Shoredrive Motel  

On Townsville’s sun-soaked Strand, steps from The Strand Beach and Strand Rockpool. This beach motel is a short drive from the Magnetic Island ferry terminal, close to the airport and just 1 km from the city centre — a handy, family-friendly base for beach and city fun.

Choose from beautifully refurbished 4.5‑star premium ocean-view rooms or classic 3‑star motel-style rooms — single, double, twin, family and self-contained options. Rooms are air-conditioned and warmly decorated with fridges, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles and complimentary tea/coffee. Wake up to cool sea breezes and easy access to the Strand.

Dive into an outdoor pool, stroll straight onto the beach, or fire up the on‑site BBQ area. Free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep things simple. The front desk can book local tours and excursions, and on-site laundry, dry cleaning and luggage storage make longer stays low-effort.

A glass-front conference centre overlooks the Strand with panoramic ocean views and opens onto a large balcony. The space is fully air-conditioned and conference guests have access to complimentary Wi‑Fi — ideal for meetings with a view.

There’s an on-site restaurant and bar for easy meals and casual drinks, plus rooms include tea and coffee provisions. For local flavour, several seafood restaurants including Dynasty Seafood, Watermark Restaurant & Bar and The Pier are a short walk away.
