Location / convenience: Near the beach, a little way out of town. Note that the address is given as 74 The Esplanade, but the entrance is off Primrose Street – this caused our GPS some problems. Check-in: Quick, efficient and friendly Room: • Size / layout: Standard room, but obviously recently refurbished with a wonderful funky feel. • Cleanliness: Very... more

We stayed last few days of March. We had been led to believe it was close to strand etc but a taxi cost us over $12 to get any where. Our room was upstairs and the stairs were step and difficult for bags. Our room had been refurbished to a very high standard. Breakfast was $20 each per day. The... more

We stayed two days in Townsville having driven from Port Douglas. We actually enjoyed our stay in the resort. There has been a lot of money spent in updating the promenade and it shows as it has a nice clean feel about it. We enjoyed eating in restaurants along the beach and really enjoyed swimming in the lagoon pool. We... more

Stayed there last weekend for Fri/Sat. I can apprecaite it is an old hotel, and in the process of renovation, so here are my thoughts. Positives: * Room: the superior room I had booked has been recently renovated and was lovely. Flat screen TV, comfie bed and pillows, nice bathroom. * Reception: really helpful and lovely, smooth checkin. * Landscaping... more

We felt the resort was pretty great on the whole. The rooms are very modern and well equipped. My only concern was the noise, we were initially allocated a room which was not suitable, but were moved on request. The reception staff are very nice. The location is a little out of town, there is a courtesy bus, but stops... more

This lovely little resort is one of the nicest spots in Townsville, close to the beach (mangrovey but nice for a walk) and a short taxi ride into town (or a 45min stroll along the strand). The palm-fringed pool and bar/restaurant have the feel of an oasis, while the rooms we stayed in were clean, bright, comfortable and well-serviced. That's... more

I have just returned from Seagulls, where I stayed with my two sons on a sporting weekend. I was so impressed. The rooms were so clean that they sparkled and were modern and fresh. The resort was peaceful and my boys had a great time at the tennis court and basketball hoop. All the sporting equipment is free. The lagoon... more

we chose seagulls after a bit of internet research. as previously stated, it is a wee bit out of town, but we had a car so no problem and its an easy 5 mins from the airport. They do offer a shuttle bus, or its a nice walk along the seafront. our room was clean and spacious, although not the... more

We travelled to Seagulls as part of a three centre stay in Oz. We have definitely found our home. The hotel was lovely and the staff really helpful and friendly. The hotel is set in tropical gardens with a pool and restaurant - which was absolutely excellent both for breakfast and dinner. A little out of the town, the hotel... more
