Perfect location looking at ocean across the street. Safe, friendly area with lots of restaurants. Grocery store within walking distance, pharmacy McDonald's. Hotel clean. Small kitchen with full fridge, toaster plunge coffee. Balcony. Strand area is a bit noisy with local traffic going to restaurants, but not bothersome. Great area for walking along boardwalk. Lots of beaches. Market on Fridays. Very clean. perfect spot

Many thanks Bill & Carolyn

This was our first time stay at Bill & Carolyn's unit and found it very comfortable. We have stayed at Aquarius on the Beach before but enjoyed this particular unit as the kitchen was separate which made it all feel much roomier. As stated by others before us, the lower water pressure in the shower was evident but it turned out to be just fine as you got used to it. Nothing to worry about. Thanks again - see you again soon.

Great spot, immaculate living spaces

I was looking for somewhere with a view, a beach, a pool, a comfortable bed and a decent TV etc to chill out in at night. I found the perfect place that was also immaculately clean and had all those little added touches that make it like a home. Added to this my wonderful hosts provided an extra night when I realised I’d stuffed up my next booking at a discounted price! I’ll be staying again! 😊😊😊😊😊

Beach front holiday with stunning views

Enjoy the sound of the waves in this comfortable studio apartment while you gaze at ocean views, including Magnetic Island. You have all the comforts of home, including a separate kitchen area. The ideal location is close to numerous cafes in Gregory Street as well as the restaurants on The Strand in North Ward, Townsville. I have to add that the bed and pillows were very comfortable, as was the air conditioning. We look forward to our next stay there.
