The name sounded promising but when I got there, it was a bit of a disappointment. The place looks a bit dated and slightly run down. The new owners were lovely and did all they could to accommodate me but it was not very organised - they didn't have a room for me even though they had documentation that I... more

Staff were extremely friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I should have read the reviews before going though, as the airport was extremely close and the noise was horrible.

Very nice place. Quiet location, however not within walking distance of anything, so a car is strongly recommended. Close to the runway of Mackay Airport, which causes occasional noise, but don't worry, it's not a very busy airport. We enjoyed the pool with shady places around. Each bungalow has 2 bedrooms, however only one airconditioner in the living room. In... more
