Bowen are proving that they are the top pick for travelling retirees from around the country thanks to a local caravan park winning a national accolade, taking home gold at the recent Grey Nomads Awards.
Queens Beach Tourist Village (QBTV) won the Best Grey Nomad Large Caravan Park category for the third time at a virtual awards ceremony which was held in February.
Park Caretaker, Gerry Tomsett said that the awards recognise and reward businesses and services that provide exemplary products or experiences for mature-aged travellers in Australia.
She believes that QBTV won gold because they look after the comforts of the over 50s and provide a warm, friendly service to all.
“We have a nice community here,” she said.
“We have wonderful accommodation which is level and flat, no hills, so it is easy for the over 50s to access.
“We also have entertainment every fortnight, water aerobics and craft afternoons where everyone has a lot of fun.”
Owners Peter and Jennie Greer said they were thrilled to win for the third time.
“Thanks to all our Grey Nomads who choose to stay with us on their extended holidays, we look forward to welcoming you back to the village very soon,” they said.
“Thanks also to the staff and judges at the Grey Nomad Awards for hosting an incredible event from start to finish.”
QBTV won gold at the Grey Nomad Awards in 2019, 2021 and 2022 – if they win next years’ 2023 award they will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
