Top South Mackay Hotel Reviews

Beachside Boutique Motel Mackay

10/10 Excellent

"The manager checked us in and was incredibly friendly and obliging, and the cleaning staff were also lovely. The motel looked to have been recently renovated and was done very tastefully, and the room was spacious and well equipped. It was great being located so close to the beach, and very close to where our function was held."
