    We didn’t stay in Mackay, but chose to stay at the Dolphin Heads Resort about 10kms out of Mackay. A very picturesque beach, there is an amazing old pub on the headland with the most beautiful view. We had dinner at the Resort Restaurant, and a very comfortable, quiet and enjoyable one night stay at the Resort. Well priced and the staff were welcoming and friendly. We will indeed stay there again and recommend this place to all.

    We didn't plan to stay at Mackay, it was the final stop of our road trip and that's where the airport was. Airport only 10 minutes' drive from centre of Mackay, where we stayed in a motel. Plenty of restaurants nearby. The Lagoon area is lovely and very quiet on a weekday when we were there. We walked the Lagoon trail which was pleasant but much longer than anticipated as not very clear signing after you had reached the bridge over the Pioneer River. We should have just taken Sydney Rd back to town but ended up along the river and at the ocean at Iluka Park. Then another 2km into town. Great shopping centre in middle of town. We visited Cape Hillsborough and stayed three nights as it was so awesome. Trails to walk, great beach, wildlife. We saw a goanna, lots of birds, smaller skinks and of course the kangaroos at dawn. Visited Sarina Sugar Shed, which was very interesting after passing all the cane fields.

    On checking in, we were given a room on level 1, with no view. The street noise was almost unbearable. We requested a change and the staff kindly moved us to a river facing room. The view was lovely, but to be honest this accommodation is sold as river frontage. It is in actual fact a block away from the River with large buildings obscuring the view. The location is perfectly central though with great accessibility to shopping. We recommend that upon booking your accommodation, to ensure what type of room you will be placed into.

    I did visit a beach don't know it's name.

    I did visit a beach don't know it's name. Very clean and appealing lots of trees and some birds. It was low tide and sand which I walked out on right out into the ocean. The place was busy for a city but you can get around reasonably easy. Been here before. Marina great to see. Biotanic gardens worth seeing. City centre nice to walk around. Worth coming here for a look.

    Beautiful city it would be a must to have a car to get around as it very spread out or be comfortable on public transport however then you would miss out on some great beaches or lookouts a car is highly recommended.

    One of the worst Towns in Australia for accommodation and eating out. No proper facilities at all. There is no night life so you need to book an excellent Hotel where you are happy to spend most of your time. not easy to get around without a car and hire car costs are exorbitant. Only way from/to airport is a cab at $50 approx.

    Incredible value for money! You will be hard pressed to find a whole apartment for this price anywhere in Mackay! The room was well stocked with everything we needed. The hotel attached to the accommodation is a beautiful venue that offers fun activities and has a fantastic menu! The staff are all lovely, so personable, the location is to die for and we will definitely be back! The view from the dining area is lovely! Have recommended this place to everyone we know! Been to Mackay so many times and never spotted this little gem!

    Good location off the main road. Very basic room and a little dated but it did the job for a nightcap. Room was large and had enough space for 3 guests. I would of preferred a cheaper room with just a double bed. Hotel room was clean and tidy. Bed was clean and comfortable but the quilt cover was quite childish. Staff were very helpful and friendly and made it a pleasant experience.

    The manager made my stay as stress free as possible. She bought me grocery items that were waiting in my room on my late evening arrival. She was able to give me information about local attractions and eating places and even offered to take me to the airport at 0530 if my taxi did not arrive on time. I was made to feel welcome and a valued visitor to her hotel

    Near the airport, Coral Cay was easy to get to and in an ideal location. The hotel was stunning, surrounded by palm trees and a relaxing pool. The bed was so comfy (especially after 2 days of travelling from England) and the shower was so warm with high pressure. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks for having me, especially over the Easter weekend.

    I loved the comfortable beds, how roomy it was and the location was right next to the mall, lagoon and Mackay CBD. The English receptionist was really nice, helpful and cheerful not to just us but everyone that was in the foyer at the time. Even to a pizza delivery guy. Thank you we will definitely stay again. 👍🏽

    - When I asked for more blankets they were promptly provided. - The beds were comfortable. - We found a lovely crepe place to eat next door, as the hotel restaurant was fully booked when we arrived. - Loved that the room had its own washer/dryer with easy instructions. - Big bath was great.

    Very helpful staff at reception, housekeeping was very good they kept the place clean and replenished with all items. Booked for more nights at the same rate. We do travel a lot so appreciate a modern decor and a well cleaned room and recognize a well-run hotel / motel.

    The room was spacious and neat. The location was central to the city with a bus stop at the front of the hotel. The bed was firm but comfortable. The room service that we had for breakfast was well presented and tasty with a good range of choices.

    Nice staff. Easy free car park. Everything is new and clean. Good aircon. Very quiet sizable room and environment. Comfortable bed and linen. The perk is to cross the street and see the beach and sunset! Will go back if I visit Mackay!
