This is my second time at the Mandarin and I tried another place to save a few bucks recently but the highway noise was soooooo loud. Not here but! This place has huge rooms with a desk, lounge double bed and massive bathroom. I would not stay anywhere else in Macksville. Great hosts too very friendly and happy to pull... More

I was in town for the Annual Halfway Havoc Car/Minitruck Show and we needed a place to stay off the main road with secure parking. We found the Mandarin met our requirements perfectly. Our car was safely tucked away downstairs in the undercover parking. The place itself is quite modern and appears to be recently built. Service was great and... More

This is our fith time at the Mandarin. We always stay here on our syd-gold coast drive and will continue to do so. The hotel rooms are really good. Comfortable bed, nice bathrooms and most importantly always spotless. This place is great value for money.

I booked a twin room overnight for my niece and myself. Large room with beds diagonally opposite so plenty of space and separation. Modern, spotlessly clean, large bathroom with spacious shower and vanity bench. Although we had the window open all night there was no noise from the traffic on the Pacific Highway. The window probably faced south/south-east and there... More

The woman working the office was very friendly and helpful, got us checked in and set up with welcome biscuits and milk, and gave us some recommendations on places to have... More

It was just a stop over on our way to visit friends in Newcastle. We just needed a bed for the night and something to eat. Enquiring over the phone, the host was more than helpful and very friendly. We found the off highway location after missing the turn off the first time, but that was my fault. At check... More

What a fabulous find! Our very first impressions when we first turned into the driveway were good and the Mandarin certainly not only didnt disappoint, it exceeded expectations. Where to start? The room / rooms are immacualtely clean, as well as oversized to ensure a very confortable stay. The kitchenette is well equipped and for once I didn't have to... More

I've previously stayed at the Mandarin Motel a couple of times (have reviewed here before) and this visit was another awesome stay. The Customer Service, Rooms, Staff are all A++++. Looking forward to my next stay.

Room has been designed to be very spacious, has enough room for a comfortable lounge to watch TV. Bathroom was large and modern, but it is the little things that are important, ie the fridge is built up of the floor so you can see in it ti get drinks out etc. I stay in many motels and I will... More
