Room was great. Grounds were tidy, private and convenient. Beds comfy. Staff friendly. And we were pleasantly surprised by the continental breakfast that was included. Overall great location and value for money. Only complaint was the cleanliness of the bathroom. Shower recess had fuzzy mould and pink mould in some of the grout lines.

We loved our stay in the superior family apartment! It was spacious and comfortable! The pool was so serene and gave off resort vibes! Happy hour by the poolside and a 2 piece band on the Saturday late afternoon/evening. Breakfast for 2 included. You'd need a car if you stayed here as it would be a hike to The Strand.

Little family get away from Mackay was awesome. Room was much nicer than expected, although the bathroom could use an extraction fan, it was very nice. Wife and I enjoyed the soft bed, kids loved the bunks! Pool area was fun and easily accessible from our room. Food was ordered in to our room, a little basic, but yummy. Breakfast in the restaurant was a bit average, but there was a good amount on offer that was complimentary. Overall, we had a great time, we will be back and have told people to make it a spot they stop when in Townsville.

Facilities recently upgraded and very nice. Staff no help at all, in fact rude at check in. Restaurant very average, one poor overworked person serving bar, seating patrons, taking meal orders, delivering meals, and working payments.

Liked: Staff & service
There’s lots to love about the Seahaven and the remnants of its heyday as Seagulls remains, not least the gorgeous pool area and big restaurant deck. The included breakfast is a treat and has good variety of hot and cold options. The team are clearly working hard to renovate and the rooms inside are pretty nice although the bathrooms need a deep clean. I was surprised that there was no daily room makeup although that’s not a deal breaker. Watch this space, I think over the coming months it will see a lot of improvements and freshening up. For now it’s a lovely quiet option away from the bustle of the strand whilst still being on the beach with access to cafes.
