Kangaroos gather on the beach at sunrise, creating unforgettable wildlife encounters you can witness from nearby picnic tables. Hike through the national park's rainforest trails or join guided tours to spot wallabies, possums, and flying foxes in their natural habitat.
We stayed at Potter's on our way to the islands to help with scientific research. The staff was outstanding in providing us with transportation, keeping our suitcases after we checked out, and sharing information and insights about Mackay and its history. The hotel is comfortable, quiet, a block from the coastal preserve and a short walk from Mackay's central business district. We highly recommend it!

Late check in was very easy. The ro was very spacious and clean. The bed was super comfy. It is super close to restaurants as well. The breakfast hours are a little late on weekends, but there are coffee packets and tea in the room.

If you have to go to Mackay this is the place to stay. I felt like I was a family member. The lively couple who takes care of the lodge were so nice and helpful. They helped me book a tour to the Whitsundays, gave me great recommendations on food and other activities. They even dropped me off at the airport.
