- Jacqueline (10/5): - We had a great overnight stay. We love the quiet setting surrounded by parkland with easy access to the beach. Breakfast in the restaurant was delicious!
- Ian (8/5): - I was located on the ground floor,and parked my car right outside the roomđ It was a very cold night in Mackay,which is rare,and it got cold in my room,and there's no option for turning heat on,you can only control the flow of the air,you cannot adjust the temperature..Also,the free wifi code didnt work,I was either given the wrong number,or it dosnt work at all. But very nice,spacious rooms
- Andrew (10/5): - Great food and drink, nice room
- Desley (8/5): - Spacious rooms, 24 hour reception, onsite restaurant with great food. Next to the beach and an easy walk to Harrup Park.
- BELINDA (8/5): - Everything was clean and beautiful, however some more affordable dining options or at the very least directions to more affordable dining options would be nice
- Shae (8/5): Nice spacious for work trip - Was nice spacious room with adequate room to do work. Comfortable bed and good location. Had a nice restaurant at the hotel also.
- Rainelle (4/5): - I feel we were put downstairs in an old room because I used Wotif This happens quite a lot, not just this motel, I think I will start booking directly with the motel. Sorry.
- Bernard (6/5): - good hotel just nothing else close without cab or uber
- Jasmin (10/5): Definitely stay again - The room was so clean and pleasant. Simple yet elegant for a family. My kids loved staying there. Having the beach so close made it even better! Food was delicious and loved the singer that was there on the Friday night! He played a few kid friendly songs like the wiggles and baby shark so my kids got to have a dance. It was amazing and we will definitely be staying there from now on when we visit Mackay :)
- William (10/5): - Perfect stay
- Louise (10/5): Enjoyable stay will definitely return - We stayed for New Yearâs Eve so we didnât have to drive. We were in a room on the 4th floor. The rooms are slightly outdated but still very comfortable. The shower is huge with a great amount of water flow. There is a small verandah and you can see the ocean . The bed was large and very comfortable. The room was clean & tidy. The restaurant downstairs serves amazing food and the staff are very friendly. I would recommend booking ahead as it is very popular. You can also order room service. There is a pool which we didnât use. And an outdoor area where you can sit & drink cocktails from the bar. The bar has a great selection of drinks including cocktails and mocktails.
- Hayley (10/5): - Always good here..the staff are so amazing and friendly and the room is always spotlessly clean and comfortable
- Cheryl (10/5): - Close to beach, live music and excellent restaurant.
- Belinda (10/5): - Always a great stay here - only place we stay in Mackay. In a great convenient area, Lovley staff, beautiful pool & not very far to walk to the beach
- Brittney (10/5): - Lovely stay, will be staying here again
- Ivonne (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay. đ
- Patricia (10/5): - The family room was the perfect choice for my daughter , her three children and myself while passing through Mackay conveniently situated close to Mackay airport.
- Hamish (8/5): - On the most part a comfortable and pleasant stay with family, the only thing was a car parked so close to mine that I couldnât get I. And my door was damaged. This is no reflection on the staff or the property. Just annoying, would stay again and recommend
- Richard (10/5): - View of lawn and bush, short walk to the beach. Light and airy dining with inside and outside options. Excellent and friendly service.
- Janine (10/5): Loved our stay - Have stayed here several times and wouldnât stay annywhere else. Love the renovations to the pool and restaurant. Really loved our stay
- Linda (10/5): - It was a very clean and tidy motel. I loved the little balcony with seating. The indoor seating was awesome to sit and enjoy my morning coffee to start the day. My room has an awesome shower with heaps of hot water. Great stay. The trees trimmed to enjoy the view would make this motel perfect! Other than that a very enjoyable stay
- Kathleen (10/5): - I love the restaurant and pool area. Staff were all lovely.
- Chris (10/5): amazing "Big Brekky" - Nice Hotel in a quiet location despite being 5 mins from the airport. Very friendly staff, very nice dinner, comfy bed and amazing breakfast, the "Big Brekky" was tremendous.
- Neill (8/5): - First time to Mackay and it was what we expected. Room was great, balcony looking over the pool, friendly staff, accommodating, meals were great, little on the high side, but worth it. Pool area was great, the hotel had weddings, birthdays, gender reveals, bands, it was well controlled, not too loud and quiet in the room, it was almost like we were a part of it! 3-minute walk to the beach, wonderful location, we got taxis everywhere, 10-15 minutes from everything, well worth the stay.
- Carli (8/5): - It was comfortable and the price of the room was economical for the number of people sleeping in it.
- Katherine (10/5): - Staff were super friendly and helpful
- Jenny (10/5): - Very clean. Super comfortable bed. Great brekky.
- melissa (6/5): - Close to the beach. The rooms were outdated. There was no microwave, the aircon did not heat so we were freezing.
- Julie (10/5): - Staff were friendly, rooms were very clean and the great ambience.
- Kirstie (8/5): - -
- ABERN (10/5): - Near the beach is definitely a plus
- Mukul (10/5): - Great customer service.
- Bruce (10/5): - Lovely caring staff that took a genuine interest in their customers.
- NICOLE (10/5): - The friendliness of the staff. I arrived very early due to flight changes with Covid and they let me into my room at 8am which was incredible. The food is delicious and the walking tracks nearby are great. The view from my room was so beautiful.
- Lawrence (8/5): - Clean facilities. Limited off the street parking disappointing.
- Jaycen (10/5): - The Website does not do this place justice. We were coming in late from Hervey Bay and there was not much accommodation available by the time we checked Wotif as we werenât too sure if we were going to stop in Mackey or push on through. We decided to stop the night and made our selection based mainly on price but also by the general look of the place and location because we did not want to be on a main road due to the noise. When we arrived we were both quite surprised as the place was far more modern than expected and a lot bigger than the photos we saw. I did call ahead to make sure we could check in late and the lady said that the counter is attended 24/7. As we were making our way to our room, we passed the restaurant and were relieved that it was still open so we quickly dropped our bags off, briefly took in the view and ocean breeze from the balcony then headed straight back down for a meal. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We chose to sit outside in the pool area to eat our meal as it was beautifully lit which provided a relaxing atmosphere but also to take in the beautiful breeze and weâre visited by a local possum which thrilled the kids. Overall we were not disappointed by anything and our stay was a welcomed break from a 1500 klm drive. The staff were so friendly and professional as well. If passing through Mackay, be sure to check this place out, you wonât be disappointed. The hotel is right on the beach. The restaurant also does breakfast.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - I like the food and the excellent service. The place is close to everything
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Older but good value for money. Walking distance to Harrup Park.
- Ally (10/5): - My family and I enjoyed staying here. Room service was very early though.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff were incredibly helpful and the food in the restaurant was exceptional
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Horrible. If you want some rest for your vacation and have a good night sleep this is not the place to be. All they care about is hosting parties and loud music goes on till midnight. Then when one party finishes another carries on in the room, walls are paper thin, you can hear everything the next door says or do, been it party noise or whatever you could imagine. Not worth the money.
- Louise (6/5): Not good value for the money - The hotel is rundown and in need of some updating. The beds only had a sheet on them and we froze all night. No blankets or comforter/doona
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Hannah and her team run a great operation. Will stay again
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I Like the hotel and it was my 12th time that I have stayed there. I always enjoy my stay. The only thing that can stay is they can modernise the bathrooms and apartment a little
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and very accommodating with our requests. Room very comfortable and clean.
- Jennifer (10/5): Great accommodation! - Great for the purpose of business
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful park and beach near by. Lovely pool with rock features. Lush gardens. One of the best restaurants weâve eaten at in Australia.
