If the Mantra are not happy letting Wotif market their rooms cheaper than they charge - dont do it! Simple, there are plenty of other motels that welcome Wotif customers and demonstrate that the customer is important regardless on what the customer has used as a marketing research tool and payment mechanism.

An excellent place to stay

This was our first time staying at the Mantra Mackay and hopefully it will not be our last. Normally we stay in town near the highway but this time we tried the marina precinct and were very happy with our choice of the Mantra. The staff were friendly and the room was excellent. The bars and restaurants along the waterfront were great. We are looking forward to another visit before too much longer, and hopefully for more than just one night on the way through.

The Mantra is a must stay!

I loved my trip to Mackay and mostly because of the mantra. The food was amazing, do get the breakfast add on. It is worth it ! The hotel itself is stunning! But the best bit of it all were the staff. They were all so fabulous. Rachel, Rhianna and Monica you guys were the best. Thank you for everything
