About the host
Hosted by Robert bath
G’day! I’m a born-and-bred Mackay local—raised just a few streets over in South Mackay, so I know every shortcut, the best pie shop (it’s Byrnes pies), and where to grab a cold one after knock-off.
I’m a tradie by day (chippy, 15 years on the tools), which is exactly why I bought and restored this old Queenslander. I love breathing new life into classic homes, and nothing beats seeing a crew of blokes (or a big family) roll in after a long week, kick their boots off on the deck, and actually relax instead of squeezing into some shoebox apartment.
Hosting lets me share the laid-back Mackay vibe I grew up with—big verandas, cold drinks, and space to move. Whether it’s helping your crew find the closest Bunnings at 6 AM or leaving a stubby in the fridge for the first bloke through the door, I’m here to make your stay feel like you’re crashing at a mate’s place… just with better Wi-Fi and an ice maker.
Cheers Robbo

Why they chose this property
Picture this: You’re on the deck at 5:30 pm, boots off, cold XXXX in hand, the footy flickering on the outdoor TV. The sun’s dropping behind the banana plants, painting the sky that perfect North-Queensland orange. A gentle breeze rolls up the Pioneer River valley, carrying the faint smell of cane fields and salt from the Coral Sea just 15 minutes away. Out front, the street’s quiet—just the odd ute cruising past. That’s Mackay in one sip.
What I love most about this patch:
• River meets reef in 20 minutes flat. Drive east and you’re at Harbour Beach with fish ’n’ chips on the sand; head west and you’re casting a line in the Pioneer River before the esky’s even cold.
• No pretentious nonsense. Locals say g’day, the pub serves $6 schooners, and you can still get a decent parmy for under twenty bucks at the Northern Beaches Bowlo.
• Big enough to have everything, small enough to breathe. Coles, Bunnings, and the showgrounds are a 3-minute run, but you’re still parked out front in 10 seconds—no high-rise hassle.
• The people. Whether it’s a mining crew, a footy team, or a family reunion, everyone ends up on that deck laughing like old mates by night two.
This isn’t a postcard—it’s the real deal. And the best bit? You’re smack in the middle of it, without paying resort prices or cramming into a shoebox unit. Welcome to the good life, Mackay style.
