To be in the heart of the action, stay in Downtown Townsville amid the city’s best bars, shops, and restaurants. This is ideal for those who want to immerse in the bar and nightlife scene and soak up the city vibes. Despite being the city’s commercial centre, Downtown is generally quite chilled and even those looking for a relaxed stay would feel at ease here.
Families might prefer to stay in the North Ward and more specifically, along The Strand. This park, promenade and beach complete with a kids play area provides a very calm and spacious area to enjoy Townsville at a slower pace. Plus, the sea views are pretty gorgeous!
Beach bums, nature lovers, and avid adventurers might prefer to stay on Magnetic Island. Whilst it’s more expensive than staying in Townsville, it offers so much more opportunity for fun and exploration. From your hotel doorstep you can hike, swim, snorkel, sunbathe, and explore the island’s tantalising tropical atmosphere.
