“Horseshoe Bay Resort wins on location, sitting steps from the sands of one of Australia's top beaches and within walking distance of multiple bays, yet some cabin views may be impacted by the onsite cafe. For families or groups, the self-catering apartments and bungalows are appealing, with a pool, free wifi, and barbecue grills available. It's a relaxed base to explore Bowen and the surrounding natural beauty.”
