Cheeky Little Monkeys, the playful brainchild of local mum-of-five Lisa Versaci, has swung to the top of Mackay’s business scene, recently claiming the Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce Best in Business Award for the Next Big Thing (New Business). With a focus on creating a safe, fun-filled jungle for children and a much-needed break for parents, Cheeky Little Monkeys has quickly become a favourite among local families looking for an easy and enjoyable place for their little ones to monkey around.
As a busy mum, Lisa found it difficult to find party options that were not only fun for children but also made life easier for parents.
“I wanted to create a place where little ones could go bananas in a safe, age-appropriate environment. Somewhere parents could relax, sip a coffee, and let the kids swing into fun,” Lisa said.
Cheeky Little Monkeys has hit the sweet spot for families, offering a play area designed specifically for kids aged six months to five years. Safety and cleanliness are top priorities, ensuring that all the little monkeys can romp and roll in a space that’s carefully maintained.
And it’s not just about the kids – Lisa’s jungle comes with perks for the parents too. Located on Wood Street beside Athletica Gym, Cheeky Little Monkeys also offers a crèche service. Parents can drop their little ones off for up to three hours while they run errands, enjoy some downtime, or even hit the gym. At just $15 per hour, it’s a fuss-free solution that gives kids time to monkey around while parents get a much-needed break.
For those who choose to stay, there’s a coffee station featuring Primal Coffee, and snacks from YAW Bakery to refuel both parents and kids. And if you’re in need of a night out, Cheeky Little Monkeys even hosts 'Date Night Saturdays,' giving parents the chance to drop off their little monkeys and enjoy a carefree evening.
But Lisa’s business isn’t just swinging in one tree. She also runs two more ventures at the same location. Party Central is perfect for hosting unforgettable birthday parties, offering exclusive bookings so that your child’s special day is one for the scrapbook. And for the older monkeys, Harper Bee is a boutique shop packed with tween and teen gifts and school gear, from trendy selfie nail kits to must-have Bondi beach bags.
With their recent Best in Business Award, this jungle is only set to grow, proving that Lisa and her team are no strangers to monkeying around with success!
