“Comfortable Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Booked the Family Apartment on the "Off Season" at $169 p/n for 3 night stay for doctor visit in Mackay. Very impressed on arrival. Family Self Contained are set in a block seperate from the motel accomodation and behind the pool, well off Nebo Road. We were upstairs.
Self Contained are motel style with the bathroom seperating the 2 rooms.
The room has:
* an adequate fridge, although it was semi full of mini bar stuff.
* 2 stove hotplates on the benchtop and a microwave.
* a good size balcony overlooking small grassed area and lovely pool, although it also faces the bar and restaurant (you can see them and they can see you) with a 6 seater outdoor setting.
* good sized bathroom with shower over bath. They also have bathroom dispensers of Shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, hand soap and moisturiser.
*Flat screen TV's in both "rooms" with limited Austar although the tv channels are not listed anywhere.
A big bonus of staying here is the daily servicing of the rooms.
A laundry is located on site at $4 per load.
The Motel bird, a cockatiel called Sunny, was a big hit with my 5yr and 3yr old.
Being the off season the restaraunt was closed but there was a lot of options all within walking distance including Pizza Hut, Subway, Thai and fish and chips at the 4 Ways. The resort recommended the Shamrock Hotel over the road with $8 buffet style meals.
Also handy was the 2 petrol stations for milk, bread etc.
Not being big fans of hotels on Nebo Road, we were very impressed with this one (tripadvisor again helping us to make a good find).
We will stay here again.

“Great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011 via mobile

Lovely motel, very clean and modern. The service was excellent (the complimentary drinks on arrival were great)!! Stayed for two nights with my son while attending a sporting event so we were only there to sleep but we had a swim in their lovely pool and ate at their restaurant (the food was outstanding!!!) I was expecting just a queen bed so I was very pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to a queen bed and a single! I booked through the Entertainment Book so got an extra discount which made it exceptionally good value as accommodation in Mackay can be very expensive!!

“staff are incompetent”

I suggest that you triple check your booking. I recently called and booked some motel rooms and was told there was plenty of availability. Turns out there is none and they emailed me to tell me. Staff clearly need to be better trained to check a computer system. Not happy!

“Nice clean modern room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in a family room with a queen bed & 2 singles which had the bathroom in between for privacy. Nice clean modern accommodation which was reasonable because we shared with friends. Had trouble getting accom in Mackay as a lot of places are booked out because of the miners so make sure you book in advance for your stay.

Room Tip: Family room was great with queen bed & 2 singles with bathroom in between.

“Good experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

I stayed in a Queen room with two additional singles which would be very well suited to a family with children. The room is half divided by the bathroom but not cut off from each other. Each 'room' has its own TV and so would allow mum and dad to watch telly sepperate from the kids when you want to lie back and relay in the evening. There is a restuarant at the motel which serves steak and pasta type meals and has a small bar. The food is good and price is fair. A pool is also available.
I found this to be a very pleasant experience and would stay there again.
