Church House - Townsville home with a twist
Welcome to Church House. A recently renovated 1920's Baptist Church for you to call your own. The apartment is at the rear of the Church proper (which now houses an architectural design studio). You have your own private entrance exclusively for ChurchHouse. Thick brick walls separate the apartment from the office and ensure peace and quiet during your stay. Our inner-city location means that you will hear some traffic noise - ear plugs are available upon request should you require.
