Ocean Views + Pool
We love that the place has it's own pool and is walking distance to Flinders Street (where there's a lot of restaurants) Will definitely stay again the next time we're in Townsville. -Hansel & Noel

Home Away from Home
Lisa's place was great, had everything we needed as a group of colleagues staying on a work trip. Comfortable, in a nice quiet location. Recommended to anyone looking to stay.

Architecturally designed retreat - Horseshoe Bay
We loved Richard’s beautiful home. The space has been thoughtfully designed and is beautiful and practical, with the two pavilions offering space and privacy. Beautifully clean and in such a handy location to town. Everything about this has the wow factor. We loved the pool, the indoor-outdoor aspects of the decks hallway. Thank you for hosting us. Highly recommended!

Modern house with pool near Strand!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Magical Stay! From the moment we arrived, this Airbnb felt like something out of a dream. The setting was serene and beautiful, with lush surroundings that made us feel completely immersed in nature. It was almost like I imagined living in a fairy treehouse might feel. Very inspiring! The highlight? Besides the obvious shown in photos in ad - A family of frogmouth owls perched in the tree by the pool, adding an enchanting touch to our mornings and evenings. Don’t get me started on the incredible background noise of the little waterfall running into a stream that can be heard when relaxing on the back deck. 😍 The home itself was impressive, very thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host Wendy was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a stay that’s peaceful, unique, and filled with natural beauty, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

Magic Modern Mundingburra Classic Queenslander
We had 3 families spanning 3 generations to celebrate Xmas. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 5 kids. With 3 bathrooms, there were no issues using all 3 showers at once. Still plenty of pressure, never ran out of hot water. plenty of space to spread out, it was great to migrate from inside to outside to the pool, to the pool room and repeat in reverse! Would thoroughly recommend!

ISLAND ADVENTURE HOLIDAY HOUSE
Great location and ideal for large families. Quick walk to the local pub and the beach. Have recommended it to other large families.

House with pool in South Townsville
Jenny’s place was just what we needed not far from an elderly parent. Also great location as the city and restaurants are only minutes away by car or uber. Jenny was very nice and super responsive. Thanks again Jenny

Duplex Golf Course Views Unit 4
This is a neat & comfortable unit that shows the owners put a lot of thought into preparing it for guests i.e. providing essentials & having tantalising essential scents around the unit. Definitely will be a repeat client in the future as so much care & effort has been put in to ensuring their guests stays are as comfortable as if they were in their our own home.

Magnetic on Mitchell
Highly recommend Tara's place, super fast replies and lovely location. The back door was a bit finicky but otherwise, the whole process was smooth. Place looks just like the photos, you won't be disappointed!

City Central - Walk to Stadium & Restaurants
Lovely apartment, walking distance to ferry terminal and The Strand. Very responsive and helpful host.

Two Bedroom Unit just off The Strand with Wifi
Quiet and safe spot so close to the Strand and everything it has to offer. Yes it is an older place but it was super clean and great value for money. Would love to stay again. Great communication and flexibility when I needed to check in late. Has everything you need and you are one block from the ocean. Walkable to tons of coffee shops, restaurants and Coles.

Beachfront on The Strand, two bedrooms, seaviews
Steve and Bettina’s place was a fantastic location for our 5 day stay. The apartment is as described - clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. It is a great location to restaurants and the Strand as well as nice and quiet! Steve and Bettina were always approachable and responsive with our questions. I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Townsville. Thank you x

Beachfront 2Bedroom Apartment on the Strand+Garage
Great value, clean and comfortable unit right on the front.

Live Like a Local Coastal Home
Alex is a wonderful host, kind and always responsive. Her place is amazing, spacious and has incredible views. Totally recommend.

Quiet Two Bedroom Apartment
This place was fantastic! A rare gem that was bigger than the photos, it suited our needs perfectly. The pool area was relaxing and it was a short walk to the strand and local shops. Mario and Toni were super helpful and responsive, and we had the best time staying there. The apartment was beautiful and we will definitely choose to stay with them again on our next visit to Townsville.

I had an incredible stay with Lisa, everything was perfect. The best place to stay in Townsville. I would come back with great pleasure to visit Magnetic Island if the weather allows it this time 😂 and maybe also cook orher lasagna 😉 Thanks Lisa ☺️

Excellent location and very responsive host, very happy will stay again if its available at the time

Gatehouse By The Gardens
We absolutely loved staying at Leah’s place. It had a very warm and cozy feel and included everything we needed and more. The proximity to the sporting complex for our basketball tournament was perfect and we loved all the little extras Leah had for us including fruit, bread, and snacks. We look forward to staying here again later this year!

Tropical island views of the beautiful Coral Sea
A beautiful and modern apartment with stunning views. All amenities were fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. A cot was setup ready for our baby. Very minor note, the Wi-Fi across Bright Point is ok, but it can be unreliable, particularly in the evenings.

Central South Townsville Unit
This place was great to stay, just a single room with ensuite, perfect for what my friend and I had planned. Quiet place perfect to nap at between activities. Julie-Ann and Sam were very welcoming and accommodating. So close to everything, we scootered and walked everywhere.

Beachside Magnetic Harbour 3 Bedroom Ocean View
This is one of the nicest places we have stayed. The view is amazing and the apartment has everything we needed for a relaxed stay on Magnetic Island.

Modern spacious 1 bedroom executive apartment
Brett was a great host, easy to contact and very friendly, and was flexible with check in/out. Apartment is perfect, close to restaurants, pubs, and supermarket. Great pool and gym in building.
