We love staying at The Aquarius. The upper floor rooms have an amazing view of the sea and Magnetic Island. The rooms are comfortable, have kitchenette facilities snd the property is a short walk to all of the bars and restaurants in town. This is our go to place for accommodation in Townsville. Very happy to recommend.

I have been going to the Aquarius for 15 years, at least 2-3 times a year. This is normally for work, which is one of the reasons I like the Aquarius - once I leave the CBD and sit on the balcony with one of the best views in Townsville, all stress dissapears. The service is always attentative. Overall the rooms are clean, comfortable and regularly service.
