havens
Driving through Hydeaway Bay your self drive tour takes you to the Cape Gloucester Eco Resort... a small community of three one room cabins; three 2-bedroom cabins; and 4 adjoining "motel style" units. All accommodation is in close proximity to the beach and pool. All units are well fitted out, completely self-contained and air-conditioned.
Bowen enjoys Australia’s best climate. Famous
for its mangoes and a bounty of produce from the sea and
the
land. With a collection of scenic bays with sandy beaches,
fringing reefs for diving and snorkel tours and picnic
facilities makes this an ideal tropical beach haven.
Stroll through the town where the 24 murals tell a colourful
story of Bowen’s history.
