Sitting right on the waterfront, the accessible-accredited Quest Rockhampton offers views from every one of its 73 self-contained apartments: boats bobbing on the Fitzroy River and the peaks of Mount Archer National Park to the northeast, and the cityscape to the south. The Rockhampton Museum of Art (RMOA) is about a 15-minute stroll away, as are the city's best restaurants, which are famous for their local-raised beef and other fresh produce.

You might come for the natural wonders surrounding this tropical outpost, but the friendly locals, humming bar scene and laidback coastal vibes give Mackay a magnetism all its own.

The city is a great jumping-off point to explore the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef, and Cape Hillsborough National Park, famous for its sunrise kangaroos and wallabies, is a short drive away.
