This property exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and it was huge, with lovely views of the river, mountains and stadium. The location is very convenient, walking distance to the Cowboys leagues club and stadium which was the purpose of our trip. There are options within walking distance for dining, takeaway and groceries. Check in and check out was very easy also. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Townsville.

Do not book, rooms are filthy and disgusting!

This place was absolutely filthy and there wasn’t a wall which didn’t have a hole or mark on it. There were horrid dirt marks and foot print marks on the walls and mould on the doors. We refused to stay and left before even staying one hour!
