"The location is great and peaceful although 30km/30-minute away from Mackay!
Good coffee/restaurants and the Woollies supermarket are just around the corner!
Enjoyed the morning walks around the hotel, the Land of Dreams precinct offers a well-maintained picnic spot with clean BBQ facilities! The precinct is built on the old Sarina railways station precinct and houses an arts&crafts centre, a museum and the Mackay regional information centre!
All these are just a stone throw from the Sarina Sugar Shed that runs well-crafted information sessions on the sugarcane crashing mills and distillery!
Across the Bruce Highway is a well maintained Brewers Walking Trails!
Used the Sarina Motor Inn as the base to explore far-away places including the Hay Point Lookout (24km) overlong the huge coal-terminal, Mackay Bluewater Trails and Marina Village and Shipyards, Airlie Beach and even the Hamilton Island! Of course, these required a car, which we rented/collected from the Mackay airport!
Overall, too much driving but we have had a great holiday!"
