Strand Motel  

On Townsville’s vibrant The Strand in North Ward, this budget-friendly beach motel sits a short walk from The Strand Beach and the Magnetic Island Ferry Terminal. You’re minutes from Queens Gardens, the Museum of Tropical Queensland and the city’s cultural precinct — a good pick for beach-and-city days.

A compact 17-room motel with a warm, no-fuss vibe and air-conditioned rooms. Each unit comes with a kitchenette (fridge and microwave), a flat-screen TV, a desk and a coffee/tea maker, with daily housekeeping for easy stays.

Soak up sun at the outdoor pool or fire up the on-site barbecue grills. Free self-parking (including RV/bus/truck parking), complimentary Wi‑Fi, laundry facilities and luggage storage keep things simple; stroll to the beach for true sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected, and practical touches like express check-out and luggage storage make quick trips smoother.

There’s an on-site restaurant and a coffee shop for casual meals and morning brews. A short walk brings you to local seafood and oyster-focused restaurants for regional flavor.
