Bowen is one of the Whitsunday Coast’s most charming towns, home to delightful palm-fringed beaches, secluded bays and amazing marine life. It’s one of the places that has something for everyone, whether you want to relax and do nothing or dive, snorkel, fish or paddleboard, we have it all for you here.
Boasting a tropical climate of sun-filled days, and easy access to the 74 magical Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Bowen is somewhere you’ll want to return to over and over again.
It’s a must for snorkellers and divers, with some of the best fringing reefs in Queensland lying just a few metres offshore. The colourful coral gardens are right there on your doorstep!
Centrally located between Townsville and Mackay, Bowen was founded in 1861, making it northern Queensland’s oldest town. It was once considered for the state capital! Averaging about 8 hours of sunshine, it is no wonder that Bowen is called ‘the climate capital of Australia’.
Rose Bay Resort is located right on the pristine shores of award-winning Rose Bay and offers a picture-perfect Bowen holiday location just 5km from the town centre.
Rose Bay Resort has won several Tourism Awards and we receive wonderful reviews from the many happy guests who stay here.
We have a choice of clean and comfortable self-contained accommodation, including 2-bedroom Penthouses, 1 and 2-bedroom Apartments and 1-bedroom Studios. You’ll find both the resort and the accommodation very well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing break.
Rose Bay Resort offers unsurpassed views over the turquoise waters of the Coral Sea to Middle and Gloucester Islands – it really doesn’t get any better than this. Relaxed, laidback and peaceful, sandals and thongs are the only footwear you’ll need when you stay with us!
