It was our first family visit from Papua New Guinea to Townsville. Indeed Jacana is ideally located on the edge of the beautiful Ross Riverway with neatly kept gardens, welcoming staff, free wifi, great facilities to make our first visit to Townsville so memorable. The beautiful settling greatly assisted in getting our daughter adapt into JCU. We've made a decision to keep staying at Jacana (and Itara) Apartments every time we visit Townsville.

The Hostel was always clean, well organized, quiet. Its a nice place to meet nice people. There are so many small details that made my stay very comfortable. Like the free shampoo, gym, herbs garden, hair dryer. Everything was in a great condition, even the stoves were brand new. There are some nice places to chill out or watch TV. And the location is very close to the Strand and to the center so its easy to get around.

Warm welcome, social and relax atmosphere, super friendly staff. Rooms were clean and I appreciated that they had a mini fridge! Very good wifi. Well equipped and clean kitchen. Nice common areas in the back. Good location close to Castle Hill (for great hiking and amazing views on Townsville), Citylane (restaurants, bars) and Woolworth. Quiet time policy in place from 10pm. Overall very good value for the price!

I love The Strand in Townsville for it's views of Magnetic Island,cafes and restaurants.Yongalla Lodge has an attractive Queenslander frontage.The spacious room had wooden floor boards and furniture.Was given a nice welcome and found the room and bathroom clean.My room was serviced daily.Yongalla Lodge is only a short walk from the local shopping,cafes and restaurants.

A modern hotel in the centre of Townsville. Large suite and everything worked well. Very helpful staff. We used the hotel car park at $15 as all the car parks on the street were taken. Just a very short walk so no problem at all. Breakfast at cafes attached was freshly cooked and very good.

The feel of the property was relaxed The staff were very friendly and accommodating The hotel and facilities were beautiful and kept very clean Central to the ferry and minutes from the main streets

this property is directly located at The Strand; the standard room we had for our stay was of sufficient size and clean; parking onsite is free; we really appreciated the helpful and friendly staff

Great position on the night club strip in Townsville cbd. Fab decor.Great bar and cafe. Different being in a YHA, but a better experience than some 4 star Hotels I've stayed at.

Everything was wonderful, within walking distance of the strand AND castle hill, nice amenities and facilities, wonderful owner! I would highly recommend this hostel!

Great price, bedrooms, self-contained. Close to all amenities including the strand and the museum and aquarium. Lovely staff. Best experience in Townsville thus far.

Cheap and cheerful hotel. Even though the hotel was very busy and the inner courtyard echoed, it was surprisingly quiet. Walking distance to town. Will stay again.

The hotel was swanky. It was located in a great area not far from a craft beer house. It was very clean, comfortable, and the staff was very friendly.

It’s all you might want from a Townsville location. Close to the strand (and the city), well equipped, clean and very functional.

Walking distance to the strand

Great staff. Nice hotel Quiet

Fabulous place to stay. Spotless clean. Well sound proofed - was a group downstairs that I could hear coming in and thought “oh no” but could not hear a think in the apartment. That’s a rarity! Great to have breeze options and a lovely view to wake up to.

Beds were comfortable and kitchen well set up for independent living. Beach normal for the north which we expected so all was good as we remember from when we lived in the north.

The property was quiet .The facilities excellent . Breakfast was good as were the staff

Easy online booking- easy book in to room. Great value
