The Port Denison Motor Inn is located across from Bowen's magnificent foreshore. With panoramic harbour views of the Whitsundays and a relaxing atmosphere, it's the perfect location for a quiet getaway. Enjoy stunning garden and ocean views. Go for an afternoon stroll along the beach, throw in a fishing line off the jetty or just enjoy the view from right outside your room.

Bowen is located on the Whitsunday Coast halfway between Townsville and Mackay and just an easy 40 minute drive to Airlie Beach, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. If you are looking for some ideas about what to do during your stay, just ask us at reception. We look forward to you staying with us.

Manager Anita - EXTREMELY RUDE.
Not welcoming at all.
Rooms are run down, motel use to be retirement village.
Expensive to stay for what it is.
Stayed elsewhere were the owners were accomodating, friendly and more than helpful.

Sadly this place really needs to improve, it is tired and dated and well in need of renovations amd some money spent bringing it up to date. The bathroom vanities are all rotting away and there was damage to the basin. I have a feeling that it used to be a retirement home that turned into a motel. Sorry but you can't have shower curtains any more, it's not the 70s, they are putrid. Beds were very uncomfortable and linen looked and felt 50 years old. To charge nearly $140 a night and not even have a couple of bottles of water in the fridge is embarrassing. Would look elsewhere next time. A decent

Stayed at this modern motor inn whilst visiting Bowen. Rooms were clean and well kept. Nice garden area and views over the ocean . Lots of walking nearby and close to shops. Service at reception was first class, easy communication and also pre booked dinner for us at the Grand View Hotel , which is a must if dining there , which you definitely should.

Gratefully accepted an upgrade to Executive ocean view room.
Large well appointed room with a view to the Catalina memorial.
The only criticism was the car parking was not near the room.
Reception staff were extremely helpful.
We will stay here again when in Bowen

Rooms always very clean and well maintained. Have stayed many times over the past five years and always get a warm welcome. The units have everything you would need including small kitchen with microwave, parking easy and one minute from esplanade and three minutes from town. Best motel in Bowen.
