The ideal location is close to numerous cafes in Gregory Street as well as the restaurants on The Strand in North Ward, Townsville.

    Location great bang in the centre. Staff were very friendly on arrival. Room was clean and comfortable. We ended up eating in the restaurant on site which was quiet but food was excellent. The only downside was the pool was a bit dirty in the morning and there was an automatic cleaning machine left on there whilst we swam which was a bit strange. Overall great stay.
