Very Good

Love to stay here, it’s so convenient with great staff and amenities. Great upstairs bar and the food is top notch. Room was great and love the under cover parking. Definitely my place to stay when in Townsville
Our 5 night stay was great we have stayed here before basically has everything under the one roof if you are looking to totally relax ,
Great food bar & pool staff were polite & friendly !!!!
Great stay for the price point!
It’s comfortable but a little worn and needing some love. Welcome drink and late checkout (for a fee) were both welcomed.
As it’s on a main street it gets a lil noisy at night, but if you have earplugs you'll sleep through. Great vibe for sporting events though, was here for state of origin.

Very cool place, room was comfortable, dinner was tasty and good value, would stay there again
Rambutan is our first choice for our frequent visits to Townsville. The rooms are well appointed and always very clean. The location is very convenient with a range of decent restaurants in walking distance. The restaurants on site are very handy for when we just want to relax by the pool too. The standout for this hotel is the staff, especially Ryan on reception. He always makes us feel so welcome, and he is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure we have a comfortable stay.
Room was clean and big enough for a few days stay. The pool area was nice and the restaurant was lovely, they do different themed nights for food which are a very good price! We got 3 tacos and a beer for $14 and the standard menu was great and a good price. Location was brilliant was about a 8 minute walk to the sea link ferry terminal to magnetic island. Overall we had a great stay.
