Abacus Motel

I must say that without a doubt this is the friendliest and most welcoming motel that I have stayed at in many years. The staff were so friendly and helpful from the time I called to make a reservation. We were going to be late, after 8:00pm, driving from the NT. We were told that the arrival time didn’t matter and they would make sure our key and room was ready. Around 8:00pm staff called to make sure we were travelling safely and to check for an update on our ETA. Once we arrived we received a warm welcome and even though the kitchen was closed they still arranged a meal for us. The room is clean, well appointed, quiet and comfortable. We then found out that the motel is pet friendly!! Next time we travel with our furry family we will definitely stay here. There is ample sizeable parking at the room which makes unpacking after a day on the road that bit easier. There is even a bucket and window squeegee to clean your windscreen. A complimentary cheese board on arrival, who does all this these days? Nobody else!!! We will definitely be staying here on our return journey and will tell all our friends and colleagues about this gem so they too can enjoy this oasis.

Good place to stay, about 5 minutes drive out of town. The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The property has an excellent restaurant on site as well as a guest BBQ, laundry and pool. The rooms are quiet and the staff are friendly and helpful.

After having a shaky start when our online booking didn’t secure our room, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They rang other accommodation trying to find us somewhere else to stay in Mt Isa but everything was booked out. They then (at 8.00pm) offered to clean a room that had been vacated late in the day while we ate a great meal in their restaurant after they arranged for their chef to stay late to take our out of hours order. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Great staff who were very helpful, friendly and pleasant.

Very friendly staff, rooms are very clean and comfortable with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits, there is also a microwave. There are pet friendly rooms available. There is a bucket of water with hand held windshield wiper outside the rooms to clean your windscreen . The Restuarant has good meals with delivery to the room if you don’t feel like dining in. Motel highly recommended.

We had a couple of nights in this motel with our pup. Clean, good service. Little courtyard out the back of each pet friendly room. Helpful staff and good restaurant. The managers care about the business and it shows.

My stay was 7 weeks at the Abacus for work purposes. A great welcoming atmosphere here at Abacus. From the welcoming charcuterie board on arrival the friendly staff in the restaurant. Chris and Michelle are excellent hosts and go out of their way to ensure your stay is the best possible. Highly recommend this motel for anyone looking to stay in Mt Isa.
