Stayed one night with my family on our way back from Cairns to Gladstone and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious the family suite was! Everything was really well presented and very clean. The office staff were welcoming and professional. It was also very quite, just off the highway so convenient but far enough away not to hear traffic. My... More

We stayed in a Family Suite and found it very roomy and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful and rooms clean and tidy. The location is great. Close enough to a major shopping centres, cinemas, and the highway to be convenient but far enough away to be quiet. My only gripe with the room was it was very... More

Mackay is a challenge when looking for appropriate business travel accommodation. The Windmill is a reasonable option if you are looking for an apartment style good size room with parking. I typically stay in the apartments 'over the road' which has a reasonably modern fit out and facilities. I stayed once in the motel side and had a room that... More

Cockroach in my room ants in the bathroom and had to send the lamb back in the restaurant as it was way to tough the second plate was cold and no better. I would not bother staying here again, no apology for the insects or poor quality food

We stayed two nights. The room was a good size although definitely due for a refurbishment. The bathroom was very small with a very high step-in bath. The meals were expensive. Parking was very awkward and getting luggage up and down the stairs was a major pain. The location is awful, and there is no chance of us returning to... More

I have stayed in most hotels in Mackay and this is definitely up there with the best. The rooms are roomy, the food is fairly priced, and the location is okay. The staff are always friendly. The rooms have a desk, which is essential for business travel. There is a pool, but I have not used this. I would recommend... More

We had a king bed, very comfy. Nice clean room and easy access to pool, lake, and restaurant. The spot is a little bit tricky for getting around, because you exit onto the highway, but we were mostly visiting places on the northside so it was ideal for us.
