Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Robyn B wrote a review Jan 2020

I’m staying here for work thus far. The owners are a lovely couple, their motel is reasonably priced, modern, comfortable, very clean, with quality linen, particularly like the comfortable bed and aircon. When I opened the door the room smelt fresh, very clean. No yucky smells, even the air con air fresh,. When you walk into the bathroom the shower cubicle glass smudge free and spotlessly clean. I researched all the accommodation (not cheap) in the area so I chose & phoned and spoke to the owner. I must say some of my work colleagues commented that it’s expensive to rent in Bowen. I am glad I found The Bowen Arrow Motel. They have a meal menu reasonably priced,quality food which they prepare. Anything is not too much trouble for the owners who will endeavour to serve their guests and accommodate reasonable requests without too much fuss. My first night I was supposed to be in my room for my 7pm meal but I had to go to the supermarket, I got a text message in my absence and upon my return at 715pm I apologised emphatically. They deliver the meal to your room and come back to collect however I return my tray to their kitchen. Location is proximal to the highway, not far to town, there is a service station just near. My boss asked where I was staying and I told him the wrong name I said the blue arrow and his response was Rob it’s The Bowen Arrow Motel, me and my dry sense of humour ‘bow & arrow. My connection with ‘Arrow’ is one of my late Uncle & Aunt’s surname. This is my little secret hideaway.. quiet too. 👍😜

Hard to believe it's right on the Highway. Getting a good night's sleep is easy. The guest parking spaces are a refreshing change, too - wide enough for family vehicles and well covered from the weather.

Good motel right on the highway plenty of room for trailer parking and dog friendly.
Fantastic grass area outside of room to allow our little dog to have a stretch.
Very easy to access for travellers.
There is a cost of $10 per night extra for the dog.

We stayed here for four days. The room had been overbooked by an external source and we thought we would be stranded, the owner however went out of his way to reorganise rooms and rang me himself to tell me all was good and we could stay. The rooms were extremely clean and beautifully presented. Would definitely recommend this motel to anyone travelling to Bowen

This motel is as honest as it gets, it’s older in age but that definitely doesn’t make it no good, it’s on a highway but that doesn’t make it no good, it’s basic but that doesn’t make it no good. In fact there’s nothing that makes it no good.
It is fresh, clean, well laid out, easy access, cool with a nice breeze & warm with sufficient aircon. Not cramped for space, comfortable beds, all amenities req like kettle, toaster, soaps, towels etc. the staff are very friendly and honest.
It was a surprise just how it is. After staying around the country in expensive hotels it was so good to see this. If you like flashy art works, glass sculptures and all the s hit & glitter you can find this isn’t for you. If your looking for something clean, easy, quite and friendly definitely check it out.

Room Tip: Go 200 metres to the truck stop to buy meals, insane value. Great fresh food. Walking distance.

Such a pleasant surprise !
Spacious, clean room, even the windows were clean !!!!!
Lovely, serene green view out the back decent sized pool out the front.
Karen , managing this motel, could not have been more helpful and accommodating.
Traffic on main road an issue for me, light sleeper, my husband didn't hear a thing. Ear plugs came in handy but over all I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
It will be terrific when their new signage is erected. Bowen Arrow to Birch Motel.

Big, clean and comfy room. Big windows at the back of the room that allows the breeze to blow through. After a 650Klm drive a nice hot shower and a comfy bed was just what I needed.

I would recommend it to anyone passing through Bowen. 5 stars from me.

We stopped for one night whilst driving south for Xmas holidays. The motel is very clean with lovely decor, tiled floors (perfect for our pet dog to stay with us) and all the modern amenities you could want.
Very comfortable and excellent value for money. We look forward to staying again on our return trip. Highly recommend this accommodation.

As a regular traveller between Brisbane to Cairns the Bowen Arrow would have to be the most comfortable sleepover until the next leg of a big drive the next day. The staff know their customer well particularly the ones who look like they need a restful night. They are welcoming, very pleasant and go out of their way to provide any assistance, meals and road information if needed. The rooms are comfortable, clean and the right price, probably one of the best value motels in all the 1800km Bruce Highway between Briz and Cairns. A must stop - you won't regret it.

Responded 26 Apr 2013
WOW!!! To get a review like that is extremely humbling. My Husband and I have traveled in the past for work so we kind of know what it is like to be on the road all the time and to want to pull somewhere after a full days drive, you just want to be comfortable and not be stressed out over the state of a room being messy or not so clean when you walk through the door. Having only 12 rooms to the motel we can get in there and clean ourselves and to our own high standards to what one off & continuous travellers like yourself expect and deserve. As with the meals we had revamped the menu this year to give more restaurant style/quality meals - Fresh Fresh Fresh Thanks again for the great review and we will continue to strive to provide you and all guests this level of consistency in the meals, rooms and management/friendliness Look forward to your stay and all the guests that come visit us after reading this. Erika & Janice Management
