Top Echidna Nature Refuge Hotel Reviews

Mackay Resort Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Just a good quiet, clean place to stay. Pool wonderful and staff efficient and friendly. Excellent amenities in the room I chose and was really great to have decent size fridge and a cooktop for a longer stay. It's a busy place but so quiet once you're in the room. No complaints here."

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"

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."
