I was staying here during a work trip and found it to be a really nice place to stay.
The breakfast is excellent, particularly the eggs and bacon (some of the nicest bacon I've eaten).
The dinner special of crumbed lamb cutlets are the bomb!
The staff were friendly and helpful too.
Looking forward to staying again.

Our family raced to Mackay under extreme emergency circumstances and were met with the most helpful, friendly, considerate and understanding staff members. From the admin staff to the cleaners, everyone has been exceptional.

Big Shout-out to host Kevin & Melissa. Our daughter was in an accident and needed a comfortable place post-Mackay hospital. These guys took care of everything and showed exceptional care for them on arrival and during their 2 day stay. Fantastic service greatly appreciated. Thanks again

Very comfortable bed. Nice clean room. Staff/owners were awesome. Nicely set up there. Missed the chance to have a feed as the chef fell ill. Best wishes to him, I hope he gets well soon. I’d gladly stay there again. Thanks for having me.
