WELCOME TO A NEW MEMBER
We have welcomed Merinda Village Hotel as a new member of Bowen Tourism and Business.
It is a country pub with a 48-room motel with real charm and a laid-back beer garden that begs you to stay for a cold one. Just off the Bruce Highway, they offer comfy, air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a welcoming vibe for travellers passing through, tourists exploring the region, and workforce crews on local projects. They dish up hearty home-style meals and run a drive-through
bottle shop for convenience, with free camping and RV/caravan parking
available for those looking to stop in for a night or two. Whether you need a quick cold beer, a great feed, a comfy bed, or a fully catered stay with heavy vehicle parking, you will find it all.

Travelling through North Queensland with a van? 🚐

Pull into the Merinda Village Hotel at Merinda, near Bowen QLD. Plenty of room for your rig, and everything you need once you’re parked up.

Cold beer, proper pub meals, live music, 48 rooms if you need a bed, and a drive-up bottle shop to restock before you roll out. Oh, and that billboard out front? Yeah, that’s ours. 😏

Honestly we’re a bit biased, so we’ll let the place speak for itself.
But don’t just take our word for it.....
