Nice location.
Nice hotel, in quiet location. Somewhat spoiled by the restaurant being shut for dinner on the Monday evening, forcing us to find somewhere else to eat- do check which nights it is open!

An excellent place to stay
This was our first time staying at the Mantra Mackay and hopefully it will not be our last. Normally we stay in town near the highway but this time we tried the marina precinct and were very happy with our choice of the Mantra. The staff were friendly and the room was excellent. The bars and restaurants along the waterfront were great. We are looking forward to another visit before too much longer, and hopefully for more than just one night on the way through.
