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 purpose. I do agree with another reviewer, the mould in the shower should be sorted out. It's the small things that matter the most. We did use the pool and noticed it hadn't been tended to properly hence the algae build up and cloudy water. We didn't stay in for long at all. Our wifi was not free, but for $5 you can use the wifi for 3 hours. The restaurant, bar area is convenient but some of the prices are a little over the top. the room facilities are good and the rooms are nice and spacious. One last thing, I 100% agree with reviewer gmert.....customer service is paramount and should be taken seriously within our Australian tourism and hospitality industry.....pay attention to detail.

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 small water feature (a lake I think) and as a result my room was full of mosquitoes and other flying "bugs". Room was average size, bed was hard although I did sleep pretty well. There is a seperate shower / toilet and a small refrigerator that is stocked with drinks. The motel also has a bar / restaurant that looks pretty good although I did not eat there. The course I undertook at the motel was catered by their kitchen and to be honest the lunch both days was very good. I suggest the restaurant would be as good ???

Motel has a pool and the rooms are either ground floor or one floor up.
This motel was opened in 2007 and the plaque on the wall states it was assessed as a four star property. It was also noted that this accreditation on lasts for two years (in fine print on the plaque). It needs to be reassessed, I doubt it would rate a four star property now.
No real negatives comments on this place but its not anything to rave about. I suggest the management need to look at a few minor issues. The first is this is a non-smoking motel but my room did have that faint smokers stench (covered up with a hint of cheap motel room deoderiser). The entry doors to each room share a common foyer type arrangement with the adjoining unit. The result is excessive noise. This was noted by another reviewer on this site. Not a lot that can be done about this, its just a woeful design. The only real negative was a significant build-up of mould in the shower cubicle. Anything in the shower near the water outlet is mould stained. The cleaners need to get a bit (perhaps lots) of bleech to fix the problem. Tea / coffee making equipment in the rooms and the free WI-FI internet is a real bonus. It was a significant point of applause, well done windmill. A final comment, I am really critical of poor service now a day. The service here was OK but motel staff in general at many establishments just dont go out of their way to be cheerful and friendly. Its a problem specific to Australia at the moment (in my opinion). The tourism industry here want Australian people to stay home and spend money but they need to look at this issue or people will continue to go overseas...!

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 table and chairs I could look out over the lake. Very pleasant. The air con was one of the quietest yet and the tv a good size. Meals in the restaurant were very good if not a bit pricey and breakfast was good. King size bed that was very comfy and large pillows. Would stay here again for sure.

I have never stayed here before nut as all my Usual place were booked oout or cost $70 or more for the night I thought I'd give this one a try.

I booked doe a Studio Apartment and was quite surprised whn I got a large room. The recepetion staff were very friendly and I was able to organise Room Service. Har the Chicken Parma Rate it a 3 out of 5 and the Berry Cheesecake rate it a 4 out of 5.

Breakfast wasn't too bad not a great selection of Fresh Fruit it looked abit tired but the rest was fine.

Check out was easy quyick and friendly.

I guess the only thing against it is it is sort of in the middle of nowhere but it isquiet.

I would stay there again.
