I could so see some surf boards, bikinis and boardies drying around the unit. Its not 5 star but quite comfortable and great for a small family. Good kitchen for home cooking.

A bit old fashioned but it has aircons and ok beds, I would stay there again
I am perhaps one of few people who stayed here during the Christmas and NYE period of 2015/2016. And what an event NYE was. There was, unfortunately, a woman staying a few apartments down from us who at first had three or four visitors and by the time NYE clocked around, half of her tribe had descended on the Townsville Seaside Apartments. She and her family were obviously not known for handling their alcohol in the best of ways. What later ensued was a large brawl spilling across the driveway of the complex and two rather relaxed police officers who came to survey the area long after the tribe had moved it mob style and disappeared into the dark, with great ease as you would expect. No fault of the owner, of course, who never apologized to any of us afterward and sat upstairs calling out to the 5-0 who drove past during the brawl. Because, you know, the police can hear everything over the top of the sea breeze, the rumble of their 4WD engines, radios and so forth. And when the violence subdued, the owners sat on the edge of their motel and said to each other, “These people will never stay here again.” The question is who is at fault here? Is it we white folk who introduced ancient tribes to the spirits of waste molasses, otherwise known as rum, and the froth of barley hops? Is it the woman who was rather sheepish and never left her room for the next four nights after her male friends danced like apes on the concrete? Or is it the police, who were obviously understaffed? Or the owners, who only wanted to capitalize on the tourism boost to Townsville’s economy (which they have a right to – this being the lucky country after all)? I guess we'll never know...3 Stars from me. The view of Magnetic Island is spectacular from the front rooms, even if we were ring side…
We booked this accommodation after having another place fall through at the last minute and leaving us in a bad position unable to return home due to the flooding. They were more than accommodating at the last minute and even arranged an early check in for us. It has everything you could possibly need, unlike the hotel we’d previously been staying in at a much higher rate. It is also much cleaner. It’s the first time I’ve felt comfortable showering away from home. Feels like a home away from home. Amazing location, the crossing to the beach is directly across from the entrance to the property. There’s also a Poké Stop available from our room if anyone reading this plays Pokémon Go.
Location is good. Main bed was very uncomfortable and the two single beds were not long enough for our teenage children. On questioning this we were told the beds were only 2 years old and all the units were the same. Upon requesting a late checkout of half to one hour I was told absolutely no way which was disappointing as I had no vehicle. The units are dated and the bbq area uninviting. The host made us feel it was an inconvenience to be staying there. Plenty more options available for the same money. A disappointing experience for our family.
Stay away. I needed to cancel my booking as my son is very ill. Owner was only concerned that he lost money. I apologised and advised we can't help what has happened and we are devastated as our boy will not be competing in state athletics. We are 3000 out of pocket from flights. He than advised me he is the only one that has missed out as he could of let out our room. I apologised again and he was still very rude. My husband has decided to still fly up with our other son. So we contacted another hotel in the same area who were very professional not like this motel. Very dissapointing considering this is a small family run business I expected alot more. I had no idea that flood victim's were in our room if that is true why did they allow me to arrive earlier I only called 1 week ago. You only have to read the reviews regarding how rude this owner is. You are making out we planned for our son to have measles and be admitted in hospital. Shame on you
