- Damien (7/5): -
- Cynthia (10/5): -
- Jun Ming (1/5): - 空間蠻好的,老闆娘很熱情 大門在非常繁忙的大道,進入後 還要再建築中穿梭,才會抵達房間,google map的地標會一直導航到旁邊的巷弄,但在那裡的門口是被封住的
- Todd (10/5): -

- Katherine (10/5): Our stay was awesome will be going back to stay again whenever we go to Mackay again - Location was convenient to our stay Nothing our room was awesome owner was great great customer service. I would recommend to my families to stay at Rover motel
- Beverley (8/5): -
- Slatter (10/5): -
- shamieka (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Aguzzi (9/5): -
- Paterson (7/5): -
- warren (6/5): - Property was ok
- Cheryl (10/5): - Staff customer service and friendliness
- Stephen (8/5): - The owners were nice. Parts of the property are very run down, but some rooms have been renovated nicely. I had several problems at checkin, all resolved except for non-functional internet. The owners had just had new wifi equipment installed a day or two previously and it was not working. This issue was apparently resolved on the last day of my 4-day stay, but I was able to use a hotspot in the interim, so wasn't greatly inconvenienced.
- Lindsay (10/5): - Nice and close to IGA but also handy for us to duck up to Eungella the next day
- Asha (10/5): - Park, pool & large/clean/practical rooms that felt homely.
- carolanne (10/5): - Great motel clean tidy customer service was amazing
- Chad (10/5): - Good old fashioned friendly service, lovely person at the front desk. Anything you need just let him know. I willl definitely stay there again
- Trudy (10/5): - Everything we could want in a self contained unit. Loads of storage. Foxtel. Lounge dining. Big bathroom. And quiet even though it’s on the main road.
- Rubelin (10/5): - The owner were very considerate, nice and friendly. Definitely I will recommend this place.
- Ellie (10/5): - We (2 adults 2 kids) stayed 6 nights in a family room.
We were greeted by the owner on check on and the service from all staff we encountered was impeccable. We were given great advice on things to do in the area.
The room was exactly as advertised. Aircon in the main room and the 2nd bedroom was a welcome relief for us “southerners”.
Bathroom was clean and modern. Beds were really comfortable. The kitchenette had all we needed to make our own meals, including post and pans, stove top, microwave and convection oven.
The playground structure is a bit dated and worn but the kids still had a ball running around in the enclosed grassed area.
The saltwater pool had plenty of seating and a large shade cover over most of the shallow end.
Even though it’s on a main road we were in an apartment at the rear of the property and it was quiet. The other guests were mainly workers but were friendly. Close to supermarkets, and a short drive to the shopping centre and lagoon.
We would definitely choose to stay here again!
- Vincent (10/5): - Very good room with kitchen every thing you need to be self contained , very nice spacious room , think it was a family room even though I was single person
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Well appointed accommodation and helpful service. Good value.
- Julie (10/5): - Good location, in easy walking distance of a supermarket and places to buy dinner. Older unit, but very spacious with a FULL sized fridge, this being one of the reasons I chose here. A table as well as an office desk with a power point for the laptop. Kitchen sink. Nice shower. Roomy bathroom and shower recess. Bathroom lacks bench space. Comfortable bed, but the pillows were on the hard side. The lights could do with brighter bulbs. Out the back of the rooms is a handy clothesline. I would stay here again. Friendly owners.
- Rosemary (8/5): - Roomy and comfortable,
- Wayne (8/5): - The property is old however clean and tidy. Problems for attended to promptly. Very roomy and plenty space for everything. Better than some tourist units we have been in.
- Carolyn (4/5): - The photos advertised at this property did not describe the apartment I was supposed to receive on my booking. We managed with the 2 bedroom motel room accomodation and small kitchen, but overall the stay was very disappointing. The grounds certainly need tidying up and the pool area was definately a disgrace with broken pavers and pool furniture. We would not be coming back to this accomodation.
- SHELLEY (10/5): - The manager was so welcoming and extremely helpful it was overall a pleasant experience being at Rover.
- Soraya (10/5): Family weekend away! - Always a pleasure staying at Rover Holiday Units! Warm reception on arrival. Management and Staff are always accommodating.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Didn’t have spare clean towels for showering or toilet paper for guests
- Soraya (10/5): Weekend away! - Quick check-in with great service and very helpful and accommodating staff. I would highly recommend staying at Rover Holiday Units. Self-contained accommodation, with spacious living area and rooms. Close proximity to shopping centre, shops, pubs, servo etc. Very convenient. Reasonable prices.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Easy access to foreshore and city. Noisy location facing intersection. Single glazing and no blackout curtains. facing east it was very bright after 5 AM in the mornings. No sleep-ins.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Like: It was convenient.
Didn't like: grounds need a bit of a makeover
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A great experience for the Family, family of 5 and had plenty of comfort and space. Great facilities, definitely recommend to others and will be returning next time we are in Mackay.
- G (10/5): - All was an amazing stay, would reccomend them and stay there again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Thank you! We had a great stay. The unit was well appointed, clean and tidy. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
- Susan (8/5): - Great value for money, spacious, clean and comfy. I would stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location after a long day - Staff were so friendly and kind to us after a long day driving with kids! The room was huge and spotless. Plenty of parking and a nice cold pool to refresh ourselves in.
- Graeme (6/5): Convenient and value for money. - Great place to stay for a couple of days. Wish it was cleaner, otherwise very comfortable, plenty of space, eastly cooking facilities, close to Highway to go and explore.
Recommended.
- N (8/5): Nice place on the main highway - Check in was smooth. Water was hot. Beds were clean and fresh. Good place just to get some sleep for the 2 of us with 3 kids.
- N (8/5): - Good for a place just to sleep. That's about it. Air con worked. Sheets were clean. UHT milk was chilled.
- dan the man (8/5): Across from the pub! Winning - Old and cheap, but run by a nice bloke. Ybbjvhjjgg
- Tom (8/5): Nice motel - The motel was a nice place to stay. The hospitality you received when you arrived was great. The room was a good size.
- Jodie (10/5): - The room was large, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.
- gavin (8/5): Comfortable and updated - Clean. Room had been updated only kitchen doors could do with replacement. Excellent ensuite. Pool area is tired but functional. Smoker next door meant we could open the windows. They also stole our parking spot. Biggest gripe is place was listed as two bedroom and is only one bedroom. Big bed in bedroom and singles next to lounge. A second TV in bedroom is useful in these cases. We paid extra on the two bedroom tag and were disappointed.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Room had everything you could want - Room had everything you could want and the owners were helpful. Undercover parking and free WiFi
