Great hostess, Chris, was filling in for her vacationing sister. Very warm and welcoming. Gave us great advice on what to see and do during our limited time in Townsville. The motel was very clean, comfortable and in a safe, walkable neighborhood. It was quiet and provided free parking at our door. Our room was spacious and well-appointed and everything worked.

    Location was great, we only stayed due to a fairly substantial accident on the road, we were delighted by the room and especially the beds they were amazing... we'll have to come back though as we did not get to explore the area at all.
