Our online booking was overlooked. After a 4 hour drive, we were very disappointed to be downgraded on arrival from an executive family room to a standard room. The lodge manager gave us excuses and blame instead of taking accountability for their mistake! We were charged for the executive room price on arrival. The Air Con unit was disgusting! Filters hadn't been cleaned for at least 12 months! The inside of the AC unit was completely blackened and mouldy. It obviously hadn't been serviced for over 12 months, so despite the hot weather, we didn't use it at all due to health risk. The walls in our room were filthy! We lodged a complaint the next morning and were given another standard family room with a clean Air Con unit but offered no discount! The property and rooms are very dated and basic. No stove or oven in the room, portable electric element for cooking. Located very close to The Strand Waterfront, and Supermarket. This was our first time visiting Townsville! We don't recommend staying here and we definitely won't be staying again!

Excellent location

Virtually on The Strand, just past the amazing Bayan trees. Spacious room, good shower, with extra touches : crockery and cutlery, and a microwave oven. Our room was up some steep stairs, but there are other, less precipitous rooms too.

I had gone away with my family and enjoyed it. I'm just not too sure if someone other than myself had entered the room while I had gone out for the day. Other than that staff were very hospitable and friendly and were extremely happy to help when needed so I thank them and I'll love to return back. Also pet friendly my dog was extremely happy during her stay also.
