What guests think

Across many reviews, The Bowlo Holiday Cabins is praised for clean, comfortable cabins and a walkable, beachside location next to the bowling club, with friendly staff and a quiet setting that works well for short stays.

Rooms range from simple studios to larger cabins, with strong showers and decent in-room entertainment, though some felt space was tight, bed setups too firm or joined, and a few reported noise from adjacent units or club events. Cleanliness is consistently rated highly, but occasional reviews mention mould, musty or chemical odours, or minor maintenance niggles like dripping taps. The gated complex provides parking beside cabins, yet spots can be tight or taken and Wi-Fi on TVs has failed for some. Expect straightforward, well-located cabins that suit short, no-fuss stays.

Really loved the Bowlo Cabins. The cabin itself was well set out, plenty of room, big front deck, comfy bed, parking next to cabin. It is a gated site adding to peace of mind and security. You walk straight out the back gate and onto the sundeck of the licensed club itself. Great spot for a beverage! There was a free juke box, lawn bowls if you were interested, Chinese bistro and takeaway pizza all at your fingertips and a 20 metre walk home! Magic!

This cabin (No. 2) was fine, except for a smell from the carpet that was not able to be cleared by opening windows or using the air con. It seems the carpet has been damp and not dried properly resulting in a smell or there have been spills that have not been properly dealt with. The carpet should be thoroughly cleaned and dried OR removed and replaced with vinyl flooring - which would most likely solve the issue. Otherwise this unit was quite comfortable for an overnight stay.

The cabin was in a block which contained 3 units. We got the middle unit which had no table to dine at or lounge to watch tv on. The end units were provided with these luxuries at no extra cost, same fee $130. Make sure you enquire about which unit your getting. Should have been cheaper.

The room was in near new condition. The room is too small and cramped. Nowhere to put 2 bags so they are out of the way. But the bathroom is roomy! The bed was comfortable. Only one chair for 2 people - the other sits on the bed. First place we've stayed at where they expect you to empty the rubbish bin in the room into the skip nearby when you leave. Make sure you read all the instructions.

Even though they have a strict noise policy after 10pm that was pointed out to us at check in, we were then kept awake till after midnight by a disco of loud music and people yelling. We let the manager know in the morning and were shrugged off with not even so much as an apology. Disappointing when you are visiting to perhaps just wind down and enjoy.

Good position. Everything we needed was a short walk. Possibly could have offered more information about the area but we found our way around easily anyway. Bowls club is good for food but we didn’t realise how busy it would be or we would have booked for our meals. Club closes very early. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed for this trip but next time would like to be able to cook a meal.
