Proudly serving the Mackay community for over 60 years, The Boomerang Hotel is more than just a local pub—it’s a part of the town’s history. Built in 1961, it was the first in the area to offer motel-style accommodation, perfectly positioned at the city gates on Nebo Road.

Our story goes back even further. The site was home to the Railway Hotel in the 1880s, later renamed the Caledonian Hotel, a meeting place for travelers, locals, and even their horses! Through cyclones, fires, and a rich history of resilient ownership, this location has always been a hub for great hospitality.

Today, we continue that tradition with pride. Whether you’re here for a classic pub meal in our bistro, catching the game on the big screens in our Sports Bar, or enjoying a stay in our comfortable accommodation just minutes from the airport, The Boomerang Hotel is your home away from home.

Come and see why we’ve been a Mackay favorite for generations!
