What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The room was in perfect conditions, really good housekeeping. Also the owners were really nice with us! Highly recommend it!”
“Overnight stop over on big move from Melbourne to Townsville. Very friendly and accommodating owner/staff, refused to let us park our trailer on the street. For the price, very clean and comfortable accommodation. Clean, private bathroom, new split system. Plentiful and undercover parking for cars. Best accommodation of our entire trip.”
“We stayed here during our road trip and it was definitely a highlight of accommodation. The pool is really well kept and so relaxing, the BBQ is in great condition and free to use, and we even did a wash and dry of our clothes. Facilities were fantastic and the lady behind the desk was incredibly kind and helpful. Definitely recommend.”
“Mackay Motor Inn is awesome if you are looking for a comfy bed and a clean room to stay in for a very reasonable price. I have stayed many times and the service has always been exemplary, rooms faultless and they will look after you if you book direct, especially if you are a returning customer. Naomi is great to deal with and nothing is ever too much trouble. Shamrock Hotel is a short walk up Nebo Road, great food, gaming, happy hour pricing etc. Highly recommended”
“We stayed for 2 nights. The place was comfy and clean. Staff were nice and helpful. A hassle free stay is what you need on your holiday.”
