Mackerel Islands

From our first contact with Mackeral Island staff regarding potential booking dates we have had nothing but exceptional service all the way through to and including our experience on the island. We added two family members a week out and the staff could not go out of their way to complete the booking as well as arrange airport transfers for the two flying to Onslow to meet us. On the morning of taking our boat over to the Island the staff at Onslow Beach Resort were informative on weather conditions and time to go over. They picked our car and trailer up from the boat ramp and took to the secure parking so we could get going. On arrival at the island we were guided onto the beach / unloaded and assisted onto our mooring by Andy and staff. We were given an informative overview of the facilities and then taken to our accommodation. All staff who we met at varying times were friendly and went out of their way to make sure our experience was great. They assisted us getting too and from our boat via tender at times we hadn’t even asked for assistance. Dinner under the Stars was a great way to interact with the staff and hear their stories. All in all we could not thank Andy, Mads and all the staff for their exceptional service.

A very unique wonderful experience made even better by the staffs willingness to help with all your activities. Totally off grid but you wouldn’t know it with the cabins being fully air conditioned and fully self contained. Your right in the beach. We will be back!

The island is well managed and organised with plenty of facilities. Accommodation in the chalets are perfect and well presented - everything you expect for an island getaway. The staff are very friendly, and always prepared to help. They greet you on arrival, help you get to your boat, and go beyond during your stay.

We had the most wonderful experience at the mackerel islands, The staff where incredible, they truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible holiday. 10/10 would definitely recommend The resort is very beach shack style but that is the beauty and charm of it, the dinner under the stars is a vibe with great food and company The snorkelling was awesome, beach and water devine.

Had the experience of a lifetime with my son on this fabulous lil island. The staff went above and beyond to make our trip one to remember! Cannot express into words what a fantastic team they were from booking through to the stay. The accomodation, the tours, the events and experiences went beyond our expectations! Well done Team Thevenard… we’ll be back!!

Best service from the awesome staff. Went out of their way to accommodate us in every way. Will definitely be back. My family had a great time. Diving home reef was such a wicked time. Weather was really good while we was there. Make sure you take some sort of hydrating powder as the water is desalinated and contains no goodness.

What a spot!! Absolutely stunning location with the most amazing staff!! We had our own boats which was great but they do have a few smaller boats for hire on the island. The dinner under the stars was a fab way to start our stay! The staff interacted with their visitors and it added to the relaxed feeling of island life. There is a store on the islands with limited stock so best to pack what you’ll need. The fishing was tough but we’ll definitely be back!!

What an amazing week. Nature put on a show with whales, dolphins, turtles, sea snakes and so many great fish. The house (emporer) was very clean and comfortable for 3 couples. Comfy beds and plenty of hot water and great shower pressure, critical at the end of a big day on the water. Equally important, great aircon. The staff are really helpful. This is our second visit and keen to come came again. Thanks Trent, Sarah and the Mackie island crew.
