When is the best time to go to Stuart?

The best time to visit Stuart, Queensland, is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, the weather is typically sunny with lower humidity and cooler temperatures, making it much more comfortable for exploring the region's outdoor attractions. You'll find clear skies and pleasant conditions for activities like visiting the Billabong Sanctuary or exploring the nearby national parks. The wet season, from November to April, brings higher humidity, heavy rainfall, and the possibility of tropical cyclones. While the landscape can be lush and green, some roads and attractions might be affected by flooding, and the increased humidity can be less comfortable for some travellers.

Top Stuart Hotel Reviews

Aquarius on the Beach

8/10 Good

"The room had recently been renovated and was done so tastefully. The views of the strand and Magnetic Island were great. most things were walking distance, a great place to stay!!"

The Ville Resort - Casino

10/10 Excellent

"A bit too expensive with no microwave and the bar fridge was jammed packed with booze, could not fit your own drinks in. For a person who doesn't drink that was very annoying. If they tone down on trying to manipulate people from buying their products, will it smashed in your face, I would have stayed their again."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

8/10 Good

"I booked this hotel because I really wanted somewhere with a great view, and it definitely did not disappoint! The **view was easily my favourite part of the stay**, along with the **rooftop pool**. I enjoyed the hotel so much that I even created a TikTok video about my stay. JP Collectables & Travel. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. They weren’t overly modern or luxurious, but they were simple and had everything we needed. The staff were great and very helpful. My friend had an issue with the air conditioning in their room, and the staff did their best to get the problem sorted. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. If you’re looking for a hotel with **amazing views and a great rooftop pool**, I would definitely recommend it!"

Oaks Townsville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Reception girl - Carolin was so friendly when we checked in, and her smile was very welcoming to the establishment, which was refreshing along with the cost of the room being reasonably priced. Great view all the requirements in the room stoves etc. Clean room and bathroom. Look forward to staying again."
