Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Castle Hill?
The best areas to stay in Castle Hill, Queensland, are generally around the base of the hill, particularly in the areas bordering the Townsville City Centre and North Ward.

The Townsville City Centre offers excellent convenience for visitors. Hotels here are typically within walking distance of the Strand, the city's popular beachfront promenade, and the ferry terminal for Magnetic Island. Flinders Street East is a key area within the city centre, known for its dining options and its proximity to the new stadium. It's a great base for those who enjoy having amenities and transport links close by.

For couples looking for a relaxed yet well-connected stay, North Ward is a superb choice. This residential area directly borders the foot of Castle Hill and runs alongside the Strand. You'll find a mix of boutique hotels and serviced apartments with easy access to beachfront walks, ocean pools, and various cafes and restaurants along the Strand. It offers a slightly quieter atmosphere than the immediate city centre but still keeps you within easy reach of all major attractions.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Castle Hill hotel for you.

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Booking an Expedia hotel and flight package is another great way to save, where bundling can result in significant savings. *Excludes taxes and fees.
