Guest Reviews

• Joe (4/5): - Very close to beach, but price was a bit on the high side for age and condition of unit we had.
• Shirley (6/5): - So sad to see such a good facility become rundown.
• Matthew (10/5): - I live under the flight path so was not at all bothered by the occasional plane taking off or landing at the airport next door. If aircraft noise really bothers you, perhaps this isn't the best place for you to stay. Everything was neat and tidy and the bungalows well-equipped. Will happily stay here again.
• Rachelle (10/5): Illawong Beach Resort - Perhaps one of the best locations in Mackay? Our spacious two bedroom apartment had gorgeous ocean views, and absolute beach access. Easy access to the city also. 😊
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice location with a great view nice little cabins
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved how close it was to the beach, it was lovely and quiet. It was an experience we will never forget & will definitely be coming back, and have already been recommending it to other people.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Very friendly service, clean and tidy surroundings in a good location. Great views of the beach from our self contained unit. There were holes in a couple of walls behind doors, rusty knife in the knife block, metal blinds were very dusty, the list goes on....
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice little gem very quiet and close to airport. The place as old but still worth the visit. We stayed in 17 and we could enjoy the ocean breeze every morning while enjoying a cup of coffee.

• Jan (8/5): Lovely bungalow right on beach - A very comfortable unit. Bed and furnishings very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen and laundry. Belinda though not on duty came to rectify an issue with the tv.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Love the beach atmosphere. Close to amenities. Cost for accomodation was cheap. Staff hospitality was excellent throughout our stay. Will recommend to come back again.
• Marc (10/5): Mackay's Hidden Gem - Belinda was amazing and couldn't help us any more. Excellent customer service skills. Room had amazing ocean views and a couple of steps onto the beach. Room was clean and well presented. Great location, close to airport and CBD as well as a couple of steps onto the beach.

• harold (10/5): Love watching the tides. - Very nice location with a nice Ocean view. Unit was simple but it had a stocked kitchen and great shower. WIFI was excellent and totally free. Pool was refreshing.
• Kevin (10/5): Quiet Stay - Yes it is an older resort... but great... quiet. near to beach... sat and watched tide come in two mornings.. out of 2... Great... fishermen going about their business.... great in the morning sun... that sea breeze in the afternoon is something to die for... only wish could be bottled and taken home to the out west area.. definitely on the RETURN TO list... .thanks Illawong... see y ou again soon OH yes... loved the pet goanna... which hides under pathway... woohoo...
• John (10/5): One Night Stop - Absolutely fabulous wish we had more time there & if ever up there again would definitely stay there but plan to stay longer
• Verified traveler (10/5): Relaxing and enjoyable stay. - The resort has been under new management for the last 12 months. Management is extremely pleasant and willing to fix any problems if any arise. The villas are individually owned. Our villa on the beach showed signs of wear and tear and is in need of some maintenance by the owner. The villa was clean and comfortable. The resort facilities were clean and pleasant to walk through. Some owners need to maintain their villa's gardens. Our overall stay was pleasant and relaxed and for the money spent was good value. We would definitely go again if in the area.
• Cherolyn (8/5): Great spot - Great location. Hot water system failure necessitated a unit change mid stay, but staff were very helpful and upgraded us, which was appreciated. Overall, some building maintenance issues exist. Grounds very well kept.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good - Good value for money but wifi is not that good
• Kathy (8/5): Great location at the beach - Quite nice 2 bedroom accommodation next to the beach for a modest sum. Loved watching the dramatic tide go in and out .When the tide was out we walked over a mile to the water's edge. Amazing! Being at the end of the airport runway the planes taking off were pretty noisy but they're fun to watch.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Liked the location and the friendly staff. Great place to rest after a hard day.
• George (8/5): Absolute beach front - My kind of place. Would recommend to anybody wanting a quiet break.
• ian (4/5): Never again - Cabins smelt of damp,not clean,air conditioning not working just not nice
• Richelle (10/5): Nice quiet location with lovely views - Considering the weather wasn't the greatest, our family enjoyed our stay here. The staff were fantastic especially when our refrigerator was faulty, they organised another one for us within 10 minutes. Even the possums were friendly We will defiantly stay here again !!
• Kylie (8/5): Beachside bliss - The staff were very friendly & helpful. A villa right on the beach was perfect for the kids to run around. The pool was lovely & our favourite spot during our stay! The beds were comfy & aircon worked great. I agree the place is a bit dated, but you can see the staff are working hard to bring it up to standard after their recent takeover. We would definately stay here again
• Andrea (8/5): So quiet and peaceful - Lovely time in the peace and quiet. With the beach so close it was great for going for a stroll.
• Sonya (8/5): Great individual units on the beach - Lovely units with a lounge, 2 nights, planes stop for the night, would have stayed 2 more except a couple of families were put behind us with 13 kids, running around through our area and on the verandah, silly move for the motel managers to make...
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Our stay was a comfortable one. The beds were great and the room was clean but it could do with some updating. There was a lot of mozzies so I highly recommend taking mozzie spray. The service from the staff was great.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Loved being so close to the beach. - It was beautiful being so close to the beach. I great family place to stay if you don't mind the sound of planes taking off.
