This was a great place to stay, clean and tidy, located across the road from a great kids park and beach. The only downside and it was a big one, was our A/C did not work well, and as a result we all had a terrible nights sleep. It kept turning itself off and wouldn't even work properly while it was on. We would have kept the glass sliding door open but unfortunately the lock wasn't very secure and I was worried our three year old could escape. I would definitely stay here again but would first...

Superb venue, lovely clean, modern and well appointed rooms. Very friendly operators, recommended good places to eat and see. Free wifi, breakfast included in room rate, absolutely faultless.
Simple little touches, like a little wave from the operator as you drive in and out make for a great experience.

We had 2 young children with us so having that extra single bed in the room was great.
The parking was good had extra room to fully open the doors on the car without having to squeeze beside the other cars.
The rooms were nicely renovated with an old country stone charm.
The in room Neptune’s Seafood was amazing recommend the Chicken Malibu Sauce dish!
Only downfalls

Spacious Rooms that are well appointed. The outdoor furniture against the balustrades is a concern though if you have young children.

We needed a room for the night at short notice to accommodate wife, self daughter and granddaughter.
Booked through Wotif, arrived and found motel offered everything we could ask for.
Have worked a lot overseas, so know the difference between value for money.
We only stayed 1 night, but definitely got value for money.
Will seek to stay again, if we need revisit Mackay.
