The location was good in that it was close to cafes and the strand but we had a room with a water view and it was very noisy because of the traffic on the strand. The room needs a refurishment. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Apartment overlooked the Strand with ocean view. Air conditioning was wonderfully cool during the day but could not be adjusted at night.

Good morning and thank you for the kind review. We are very fortunate to be in such a great location and we have excellent house keepers who keep the motel spotless.

5 out of 5

An absolute treat, right on the strand in Townsville. This was such a cheap option and I was only in town for one night on business, so I had very low expectations, but Waters Edge is fabulous. Heaps of cafes and restaurants one block away (and a Coles), right on the Strand, pool and snack bar options downstairs, book exchange. The apartments are basic (I stayed in a studio) but it had a balcony overlooking the sea, small kitchen and large bathroom and tonnes of room to move around. Definitely would stay again.

Great location on the Strand, close to the Pub, takeaways, restaurants, cafes and taxi rank. Well priced. The studio was very clean and pleasing, comfy and clean bed and a small balcony. Free underground parking is great. Nice reception area. Unfortunately the shower didn't work well but hopefully that will be attended to. Will stay again.
