You can’t bet the views and location! We extended our stay as it was so great to wake up across the road from the water. I loved being able to walk to Coles, art galleries, cafes and pubs.

A very basic 3 star motel with a 5 star view in a 5 star location. Worth paying a couple of bucks extra to get a high floor as its a bit quieter and its really all about the view.

This hotel is perfect for seniors. The views over the bay are legendary, the rooms have everything needed - air conditioning, microwave, crockery, cutlery, washing up gear, balcony. For those who like swimming the Strand central beach is perfect, just over the road.

We stay here as it is the most reasonably priced hotel in Townsville when we go to the rugby league. It is about a 20 minute walk from the stadium which suits us. There are pleaty of dining and breaky options nearby.

Fantastic Location, we did not have a car and it was very easy to walk everywhere from the Aquarius. The view from the Room was magnificent, our Bathroom was a bit dated but clean. A lot of coffee shops, pubs and eating places are very close as well as a beautiful walking path along the beach. Would definitely stay again.

Great location, fantastic view and room had all the essential amenities. Lovely and clean. Easy and pretty walk along g beach to ferry for magnetic island. Only complaint was tried to purchase laundry detergent and machine gobbled up coins with no product. When I explained this to reception, they said not their problem with no offer of refund or detergent.

There are plenty of dining and breaky options nearby. Have been a few rooms and the beds are not always up to standard - some are and others aren't.
