White Lace Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Manager is extremely helpful and one of the few places we’ve stayed that have gluten free items for breakfast."

Rydges Mackay Suites

8/10 Good

"Although looking a bit tired, a handy location in town and nearby amenities"

Comfort Resort Blue Pacific

8/10 Good

"Kitchen adequate for short stay. Very comfy bed and washing machine was appreciated."

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."

Mackay Resort Motel

8/10 Good

"Easy checkin"

The Resort @ Dolphin Heads

10/10 Excellent

We didn't have our little dog with us however it's nice to know she was welcome!Nicole was communicating with us to make sure everything was ok.One suggestion would be to get a steamer for veggies, a can opener and a baking pan.We burrowed some from a friend.Thank you for making us feel welcome."
