We were greeted by a lovely lady who was very friendly, even gave us beach towels to use prior to check-in. We came to snorkel and were thrilled with the easy walk to horseshoe Bay... In full kit. We saw two types of rays and numerous fish and coral. Also snorkeled directly in front of property where we saw a turtle in the late afternoon. Excellent location, nice private rooms.

We arrived from a tropical town which was very hot and humid. We know Bowen is also very and humid, but we also knew swimming in the ocean was no no, because of the stingers at this time of the year. We were very eager to jump into the motel's gated pool but as we climbed in the water was very hot and uncomfortable due to the sun shining on it all day long..why not invest in large sun sails to cover the pool and also the persons in there,and reduce the sun heating up the water. Otherwise it was flour stay was faultless. Thank you.
