A convenient, comfortable stay with...

Liked: Lovely accommodation in a central location in Townsville—everything you need is close by. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Having a restaurant on-site was a great bonus, with a wide variety of food options. The pizza was especially delicious
Disliked: We found the bathroom layout was a bit unusual—there’s no door separating it from the rest of the room, which means there’s little privacy for changing unless you use the toilet or shower area. Additionally, the lighting system in it was a bit inconvenient; all the bathroom lights are connected, so if someone needs to use the toilet at night, the entire area lights up and since there’s no door, the light spills into the main room, which can be quite disruptive to anyone trying to sleep.

Good

Disliked: This place needs a serious revamp/Reno. Cracks in walls, cracked tiles everywhere, missing stones off stone walls.Also the rooms are noisy. Could hear everything from next door and above rooms if they were talking just a little too loudly.

Great coastal getaway suitable for...

Liked: In the city centre. Good bedding and close to everything. Woodfired pizza and cocktails from the rooftop were wonderful, especially when delivered poolside! Atmosphere was lovely as you could laze about the pool sipping cocktails and enjoying the buzzing of conversation around you, and city business was below, so lots of people watching as we waited for sun set. Suitable for couples, and families of all ages and convenient access to your room for a quick change or loo break before heading back to the pool.
Disliked: Didn’t realise that while it was three storeys, there was reception on first floor, car park on second floor and rooftop bar AND accommodation on third floor- so if you want an early night, this is not the place. Rooftop music and eating stopped at 10pm. But then we got the night time hoons and revving of engines and wheelies into the night. Our room was number 8, directly next to all of this. Ask for a room away from the bar and pool if you need an early night - we counted least 30+ numbers on different doors around the pool. Our room also had a light that kept me up as the curtains did little to block the light fully.
