"Hosts were awesome, very accomodating & made our stay stress free. Cooking & washing up was very awkward as it's not really set up for that. An extension lead to put the hot plate outside (no exhaust fan or back splash for safe or clean cooking) Doing dishes in the bathroom sink was very difficult for me especially as I had to be super careful not to bump anything or it would have smashed on the tiles. A sink plug would have been good. Mattress could do with an update."

"It was convenient for us to attend a wedding. However our dinner on Friday night was way understaffed. Food was nice but time management was very poor. Our room was ok and spacious though dated and the bed was not too comfortable. The floors were dirty and we had a construction site at our door way. The pool and gardens though are impressive with an awesome site for sunsets. We would probably stay somewhere else though if visiting Mackay again"

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (2)
"Compared to other rooms we stayed in this same property unit 121 is the best so far.. all amenities and the room is excellent. The only thing i would say is there was 4 capsules of milk in the fridge and one of that was already opened by previous guest and used a bit of it and they put it in closed position. When you look at that it seems like a fresh milk but it wasn’t. It was fermented. Other than this small issue we had i would rate everything in this unit as 10/10 since I have stayed in...
