Aquarius on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and room with gorgeous view but the showers are absolutely woeful."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Townsville

8/10 Good

"I booked this hotel because I really wanted somewhere with a great view, and it definitely did not disappoint! The **view was easily my favourite part of the stay**, along with the **rooftop pool**. I enjoyed the hotel so much that I even created a TikTok video about my stay. JP Collectables & Travel. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. They weren’t overly modern or luxurious, but they were simple and had everything we needed. The staff were great and very helpful. My friend had an issue with the air conditioning in their room, and the staff did their best to get the problem sorted. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. If you’re looking for a hotel with **amazing views and a great rooftop pool**, I would definitely recommend it!"

Oaks Townsville Hotel

"Reception girl - Carolin was so friendly when we checked in, and her smile was very welcoming to the establishment, which was refreshing along with the cost of the room being reasonably priced. Great view all the requirements in the room stoves etc. Clean room and bathroom. Look forward to staying again."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Shelly Beach?

The best time to go to Shelly Beach is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is consistently pleasant and ideal for outdoor activities.

During these months, you can expect warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C, and lower humidity. This makes it great for enjoying the beach, swimming, snorkelling, or exploring the coastal walking trails. The ocean is generally calm, offering excellent conditions for water sports.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the comfortable climate for romantic strolls along the shore or dining outdoors without the intensity of the summer heat. The cooler evenings are also lovely for enjoying a drink with a view.

Families will find this period particularly suitable as the stable weather allows for uninterrupted beach days and exploring the rock pools at low tide.

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 Shelly Beach hotel for you.
