Abacus Motel

Avoid Arrogant English chap would not let us choose a room. Gave us one with difficult parking saying “take it or leave it”. Noisy place near lights on major highway. Avoid

Great food, great team, safe and quiet location. What more could you ask for! Thanks team for an enjoyable stay

The rooms are fairly nice and comfortable and even have room makeup service if staying on. I wasn't particularly impressed with the amount of dirt on the entrance to the rooms. Its not hard to quickly run around with a blower to send the dirt back to the outside of the verandah. There ar bins supplied outside for emptl cans etc along with rubbish bins placed in several spots . The parking is undercover and I did see some tradie trucks parked underneath. Along with acres of room in front and becide for truck trailer parking. Great restaurant on site with bar. Overall I definitaly will saty again. Especcially as Mount Isa has very limited classy ecomodation and this place has it all. You need a vehicle if you want to head into town,

We went to dinner at the abacus last night and hands down best meal in the isa. It’s our go to place to eat out and it never disappoints. I ordered the 300g Sirloin and it was juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection! At this place you ask for the steak how you like it and everytime you get what you ask for (unlike other establishments where you have to ask for it under how you like it so by the time you get it it’s kind of close to how you want it cooked) the sides I ordered were the garlic buttered beans and creamy mash with dianne sauce and it was all a 10/10. The husband ordered the bbq pork ribs for his main and he also enjoyed them they fell off the bone and had their nice glaze on them the potatoes could have been a little crisper but that won’t dampen our experience at all bloody fantastic meal and atmosphere. Thank you to the amazing staff for having us and we will definitely be back. 💯

Excellent place to stay in Mt Isa

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.
