A Tropical Holiday Destination Par Excellence
Your Mackay holidays will unveil true Queensland hospitality in all its heartwarming glory.
With accommodation styles ranging from international hotel and resort luxury to camping sites, Mackay, Australia, is now consolidating its place in tourism and hosting a growing trade from throughout Australia and overseas.
Mackay tourism gets better all the time.
The Mackay accommodation picture does not end at the city limits, but covers a spectacular region. Starting west of the tropical luxury in the southern Whitsunday Islands, the region crosses a coastal belt of urban development and cane fields, then runs to the peace and quiet of mountain rainforest and beyond to grazing and mining districts.
Accommodation reflects this spread, from Brampton Island Resort and Mackay hotels to small country pubs, guest houses and B&BS.
For those who prefer to go camping, Mackay offers a choice of locations and service levels. The story holds true if you need a caravan park: Mackay is well endowed.
Much recent attention has centered on Mackay beaches, which have provided a natural opportunity to provide the popular beachfront accommodation.
The Bruce Highway, running through the region, meant the Mackay hotel and motel sector was always busy. Now, guests tend not just to stay overnight to break a journey, maybe to the Whitsundays, but make Mackay their destination.
This has given impetus to an upgrade of Mackay's accommodation and tourism image generally, with Mackay Council and private interests showing leadership.
Mackay, Queensland, is keen to show its delightful environment and cultural mix to the world and welcomes with a smile.
Staying in Mackay has never been so luxurious, with the Grand Mercure Suites featuring five secure levels of world class suites and studios, with an indoor pool and gym, 24 hour room service and business centre. Check live availability »
