"Art gallery was interesting, friendly helpful staff, Recommend Curtis Cruise, commentary on cruise of harbour and Curtis Island excellent. Information centre helpful. Had a bit of trouble getting around town, maps we were given print was so small on street names, needed magnifying glass, suggest to tourist board check this out."

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was just a bed, small closet, and a mirror. But it was fine as I was just passing through for 1 night. Bed was very comfortable. Shared bathroom was very clean. I stayed on a Friday night and I was a bit worried about bar noise travelling to my room, but I found no issues

Agnes Water and nearby 1770 is a lay back region with a few hidden gems. Go to the Tourist Information Centre first to get a map of where things are. There is one Op-Shop, but it is cheap and extensive and worth going to. There is a few shops. There is a good one at the garage, so don't miss it. There are take away shops, restaurants and a tavern. The tavern is great for a hot lunch. Make sure you go on the Larc (Light Amphibious Recovery Craft). There is a one hour, 2 hour and full day tours. These are worth the money and an enjoyable experience. The day tour is the best and a bucket list item.

We had a beautiful stay in Bargara.

We had a beautiful stay in Bargara. The location is perfect, right by the ocean with stunning views and easy access to cafes and walking paths. The area feels peaceful and safe, ideal for families and relaxing getaways. The apartment was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the pool and spa were a lovely bonus. Sunrises and sunsets were absolutely breathtaking from the balcony. If anything, a few small details in the apartment could be updated, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. Would definitely recommend Bargara for a relaxing coastal escape and would happily return.

Surprised by the size of the town.

Surprised by the size of the town. Stayed for 2 nights which was about right. Tourist information provided us with all we needed to know. The staff there were so much fun and very helpful. Restaurants, cafes and an art walk around town with a lovely local gallery. The large easel, with Van Gogh’s Sunflowers is a must see. Marraboon dam was a short drive away and the botanic gardens provided a lovely afternoon place to stroll. Visit the historic station… very clean and well-maintained. Plenty of options for eating. Fairbairn Bakery definitely worth a stop. Great for a short stay on the way to and from Longreach.
