It is not easy to find a nice fully self contained apartmrnt like the shores around Mackay. Stayed at the shores for more than 3 weeks now, friendly host, warm and welcoming surroundings, clean, tidy and well facilitated, apartment is only 30 seconds walk to the beach. It is of great value when 2 or more people staying. Recommand people... More

We stayed for four nights. The reason we booked this accommodation was because there were no vacancies at Motels in the Town of Mackay as the mining companies have just about booked all the motels on a permanent basis (An occurrence which is quite prevalent from Gladstone all the way up to Mackay and for some distance inland). This property... More

I was looking for a motel/apartment for a short stay near the beach in Mackay, and was surprised I found very few options. The very best thing about the Shores was its beachfront location, but that said, the apartment was pretty good too, and the grounds were lovely. We stayed in a townhouse with a huge main bedroom and little... More

We were in Mackay for the weekend and were looking for an unit /apartment. What a find - spacious, quiet, fabulous location (right on the beach), friendly and helpful staff. The apartment was well maintained. So close to other amenities. Would definitely stay there again.

We spent seven nights in the deluxe villa beside the pool. Excellent value for money and a brilliant place to stay for Christmas with three young children. The villa was spacious, contemporary, clean and tastefully decorated. Full kitchen was brilliant (larger than my kitchen at home!). The villa had its own laundry and the living space was large. Plenty of... More
