Classic 1960's motel with views! An original gem, very well kept. I hope they never change it. It's a North Queensland icon. It's out of town but very handy if you're staying enroute to somewhere else.

Nice and clean despite being old. Well maintained, looks a bit messy around the office, but does not matter for the comfort of the guests. Nice pool as well. A nice Fish take away 4 minutes drive towards Bowen, great.
