Staying here was like coming home to close family members. Iva was extremely service minded and Russell has apparently worked as a chef at Sheraton and his own restaurant for many years, which we could tell. The food was delicious and everything was very comfortable. Bonus points for them speaking Swedish rather fluently.

Classique B&B is the perfect demonstration that, in terms of hospitality, the experience of your hosts counts above everything. The place itself, an original queenslander, is worth the visit ; it is now unfortunately in an urban environment, which lets in a certain level of street and traffic noise that cannot be avoided by this type of historic timber construction....

Stayed here in November but only now have had time to enter our review. What a lovely warm welcome we received. Russell was on hand with a much needed cup of English tea. We couldn't decide where to eat and Russell, not only suggested the venue, but drove us into town as well. Room was lovely, clean and spacious and... More

Thank you Iva and Russell for such a wonderful stay at your beautiful B&B. The upgrade to the Gold Room was just lovely and the bed was so comfortable.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Townsville. Iva and Russell are the best hosts one can wish for. Due to traffic jams we arrived quite late at the B&B, but they were very hospitable, and were more than happy to prepare our dinner a bit later. The food was great, perfectly grilled meat and tasteful sidedishes. The room... More

We stayed only one night in Classique and wished we had stayed longer. Iva and Russell were friendly and had a quality of attention to our needs without being intrusive. The house, of which they were rightly proud, was spacious and beautifully maintained. We had a room at the back of the house, which had a generous sized bed, ensuite... More

Russell and Iva make wonderful hosts and run their B & B in the old style where guests are treated like part of a family.

Classique is a beautiful old ‘Queenslander’, the sort of houses northerners lived in before the arrival of air conditioning; weatherboard with wide verandas, and raised off the ground to enable cool air to circulate. Eva and Russell – ironically both from cooler climes in the northern hemisphere – have kept this tradition alive by restoring and maintaining the house to... More
