Guest Reviews
- Jonathan (8/5): -
- Aashik (7/5): -
- Ron (9/5): - Good for my purpose
- Sophie (10/5): -
- Travahn (1/5): Treated disgustingly - I didn’t like the way I was spoken to by 2 older woman that worked at the facility, they swore at me multiple times. I was called racial slurs and accused of trespassing when I paired to stay, when I pulled out the receipt and presented it to one of the women she snatched it out of my hand then ripped it up whilst yelling racial slurs and demanding $100 from me. She’s lucky I follow Jesus Christ or she could’ve personally met him early.
- Moore (3/5): -
- Erin (1/5): While in a fantastic position, venue is very dated and needs cash injection and modernising. Would not stay there again - Location was good, communal kitchen and laundry very nice. Beds were collapsing underneath, showers were mouldy and shelves broken, short amount of hot water, pillow did not have a cover, just the stuffing in the case, brooms broken or rusted, ovens dirty. Venue charged more than what indicated on booking.com site and money taken direct by venue not the booking site. Venue looking very tired and old, photos on site seem to be earlier when much fresher.
Sign on bunk beds saying do not use as bed, air-con filter dirty, mattresses bigger than bases so moved when in use, patched holes in wall, no plugs for basins, broken rails on porch, branches rubbing across roof all night, minimal cooking utensils, nil tea and coffee supplied, dryers blowing cold air.
- Scott (5/5): -
- Rick (7/5): Good for one night. - Great location Can be cleaner,
Bed ( mattress ) was old and worn out,
Bedding is very old.
- Lorraine (4/5): - Cockroaches erc etc..noisy and noisy neighbours bit scary at night. The pictures and review were so very outdated.

- Ann (6/5): - Self contained units, car parked 6 steps away. Bed too soft. Kitchen stove was replaced with 2 burner found under the sink.

- Michael (9/5): Great, love the location and simple stay and comfortable - Bed Not much
- Renee (4/5): A place to sleep but probably won't stay again - Hot shower and a place to sleep was good after long days spent at the hospital with a sick family member. Staff seemed to be ok. The air con was cold. The fridge was cold. Location was good with a really nice coffee shop around the corner. Cockaroaches in the cabin and insects in the bed. Cabin had a really bad smell. I pulled a dirty spoon from the drawer. The garden next to the cabin where you park your vehicle was full of cobblers pegs and after arriving in the dark I ended up with them all over me! Struggled to get tv reception.
- Jeff (6/5): Provided a roof over our heads and a place to sleep. - Location Basic, but not so cheap.

- Wilson (10/5): Been here twice now. It's our go-to for Mackay overnighters. - Clean and quiet. Fantastic staff
- Kang (3/5): - Wi-Fi was not working during my stay.

Overall, the quality was poor considering the price.
- Sopaima (8/5): -
- Zac (1/5): Wouldn’t ever stay here again, even if looking for something budget, it’s disgusting. - Nothing Bed sheets ripped, holes in walls and flooring. Past guests soap in shower, broken parts in kitchen, fan only 1 setting worked, room stank.
- padiyachi (5/5): - Good with all the inside facilities. Tree above the roof needs to be cut or trim it makes noise on the roof when windy
- Colgan (5/5): -
- Rodney (8/5): - Convenient for my purpose Needs a good clean. There was dust built up on the curtains.
- Toni-lee (3/5): Never again. - I liked the location, receptionist was lovely and aircon was in for our late arrival. The owner an old lady was the rudest person I have ever met and I will never stay there again.
My first morning there I decided to use camp kitchen area and called my son who I came from Brisbane to visit over for breakfast with his fiancé and brand-new baby only 3 weeks old.
He parked close to area to unpack baby and still sore and tied fiancé etc as he was doing this an old lady pulled up in a car and started abusing all of us for being there, not once asking if we have a cabin or anything.
It was a horrible and unprofessional experience I will never forget, I won’t repeat what she said it was bad enough I threatened to call the police, when my son went to complain we only then discovered she was the owner.
- Dawn (1/5): No good - Nil Nil

- Darren (10/5): - Location is excellent, close to everything basically. Prices were awesome as was staying in Townsville before here and is so much cheaper here. Staff have been freiendly and very easy to deal with. Staying on for longer so got a discounted rate which I'm very happy with.
- Andrew (4/5): - ? The bed
- Zaden (8/5): -
- Dale (10/5): -
- Tina (3/5): Very disappointing. - Honestly - it was dry when it rained. Lock was broken so getting in was a nightmare. Was told it was being fixed in the new year - why rent a cabin with a lock that was broken?! The cabin needs some
Serious maintenance. Bathroom cupboard broken, mould on roof and walls. Location compared to advertising was very disappointing. No public transport, Ubers almost impossible to get. Also, told them my daughter would need to drive me in and out - they told her off for driving in!
WiFi does not work unless you stand at the bbq area. Pool was very disappointing and nothing like the images. Staff very uninterested in guests.

- Nhaci (5/5): Location good ! staff rude ! air conditioning dosnt work! - The location Air conditioning didn’t work , staff where rude about kids swimming in the pool . I asked for 2 towels staff said that’s fine , then staff came and got our towels off us ?
Paid over $400 to stay
- Zhiqiang (10/5): -
- Kelly-ann (8/5): Value for money - The only let down was the pillows could be upgraded and when I rebooked for the 2nd night after leaving and deciding to stay another night we got the same cabin , I think a bottle of cold water would be nice in the fridge also but the room was clean and fresh Pillows could do with an upgrade as previously mentioned
