Abacus Motel

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. 💯

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.

Rooms spotless very comfortable the restaurant was awesome food was delicious we have been away for 26 days and by far the best meals we have had staff at reception very welcoming and restaurant staff very friendly

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.

Best place to stay in Mt Isa by a mile!!!! Clean and well serviced rooms Sensational restaurant- best rissoles I’ve ever had Lovely and kind management. Thank you for a lovely stay. Will definitely be back!

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.
