Where to eat and stay in Mackay
86 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Mackay, Queensland — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 86 venues in Mackay — 66 places to eat and 20 to stay. That makes it the 13th-largest of the 1280 towns and suburbs we cover in Queensland, carrying 1% of the region's venues.
Of the places to eat, 12% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. Mackay skews 18 points away from cafés and towards restaurants, a pattern more typical of an evening trade. The full split is 8 cafés, 22 restaurants, 21 takeaways, 2 bars and 13 pubs.
27 of the 66 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are burger (7), pizza (4) and steak house (3). Relative to the rest of the country Mackay is unusually strong on steak house, asian and burger — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 15 publish opening hours (17%) and 1 are recorded as step-free. That is about the national average of 17%.
For a bed, Mackay runs to 20 listings — 6 hotels, 7 motels, 1 b&bs and guest houses, 2 hostels and 4 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 35% of the town's accommodation.
Places of a similar size — Woden (86), Belconnen (86), City (86) and Mudgee (84) — average 13% accommodation. Mackay runs at 23%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 86 venues in Mackay carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
