We wanted somewhere close to the Bowen hospital where my wife was to have a tube down her nose for 24 hrs. It was close to the hospital and the room was fine. It smelled a little damp, nothing serious as the weather was humid. The bed was a bit soft for my back but otherwise fine. A compact kettle in the room would have been a nice touch if you want to have coffee in private. I enjoyed the muesli and home grown fruit for breakfast and there is a great fish and chip shop at the top of Oban St. Plenty of books to read and a short drive into the CBD. The hosts are very friendly and we enjoyed going to the local beaches.
