The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy instructions to follow and plenty of contact available if we needed it. The room was well presented. Park your car early at night though - the hotel carpark fills up quickly and you’ll end up on the road. ##### Greg W.

Reviewer Comments: Probably the most appalling hotel booking I have ever made. We originally booked at Aquarius, Townsville, via but the booking was intercepted by Holiday Hosting in Townsville which offered a slightly reduced rate. However, Holiday Hosting’s admin + booking + processing + cleaning fees amounted to some 10% of the final base fee for the hotel.Holiday Hosting stated that the accommodation was a self-contained, one bedroom studio apartment. It most certainly was not. The accommodation was a normal hotel room with a microwave oven. The room was crowded with a queen and a single bed, two plastic chairs and a plastic table, with very little space to actually move around. They also boasted of a washing machine. There was no washing machine. In addition, the air conditioning did not work and there was no fan, not even a cheap table fan from the Reject Shop. There were no tissues and for the eye-watering fee of $500 per night I expect a $2 box of tissues. The décor of the room was cheap and nasty.What a mistake to book with this organization, a mistake I shall not be repeating. ##### Paul C.

The lovely lady behind the counter done her job perfectly. Helped me out as I was having troubles with my phone. I stayed at the aquarium few weeks before I booked in with you guys. I will say your room presentation was 10 times better in every way. I will be booking with you guys whenever I’m in Townsville again I promise you that. ##### David B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Very spacious and secure.
