Top Horseshoe Bay Hotel Reviews

Seahaven Resort

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and very well presented upon arrival. Pool was fantastic size and conveniently located near room. There was also a small playground on site which was great for the kids. We had daily housekeeping but they only changed the towels beds weren’t made and floor wasn’t cleaned and the restaurant was undergoing renovations so we weren’t able to use it."

Oaks Townsville Gateway Suites

8/10 Good

"Good sized apartment. We had WiFi issues that were capable of being resolved but weren't. River facing apartments suffer from persistent traffic noise which were annoying when using the deck"

Aquarius on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"While visiting Townsville to spend time with my grand children, I chose to spend 5 nights Aquarius. I was not disappointed with anything, I was able to have the children over for a sleepover and they loved the swimming pool and view of the ocean and the pool from our 3rd floor. The staff were happy and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. My room was serviced daily and after busy days it was a pleasure to come home to. I will return again without a doubt. Mandy T GOOMERI QLD."
