To give you a better overview, we have reviewed 26 accommodations in Mackay and created a summary of the most popular hostels here. Prices per person are around $44 per night. Dormitories are charged individually and according to need.

Getting offers from different hotels is unfortunately very time-consuming, we know that. That's why we have created our dedicated service, which provides you with fitting offers!
