Room was clean, well appointed. Had the best nights sleep, makes me question my bed at home or was I just very tired? The beds looks straight, hard and somewhat uninviting, but I slept so well! Pillows were nice :) Had dinner in the restaurant and the service was very good, staff were smiling and seemed happy to be there.... More

I have stayed here a few times when needing to go to mackay for business or shopping. I like the location, it's close to mt pleasant shopping area and only a short drive down the main road to the bigger and better caneland shopping centre. The motel does seem a little dated judging the room decor, but it serves it... More

Stayed at this motel for two nights whilst doing a training course in Mackay. It should be noted this city in central Queensland is the centre of a significant mining boom area and at the moment very few hotels in the area have any vacancies. This place was also full for the two days I was there. Set by a... More

I found this motel to be very comfortable. While I was not there on a holiday, I needed somewhere close to the Mater Private Hospital and this is just a three minute drive away. All amenities were provided and I had a ground floor room that was very spacious. With a sliding door opening up to a small courtyard with... More

The price was ok $235 and the apartment was a nice suprise having stayed there once before in a ground floor room and suprised that there were no windows. The 2br was a huge improvement, large main bedroom with flat screen TV and huge shower over spa ( which you... More

I have stayed here on numerous occasions and find it to be reasonable. Although the location is well away from the city centre I find it to be quiet as it is situated off the highway. Considering the number of times that I have stayed there, maybe about 12, I would normally expect the reception staff to welcome me back.... More

There are very few decent places to stay in Mackay and this is the better alternative. Mackay is crying out for an upmarket establishment where businessmen can do a bit more work in the evening on a well-designed desk/workstation and also enjoy modern room utilities and surroundings. People on business just want to chill out after a long hard day.... More

Had a one night stay in Mackay and stayed at the Windmill. There is nothing wrong with the Windmill, it is clean, the room was large, the bed comfortable, it is just the price that hotels charge in Mackay. If the room was $130 I would have suggested it was value for money, alas it was $40 more. This is... More
