restaurants.. The room was a good size, with all the facilities we needed and was spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were quite impressed with Bowen and if we return we would definitely stay here again and for longer.

    Beautiful outlook across the ocean from our beach front cabin. This park is very professionally managed and very well maintained, the staff were friendly and helpful. Our cabin was very clean and comfortable. I also liked the location as there is a beautiful walk to Horseshoe Bay from this park.

    Horseshoe Bay Resort is a hidden treasure on the Queensland coast. It's like those caravan parks of the 1980's, you can sit outside your cabin or caravan, the kids play with kids from nearby sites, the pizza at the Cafe nearby is fabulous and the view from the lookout absolutely superb.
