Waters Edge The Strand

10/10 Excellent

"Owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Room was perfect. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Will be back!"

Ardo

"Exemplary hotel standard. The whole ambience and attention to detail in its design are extraordinary. Great value too. The provision of dining options next door was also appreciated."

Amaroo Rainforest Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The Apartment was excellent, beautifully appointed and very clean. I would like to see a Restaurant and /or bar in place. Very nice, I would definately visit again."

Oaks Townsville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice. Great location. Close to everything."

Vale Hotel

8/10 Good

"For my one night stop-over, The Vale was just great. Situated on Ross River Rd. it is approx. half way from where I had been, and where I had to go the following day. The Online check-in worked a treat, the receptionist, who could explain how everything works is courteous and friendly, and "undercover parking" is very secure. My room was spacious and well maintained by the housekeeping staff, with the usual facilities and a nice comfy bed. A visit to the hotel for a refreshment or two, and/or a meal is recommended, also with great staff on duty. However, the negatives; a touch of paint in a few areas would really freshen those up,(areas) and only breakfast packs are available. But yes, I do recommend "The Vale Hotel/Motel" for a stop over or just a meal."

Rydges Southbank Townsville

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and clean. The staff was very helpful and guided us by providing maps for the area. Staff was very courteous. The buffet breakfast had a good variety and spread however the menu was the same on all days of our stay."
