Friendly and welcoming staff. Heather and her team couldn’t do enough for us; Nothing was a problem. Clean modern large suite. Great kitchen. Roomy bedrooms. Pleasantly surprised we had a very handy laundry within the unit. TV in each bedroom. Good AC. Plenty of towels and crisp bedlinen. Gave us a little bit of additional time to check out as my Dad has Parkinson’s and is slow to move in the mornings. Great location. Great price. 2nd time we have stayed here. Best kept secret in Mackay. Will be back!

You get what you pay for.

Very cheap accommodation, but it shows. Room was tidy enough, however stains on sheets/carpet. Most lights didn't work (including fire escape) and tv remote had no batteries. It's okay if you're just looking for somewhere to sleep.
