Billabong Sanctuary
9.0/10 (105 reviews)
Cuddle a koala, hold a snake and hand-feed cassowaries and wallabies at this interactive sanctuary that protects native wildlife on the shores of the billabong.
The room was modern, well sized and the bed was super comfy after a long day travelling/working.
I dined at Terasu which was fantastic! Highly recommend the Kingfish Cervice!
I also went to the rooftop bar and although the weather was overcast and incredibly windy, the view was fantastic. I would love to come back and enjoy this bar on a day when the sun is shining and it's not blowing a gale!

What a hidden gem in Townsville! We absolutely loved our stay at Victoria Street Boutique Hotel. Every little detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the luxe shower products to the complimentary local craft beers in the mini bar on arrival. Such lovely touches that make the stay feel extra special. Highly recommend this beautiful boutique hotel to anyone visiting A standout stay that truly exceeds expectations. We can’t wait to return!

Close to supermarket, restaurants, cafes, ferry and buses. The only part that isn’t great is the location can get a bit touristy - being right next to the ferry. It’s also a 10 minute bus ride to a swimming beach and the buses only leave once an hour. However everything else is great!

Loved our one-night stay for my birthday. Had drinks and dinner next door at new sister property, Ardo in the lively rooftop bar. The room was comfortable with 2 double beds. The next day we enjoyed lounging in the lovely pool area and my daughter shouted me a wonderful massage at the hotel spa. Last time I stayed here was 32 years ago. It’s wonderful how they’ve kept such an old building modernised and contemporary. Top spot with beautiful views over to Maggie Island.

Beautiful sea views and surrounds. Very spacious apartment style rooms.. Quiet and relaxing scenery..
On a side note on checkout, reception staff could use a smile. Found the receptionist to be fairly bland. On checkout, advised her that the fan in the main bedroom and lounge room weren't working and was basically told " oh ok, will let someone know" that's it.. No apology, no anything .. Then continued with what ever she was doing.. She didn't ask how my stay was or anything. So a lil...

Staff were very friendly and professional at the check in. The cabin was lovely and clean. They have a bbq at the park too so made it cheaper for me to be able to cook dinner as single mum with kids. We really enjoyed our time there. There is also washing machines and dryers available to use. The pool and all amenities were lovely and clean. Thank you again for having myself and my children there.

The staff were absolutely amazing. Felt like we had the pool practically to ourselves the entire time. Eat every dinner in the poolside restaurant, with fresh generous sized meals.
Great location, very short walk to the ferry terminal.
