Garbutt Holidays from AU$662

Great location one (1) street from The Strand. Knew the location as I did live in Townsville for nine (9) years. Check in done by phone getting a number to enter via keypad. Had a carport to park in my hire car - so no parking on the street. Property was like living at home in a house and not a cramped hotel/motel room. Will stay again for sure.

Would likely stay again considering the location, convenience and general style of the apartment. Spacious and roomy 2 bedroom modern styled apartment with high ceilings. Bathroom plus ensuite on main with seperate laundry room. Well equiped for a long stay. Good outlook to the NW. it was useful to find a guide booklet with all the appliance instructions. Car park has very reasonably sized spaces with easy access, although one needs to make many turns to reach the higher levels. While the apartment had many newer features there were a number of minor maintenance needs that hopefully are on the to do list. The most significant the sliding blinds on the NW facing patio doorways were missing sections and not all interlocking as per new requiring some care when handling and not fully closing off the glass. We were not a fan of the style of modern low backed lounges provided, considering our less than youthful bodies. The outlook of the apartment provided in the complex will vary depending on the floor (up to 20) and whether facing the NW, NE or SE. Worth confirming prior to booking. Cannot say how our appartment compares with any others offered in the complex.

The location was great . The bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on avoid level 2 room 8 . It was as hard as a rock , perhaps reception could have mattress toppers on hand should you need it which would have made all the difference from a good stay to a great stay .

Room was spacious and clean. The staff was very helpful and guided us by providing maps for the area. Staff was very courteous. The buffet breakfast had a good variety and spread however the menu was the same on all days of our stay.
