The host was amazing and great at communicating everything and quickly answered questions. The view was amazing and all the beds and furniture very comfortable. I loved there were beach towels and sunscreen, detergent for the laundry and bottled water in the fridge waiting for us along with some snacks on the table that everyone loved. There were plenty of pans to cook from and I loved the stove. When going out the Odessey below and pavilion across the street were great places to eat along with the happy place and longboards half way down the strand. We can’t wait to book again when we come back to visit my daughter at JCU and again it was fantastic so much was provided as we came with limited items as we flew in from the USA.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The apartment is stunning in every way and offers three spacious terraces directly on the Townsville waterfront, with breathtaking views of the sea. Waking up to this scenery every day was simply amazing. The apartment is exceptionally comfortable, nicely furnished, and thoughtfully equipped down to the smallest detail – everything is of high quality. We felt completely at home from the very first moment. A special mention goes to the hosts, who were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. They were always available, responded quickly, and made sure all our wishes were fulfilled. We truly felt cared for and appreciated as guests. This apartment is an absolute gem, and we can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect stay. We would love to come back anytime!
