Pleasantly surprised ! We had a private room which was great, had a full size fridge and good size bathroom. There was a cold water refiller which is always nice at a hostel. Kitchen only had 2 bowls other than that we had a great stay !

The rooms themselves are nice and clean (we stayed in a private double) however it was let down by its poor communication and lack of staff. Prior to arriving we rang and emailed multiple times about instructions for late check in but no reply until we chased. Also no-one told us when we stored our bags that you would not be able to access them between 12-2pm! We had a bus at 1pm and the receptionist had not told us about this when storing the bag, plus there are no signs about this anywhere! This was very stressful and AGAIN no-one picked up the phone when ringing the out of hours number.

Great for solo travellers

A great affordable option. 10-15 minute walk to the Strand and Ferry with convenient bus routes nearby. The kitchen, laundry and social areas are well kept up and had everything I needed for my stay. My only complaint was the construction work that was going on at the time, which wasn’t mentioned online before I booked my stay, and resulted in several bathrooms being unavailable and I had a circular saw running right outside my window as early as 7 in the morning multiple days. Check in and out were easy and the AC in the rooms was more than sufficient. Overall great if travelling by yourself when you don’t want to cash out for an expensive hotel

The guesthouse has a friendly atmosphere with a young, multicultural clientele. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. I liked having a fridge in my room. It was great that they provided a free shuttle to the ferry terminal. Some of the communal areas need a revamp.

Convenient location great kitchen.

Well maintained, with lots of space to hang out near reception, next to the kitchen, outside the kitchen, also books corner. Delightful surprise with filtered water, kettle, coffee sachets and tea bags at reception. Lots of fridge and shelf space for food storage. The 4 bed female room with its own bathroom and toilet was neat and tidy. May have been better with more storage space.

Overall it was ok for a backpacker. I was very disappointed with the noise at night. Was hard to go to sleep. The never ending talking and laughing after midnight, we finally went to sleep at 0300hrs. That was when the talking finally stopped

We are mature ladies. We walked through the door Ricardo helped us with are large bags to next level 3 levels no lift. It’s basic very clean SO WORTH THE MONEY. The new owners have had this property under a month we were there 4 days and there were shelves being put up the rooms were being decorated the swimming pool should be open in a month. Townsville is very up and coming and anyone young you can walk to most places. Free shuttle to ferry to magnetic island. Taxi and shuttle are very reliable.
