Oaks Townsville Hotel
Very comfortable and spacious room. Quiet away from the hustle of main restaurants and shops, but a short 5 to 10 minute walk to them. Nice pool and great service.

Allure Hotel & Apartments
Room was tidy, I had after hours check in and everything was as explained which made it super easy. The only downside was the room had no balcony but when booking all images appeared to show rooms with one so that was a little disappointing.
