Great location with beautiful views of the river. Walking distance to a varied selection of restaurants, cafes and takeaway as well as the supermarket, plus The Lagoon for a swim, the library and art gallery and plenty of parkland. Apartment was clean, spacious and kitchen functional.

We were staying for a local football competition so it was ideally located for our stay, spacious, had everything we needed for a long stay. Only criticism was the shower doors leaked water on the floor a lot.

The property was very clean and the room was a good size. We were right on the end next to the road so it was very noisy, hence 4 stars.

This was a great place to stay with our family. The two bedroom, two bathroom, full kitchen unit was very quiet and comfortable. The beds were not very comfortable - I believe there were broken springs in the mattress, however this is my only complaint. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely outlook over the Ross River. Near main road with some traffic noise. Security is good. Rooms only serviced once per week so you need to ask at reception for additional servicing at no additional cost.

Efficient apartment close to everything we were interested in. Nice to have a washer & dryer but instructions on how to work them would have been appreciated. Had to learn by trial and error. Appreciated the on-site parking but next time we will rent a smaller vehicle. Our large car was a tight fit. Also appreciated the extensive walking paths near the facility. We took long walks every day.

Fabulous location in Townsville.

Great location. We asked to move to another apartment as ours was very noisy. We were close to the hwy. The staff were fabulous and moved us to a much quieter apartment facing the river. We also asked for a late check-out which was accepted. The location is about a 5 minute walk to the Riverway lagoon. A must if you’re staying in the area. It’s free with great facilities.The library is next door with a good cafe.
View from our balcony.

I suddenly became ill. Our stay was to be over the next morning. I wasn't able to travel. We worked it out with the management to stay another day. Stayed in the apartment the whole day sleeping and watching great movies. I would definitely love to stay the next time I'm in Australia
