Fantastic accommodation and location

Andy's place was like a home away from home. We were very comfortable and the apartment was well stocked with everything we required during our stay. The supermarket was a short walk as were coffee shops and restaurants. As well as being close to The Strand, it is also in walking distance to Castle Hill's Goat Track if you are feeling energetic! We enjoyed everything about staying at Andy's place and highly recommend it.

Excellent stay/location!

We can't speak highly enough about this property/host! The location was fantastic - just a few blocks walk to the Strand/beach & the grocery store was even closer. The property itself was awesome- clean & airy, plenty of room with towels & handy amenities provided onsite. Andy was a wonderful host. He messaged me a couple of times w/suggestions for restaurants during our stay. When we first arrived there was no water & he jumped in right away to find out why. Turns out it was just a plumber who had inadvertently forgotten to turn water back on to the complex after a repair. But after traveling so far & being tired, Andy was so helpful in getting that rectified ASAP. Highly recommend this property!!

Fabulous apartment in a great location

My family and I stayed at this property for a few days while exploring Townsville. It's in a fabulous location so close to all CBD amenities and the strand and beaches. Has everything you need for longer stays too. We particularly liked that it is the end unit and very spacious.
