It was the last place available on a very busy weekend

Stuart Australia

Excellent 1 night stay. Quiet, clean, comfortable, only sounds I heard outside were from Black Cockatoos & Green Tree Frogs which is always a pleasure to hear! You can’t beat the sounds of nature!

Peter Australia

Pet friendly for a start. We were unsure of what to expect but were so pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness especially and the most comfortable bed. The wi-fi was strong. We would certainly stay here if we ever go to Townsville again.

Geoff Australia

Location suited my need for competing in sport for the week end.

Gary Australia

The ladies that greeted me - make this motel. Soooo sweet and thoughtful- even gave me a home grown paw paw! Told me a really quick way to get to the strand. The towels were so soft and smelt fantastic! Highly recommend! Oh ps we had a small dog with us!

Jennifer Australia

Quiet room, little highway traffic noise but no problem for me. Lovely owner. Nice big room. Hot shower, microwave and toaster. Parking outside room.
