The Leap Hotel is an iconic pub located not far out of Mackay. The pub offers an overnight rest area to RV’s. The publican simply asks that you call in for a cold drink or a meal at the pub. The legend behind the pub is that a powerful woman named Kowaha from a local native tribe; committed the ultimate sacrifice in 1867. As a result of this event, the Mt Mandarana Cliff and Valley became known as The Leap.
The Hotel now stands as a reminder of this history and the legend of Kowaha. Visit the hotel and be captivated by the memorabilia and history of this region
