Dreaming of a weekend escape where the beach is on your doorstep, the seafood is fresh, and the pace of life is just that little bit slower? Mackay is the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Whether you’re here for coastal relaxation, outdoor adventures, or a bit of both, we’ve got your weekend itinerary sorted — with the Seabreeze Hotel as your home away from home.
Friday Afternoon – Check In & Unwind
Arrive in Mackay and head straight to the coast. The Seabreeze Hotel, located right across from beautiful Lamberts Beach, is the ideal spot to settle in. Once you’ve checked in, take a short stroll to the lookout — it’s a prime location for spotting whales during the season (June to October).
Friday Night – Dinner with a View
Kickstart your weekend with a relaxed dinner at the Seabreeze Hotel’s bistro. Feast on fresh local seafood or a juicy steak while you watch the sun set over the ocean. If you’re feeling social, the public bar often has live music or sport on the big screens.
Saturday Morning – Explore Nature
Start your day with a coffee and breakfast, then get ready for some exploring. Nature lovers will enjoy a trip to the Cape Hillsborough National Park, where you can catch kangaroos on the beach at sunrise. Or, head to the Bluewater Trail for a scenic cycle or walk through Mackay’s tropical landscapes.
Saturday Afternoon – Hit the Beach
Spend your afternoon relaxing at Lamberts Beach or try some fishing off the point. If you’re after a little more action, hire a kayak or paddleboard for a bit of fun on the water.
Saturday Night – A Taste of Mackay
For dinner, why not try one of our weekly meal specials back at Seabreeze Hotel? From barramundi nights to juicy rump steak weekends, there’s always something tasty on offer. Pair it with a cold drink and enjoy the ocean breeze from the terrace.
Sunday – A Lazy Farewell
Before you head home, take a final walk along the beach or enjoy a long brunch overlooking the water. Mackay weekends are all about slowing down, soaking up the views, and making the most of the coast.
Whether you spend your time exploring, relaxing, or a bit of both, the Seabreeze Hotel makes the perfect base for your Mackay adventure. Book your weekend stay and start planning your coastal escape today.
