Awesome motel with lovely staff. View from the room was amazing and was quiet at night.

Bryton Australia

Owner and staff were very very helpful as friendly.

Keith Australia

Liked it all including the staff!, pool & the fantastic view across the bay! Our kitchen window also included a view of the rock aswell. We were stayed for New Years (somewhat unexpectedly) but couldn't have been happier, keeping in mind that this is not a 6 star resort of course :)

Clare Australia

Friendly staff, good facilities and services and affordable price in Townsville!

Wong Australia

The rooms have been beautifully redecorated since I was last here. The ocean view was spectacular as always and it was so relaxing sitting on the balcony having wine with my partner. The room kitchen was well equipped as I dislike eating out all the time. It was cooler than every where else I went in Townsville too.

Toni Australia

Great breakfast. Nice friendly hosts. Great location

Les Australia

No frills room, but great views, even from the bed. Comfortable beds and quiet location.

Noela Australia

The view, quiet location and amenities Great to find the old style self contained kitchen with a good sized fridge Older style under improvement but would highly recommend, clean, comfortable with a sea breeze

Melinda Australia

Comfortable and spacious rooms Friendly and helpful manager Basic cooked breakfast available.

Stewart Australia

Quiet, gorgeous ocean views, friendly hosts We will go back 🤓
