Rydges Mackay Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here. Great location easy parking room big and always neat and tidy. Great options for dinning. The only thing I can say that’s negative is the rooms need new carpet. Other than that it’s great would 100% stay again"

Oaks Mackay Rivermarque Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were superb - professional and knowledgeable. The hotel is in a wonderful place for travel, food and views. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed the sunset and then the sunrise the next morning - quite gorgeous. We would be pleased to visit this hotel again"

The Resort @ Dolphin Heads

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved staying here. So incredibly relaxing, view stunning and staff very helpful, going above and beyond any expectation. Can’t wait to stay again soon"

Quest Mackay on Gordon

Riviera Mackay

10/10 Excellent

"All good, we just had a one night stop over on our travels but it was perfect for that."

Mackay Resort Motel

8/10 Good

"Good sized room and nice and clean"

White Lace Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice big room very helpful guys.Def stay again"

Comfort Resort Blue Pacific

8/10 Good

"Could provide containers suitable to cook in the microwave."

Motel Northview Mackay

8/10 Good

"This is an older style motel but the rooms are clean, roomy and the bed is comfortable with crisp, white sheets and pillows. Nothing fancy with this motel but everything works and for an overnight stay with a small dog, it is ideal. The only unusual element is that the office is not open for check-in. You call a phone number and a woman talks you through where to find the key and your room number. We didn't need to talk directly to staff so no problem for us."
