The Palmer Collective
We stayed 3 times at The Palmer. The attached Restaurant was quick, efficient and had some healthy and some decadent options. The rooms and ammenities are basic but comfortable. The free laundry facilities were nice but got a bit crowded for mid trip washing.

Oaks Townsville Hotel
Very comfortable and spacious room. Quiet away from the hustle of main restaurants and shops, but a short 5 to 10 minute walk to them. Nice pool and great service.
