The grounds are really well kept. We liked that you offer private access to Blacks Beach. We also liked that the unit had ceiling fans and security screens on all windows, allowing us to sleep with fresh air.

We loved how quiet and secluded each apartment was. The managers were so friendly and helpful . Will be recommending it to all. The apartment had a full size kitchen and large living area. We loved everything about it. There was an excellent pool and outdoor entertaining area and close to the beach.

Perfect get away
We were looking for a quiet weekend and that's what we got. If we had chosen to "do" things, there would have been plenty to chose from.

Great resort style accom for a beach getaway
We were so close to the beach at The Shores Apartments that we could hear the ocean at night. The accommodation was clean, tidy and had nice decor; it was perfect for our family of 4.

Barely 3 stars.
Met up with friends. Hotel is classified as 4 stars, but would barely make 3.
Was dirty, appliances were not working and staff was unfriendly. Would not stay again.

Nice enough
Good for the price with attractive surrounds, parking a little tight. Suitable for families looking for full kitchen & other facilities, right on the beach, although a little far to main part of the town.

Wonderful location
We had a great time here with only a short walk to the beach through lovely gardens and paths. Great unit and thank you for your recommendation of dinner at the old pub up on the hill. My only criticism is when there are 2 large cars next to each other in the carports - not enough room to get our suitcases past the cars.

A Wonderful Find
I didn't want to stay in the city of Mackay so I chose Blacks Beach, 10 km away, and I am very glad that I did. The hotel and its grounds are well maintained and the hotel is situated in a very good suburb right on an incredibly long, wide and beautiful beach that has amazing views towards the Whitsunday islands. Although it was only the two of us in a two-bedroom townhouse (the only accommodation available) it was very worth the cost. The kitchen allowed us to do a bit of cooking (Woolworths and Coles supermarkets plus McDonalds not far down the road) and there was even a washer and drier in the unit.. Would I stay again? Absolutely!!!
