The Beach House-walk to Pallarenda beach!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property... its open plan, dual living areas and very well equipped kitchen made it very easy to get in the vibe of this well appointed home... The established gardens and large inground pool were enjoyed and we'd definitely stay here again...

Ocean Views + Pool
Had a lovely stay at this house. The view was amazing. Everything was clean and all the bedding smelt nice and washed. The location was great and only 20 minute walk to strand but a bit of a hike up but you get that for the position of the house and the view. Would stay again if I’m Townsville. Thank you for having us. 😊

By the Beach
Very family friendly kids loved the pool and outdoor play equipment that was there.Would stay there again.

Magic Modern Mundingburra Classic Queenslander
Great accommodation, 9 lads stayed here with plenty of room. Pool, pool table and table tennis all a perk.

Naturally Keesing
A beautiful home, idyllic surroundings and very peaceful . The home was beautifully presented. Would happily stay again!

Gwindalan
Was very beautiful but if i’m being very particular there was quite a large stain on the main-bed mattress cover that hidden beneath a show blanket. also found quite a few of the dishes were still dirty.

Marguerites On Magnetic Polynesian House
This is beautiful accomodation and a great location. It is high end quality accomodation with full galley kitchen, modern bathroom/laundry and large living space. Outdoors relaxing deck space, plus pool. Marguerite was the best host greeting us and checking in that we had everything we needed. Loved the friendly pets, chickens, wallabies, curlews. Walking distance to the beach and all the great restaurants. Loved everything. Thank you Marguerite..

House with pool in South Townsville
Jenny’s place had everything we needed. It was very clean and tidy. The fridge and freezer were spotless - like brand new! Not that we needed any assistance from Jenny as she has thought of everything but she was very responsive when we did communicate at check in and check out. Thank you Jenny for a great stay.

Rosalita, Picnic Bay
Very clean and modern unit attached to the owner’s house. Rod was very helpful and responsive in getting me sorted and checked in. The unit is super modern and is well equipped with any appliances and amenities you might need. It’s located down a quiet street, within walking distance to the bus stop and local cafes, with a walking track to a lookout very close by. Cannot express enough how welcoming Rod was and how homely the unit feels. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay over at the island.

House on the fringe of the CBD.
I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Railway Estate. The location was perfect, quiet, close to the river, and just minutes from Townsville CBD, The Strand, and the stadium. The house was clean, well maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay including air conditioning and a fully equipped kitchen. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making check in easy and stress free. It’s a great base for anyone visiting Townsville for work or leisure. I’d definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxed and convenient stay in Railway Est

Picnic bay retreat
The location was lovely and quiet with only 1 neighbor who was lovely, the kookaburra's were amazing and a short walk to the beach. The house itself is lovely with all that you could ask for, we highly recommend this stay, thankyou to our host, we will be back.

Lilac BeachHouse
From the moment we arrived at Lilac House, we felt right at home. The space was open and inviting. The house had ample amenities and is perfect for an island getaway. The hosts were very accommodating and very responsive to messages in the lead up and during our stay Thanks Kylie 🏝

Cooinda Nelly Bay
My guests and I absolutely loved staying at Kehley's place! It looks exactly like the photographs, it was clean and is in a great location. Kehley was easily contactable and a lovely host. Will definitely book again in the future 🙂

Tree house at Alma Bay
Beautiful bushland surrounds with little wallabys and birdlife. Kitchen had most items that you would require. Main bed was great quality and very comfortable ( didn’t sleep on single beds). Plenty of toilet paper and bathroom toiletries. We really enjoyed our stay.

Arcadia Beachfront Cottage
This Home is truely a home away from home. From the outside the home really gives you a beach hoilday. The house is old at heart with a modern touch. This is how i would explain this home . Then you enter the home with such a open, yet cosy feeling. Bed rooms are perfect size and space for the amount of bed provided. My kids were very empressed with the automatic blinds. Access to kayaks was amazing and being 3 houses down from the snokel hire was even more convenient. Further down the street is the local pub and swimming nets, convenient store. Honestly the location is perfect. Close to everthing. The beach is right across the road which is amazing watching the sunrise from front porch. Overall worth the stay.

Our family had a wonderful stay! Fantastic property and facilities, the pool was an amazing plus and was a great place to unwind and relax. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Large Family home in paradise!
The perfect place to stay for an island getaway with a group of friends. The space was perfect for a big group! Great amenities, amazing location - short walk to the beach and right across the road from the shops. Easy communication with the host and immediately felt at home. 10/10 stay.

River View Haven
It was a really great stay. The welcome pack was a pleasant surprise and the property was really well presented throughout. We were there for work, so unfortunately we were getting home late and leaving early, but it was nice to have a secure yard and storage for our work tools and vehicle. We even saw someone catch a fish in the lake out the back!
