"This property is in a great position a short walk from the Strand. It is quiet and well appointed. It was ideal for my family and I to have as a base to attend a family wedding. One thing…although it is advertised as having 5 beds, the 5th is a trundle which would need to be set up in the living room. It is also up a flight of stairs so not ideal for anyone with a significant physical disability. Communication with the host was excellent. Really, when what you need is a base to do things from...

Top Nelly Bay Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Townsville by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We can’t fault the hotel & the staff. Staff welcomed us, room was clean & had everything we needed plus. Room Is a little small although sufficient for a nights stay. It is disappointing at the cost simply because a crowd drawing event was in town the night we stayed. Checking for the following weekend the price is $450/night less than what we paid. We respect dynamic pricing however this was over the top & greedy."

Island Leisure Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this place! Clean, quiet, spacious apartment and friendly, helpful staff. It's in a great position, right by the beach plus only 10 - 15 mins walk from the ferry although it's better to catch the reliable bus service with all your luggage. The rock wallabies at dusk just down the road are a must see. I will be back."

Shambhala Retreat Cottage 2 a peaceful place intended for rest and relaxation.

10/10 Excellent

"This place is most suitable for travellers looking for a quiet place to rest in while on Maggie island. My friend and I stayed 3 nights and we loved it! It's cute, clean, tranquil and has everything you need. It's a bit old and the fridge wasn't working properly but we never mentioned that to the host. Was nice to stay in a not-for-profit place too. Location is good. Close to bus stop to ferry and getting around. It's in Nelly Bay so car hire companies will pick you up from there, depending who you rent from. If you're looking for nightlife stay at Horseshoe Bay. This spot is very quiet. The shower is semi outdoors which was a novelty."

NEW! Dacha #2. First Class Luxury Waterfront Villa

10/10 Excellent

"One of the most beautiful properties I've stayed at in Australia. The house is perfect for a group getaway and the location is beautiful and close enough to walk to stores and coffee shops. I highly recommend it for group holidays."

13 Sextant Drive

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was everything we had hoped for. A nice quirky house with excellent outside areas. A few minutes walk down to the sea front, a quite and relaxing area with a huge back garden for our three dogs to run around in. An excellent wood fired pizza stand at the bottom of the road (Thu, Fri and Sat) and easy access to the main road to start your adventures. The kitchen is pretty new with a brand new dishwasher. All the crockery, pots, pans and cooking utensils are provided. Nice comfortable beds which made our stay even better. We highly recommend this house and we will return again in the future."
