Book a Nelly Bay Cottage

"A charming rarity, set in beautiful tropical gardens with glimpses of rock wallabies and bush stone curlews a plenty. The room was spacious, super clean and very comfortable. A large guest swimming pool was an extra bonus, too. Communication with the host was great. The accommodation was accessible by an easy walk during the day or a 2 minute trip on the local bus day or night, which runs on a regular timetable."

"The hotel was in a great spot on the strand. Handy to restaurants and pubs. Great views of the beach and Maggie island. The staff were friendly. The rooms need some maintenance paint new bathroom and furniture. Price was good."

"Nice spot, good price "

"The cleanliness and overall condition of this property fall well below any reasonable standard and are genuinely shocking. Given the cost of the stay, the extent to which the property appears dilapidated and poorly maintained is entirely unacceptable."

"We were in Townsville for 3 nights to attend a rugby league game at Queensland Country Bank Stadium. We had flown to Townsville and so intended to walk or catch local buses for any sightseeing. This proved a great choice as we could walk to Sealink Ferry terminal to catch the ferry to Magnetic Island and walk to the Stadium. We were across the road from the North Queensland Museum and a short walk over the bridge to the Maritime museum. The information centre is about a 10 min walk along Flinders street and the volunteers were very obliging with bus route maps and suggestions for things to do in the area. Rambutan rooftop bar has great options for dining at night at reasonable prices. Through the week the area seems very quiet as there are a lot of unoccupied buildings from the 1920's - 1940's, Friday and Saturday nights are very busy as some of these buildings now house nightclubs etc. There was a bit of noise on the Friday we stayed but it did not worry us. The main shopping centre is about 25min away by bus. The staff at Rambutan were very obliging and I would definitely stay here if I was in Townsville to attend an event at the Stadium."

"The rooms are excellent . Great service and views from the rooftop bar. Would recommend Ardo for anyone wanting a relaxing stay"

"The pool was lovely, and the breakfast was delicious. "

"Very easy walk from the units to the beach. Loved the walk to the helipad where we feed to rock wallabies each morning. Easy walk to a lovely restaurant, general store and bottleo"

"Clean and spacious rooms; good location"
