Wendy Australia

after travelling for four months, I had to go to cairns then wanted to always go to Townsville. andrea and andrea were absolutely SO friendly, helpful, and the house keepers were soooo energetic and friendly! so after a lot of hotels/motels I did not want to leave this place. the bar and restaurant staff are amazing as well! always very busy there but the staff, there are a lot of staff, treat you like royalty. ive already planned a return in august. you can sit outside with your own table and chat to your neighbours, swim in their delicious pool. loved it. cant thank them enough.
