🎶 WEEKEND ENTERTAINMENT AT MERINDA VILLAGE HOTEL 🎶

The people have spoken — and we’ve listened! It’s a huge weekend of live music and a family-friendly Sunday sesh in the beer garden you won’t want to miss.

FRIDAY NIGHT – ALISA QUERRO (6–10PM)
We’re stoked to welcome Alisa Querro back to where it all began — she played her very first gig right here at Merinda Village Hotel! With her smooth vocals, acoustic flair, and down-to-earth charm, Alisa brings the perfect mix of crowd favourites and feel-good tunes to kick off the weekend.

SATURDAY NIGHT – ROCK SOLID (7–10PM)
Get ready for a night of big energy and classic rock anthems as Rock Solid take the stage! From AC/DC and INXS to The Angels and more, this powerhouse Airlie Beach band brings the ultimate party vibe. Grab your mates, ice-cold drinks, and let’s make it one to remember!

SUNDAY SESSION – MIKE DUFFY (from 3PM)
Ease into Sunday with Mike Duffy in the beer garden. Mike’s got that laid-back coastal sound that’s all about easy listening, cold drinks, and good company. The kids can play while the parents relax and soak up the tunes — the perfect way to wrap up the weekend.

It’s all happening this weekend at Merinda Village Hotel — great food, great music, and the best crowd in Bowen.

A Drive-Up with a Difference!

Only at the Merinda Village Hotel do you see locals pulling up for a cold one… on horseback!

That’s what we call a little closer to home.

Bowen Races After-Party — Merinda Style

When the last race is run and the heels start sinking into the turf, there’s only one place to kick on… Merinda Village Hotel.

Sure, the Grandview’s got a bus — but ours comes with Dan, and everyone knows Dan’s the real VIP of the Bowen Races. He’ll scoop you up, get you back safely, and make sure your drink’s cold before you’ve even sat down.

Good food, live tunes, cold drinks, and zero pretension — just how a post-races night should be.

So when you see Dan and the Courtesy Bus rolling through, you know where the real party’s at.
