Nestled on palm-dotted golden sands of the Pacific Ocean and on the edge of Ross Creek, this quiet coastal town offers up the perfect family getaway. Sincere and hospitable, the people of Townsville are as warm as the climate, and there are endless opportunities to do as much or as little as you like on holiday here.
Swim in the beautiful open waters of the Strand Rock Pool and indulge in a picnic or barbecue some seafood while you’re there. This tropical escape is perfect for ice cream by the kids’ open splash zone and water park, or for breathing in the incredible views from Mount Stuart. With a maturing foodie scene, embedded indigenous heritage, and urban street art, there are many treasures to discover across Townsville. The Hervey’s Range Heritage Tea Rooms is a delight worth visiting. Hire a catamaran and sail out to sea, or head to sublime Magnetic Island where lush hinterland hikes beckon your name. The feeling here resembles absolute freedom.
