What Our Guests Say
Renee
We had the most amazing stay here, the home was beautifully set out with a great parents retreat with the most amazing views. The home was sufficiently supplied with all the necessary items we needed, it was quite the home away from home. We had everything we needed within walking distance and even then didn’t feel the need to leave the house as it was quiet literally like being on a resort. Brandi was an amazing host and so helpful and responsive when we had any questions. We will most definitely be back to stay again in the not so distant future. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!
Alison
The apartment is amazing and very well managed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with nothing to worry about. Great views and convenient location.
Vanessa
We absolutely loved our stay. Location was fantastic so close to the strand. Such a great experience for our first holiday to Townsville.
Cooper
My partner, friends, and I all had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and the host thought of everything. Beds comfy, shower and bath both lovely. 10/10, would definitely recommend.
Sam
Host was excellent always following up and the place was exceptional, excellent view with lots of privacy. The unit was massive with huge cooking stove, though we did not make use of it as there options of dining out. A must stay for all travellers.
Ron
Brandi is an excellent host. She went above and beyond during our stay. Property was clean and airy. Bed was very comfortable. Amazing panoramic views overlooking the Strand with view taking in Magnetic Island and the Strand. Within walking distance to restaurants and cafes with a broad range of different foods. Definitely will stay here again. The best part is that there are other properties in Brandi’s portfolio so there is something for everyone.
Olivia
Loved our few nights at this beautifully presented apartment. Very clean and well presented. Lots of extra bits that made our stay even more enjoyable. Nice large swimming pool within in the complex. Highly recommended.
Shane
Your place was great, spacious and clean. Nice and close to woolworths, pubs and markets. The swimming pool was wonderful, a 2 year olds dream. Everything really was 5* ... Thank you for your hospitality

Beautiful and spacious apartment. The pool is just outside the back door. The apartment is so convenient to the casino and the convention centre. Only a few minutes walk.
Kellie
Great apartment, in a great location! Was a lovely spacious and clean apartment which was perfect for our weekend get away. Definitely would stay again! The host was an excellent communicator and great to deal with.
Helen
Apartment 13 is in an excellent location just across the road from the ferry to Magnetic Island and an easy walk to many cafes and restaurants, and even closer to the casino. The apartment is very clean and spacious with extra space on the patio where we spent a lot of our time. It remained quite cool inside the apartment even though the weather was warm. There is air-conditioning but we found we didn't need it much. There is a lovely pool just a few steps away from the patio yet it still felt quite private. Brandi even allowed us to check in early after our flight times were changed which was much appreciated and got our holiday off to a great start. She replied very promptly to all messages. I look forward to staying again.
Eleanor
Enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is exactly as appears in the photos. Clean and appropriately furnished. Clear instructions for accessing the apartment complex. The pool is an added bonus
Sue
Great apartment. Clean and spacious. Centrally located. Pool at front door which was great . Very Quiet location despite being only 5 mins to town centre Will definitely stay here again. Host communication very good.
Fiona
Great place to stay . 2 swimming pools to choose from and lock up garage . It is an upstairs apartment so not good for elderly or disabilities. Close to Casino and The Strand . To see Townsville properly you need a hire car . Apartment has everything you need including pool towels . Master bedroom ensuite has shower over bath and other bathroom has just a shower etc. great laundry facilities.
Sam
Amazing house in a perfect location and great value for money! Easy walk to the shops or beach, all the facilities you could ask for and more, coffee machine and bbq were very much appreciated. The main bedroom was absolutely beautiful, separate from the main part of the house with ensuite and fantastic views, meant I got some me time while away with the whole family. The weather was hot and very humid but we could always find a comfortable space with ample fans and air conditioners and separate sitting areas to give everyone space if they wanted it. The pool was a hit, the kids were in it every day. A huge outdoor deck to have a morning coffee with a view, a family meal or a relaxing drink of a night. Brandi was a great host, easy to communicate with and very responsive, we’d definitely stay again!
Bronwen
This property was everything and more that we were hoping for on our family holiday. The view is spectacular and the unit was spacious and clean. Fully renovated and far better than the photos showed! We loved every minute of our stay here and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future. Thanks so much to Brandi for making our stay here so amazing!
Sarah
Our stay in this beautifully presented apartment with ocean views has Definitely made our holiday at Airlie Beach more enjoyable.

Robyn
Great apartment plenty of room for a family of six. Had everything we needed and so close to everything on the Strand Casino and Ferry terminal.Highly recommend and Brandi is a great host. Will certainly stay again.
Maggie
This is one of three cosy little properties on the block. It has 3 levels - top level kitchen and living room open up to balcony with tree-top views, middle/ground level has master bedroom and another bedroom with queen bed and a reasonable size family bathroom. The master bedroom ensuite was very tiny, it only has a hand-basin. The third bedroom was in the basement which opens up to the pool and garden outside. We had an enjoyable stay as everything we need were only a few minutes drive away.
Kathy
This apartment was in a great location on the strand, close to restaurants, shops. The apartment was very homely, clean and modern, with plenty of space. Can’t wait to come back.
Rebecca
Very large 3 bedroom apartment with large outdoor seating space. My 2 parents, 2 small children and my husband and I all stayed in this apartment and never felt on top of each other as it is very spacious. The apartment is ground level and has a large private balcony and access straight to the lovely pool area, which made life very easy with small children. Great location, we walked across the road to the ferry terminal and took a day trip to Magnetic Island. It’s also walking distance to the lap pool, children’s water park, coffee, fish and chips/pizza, casino. Kitchen was very well equipped with quality items. Undercover parking was also great.
Kimmy
Great location, unit was amazing, outdoor balcony was perfecting for chilling with fantastic view of Magnetic Island. Thankyou to Brandi for also arranging early check in as we were doing a road trip and this helped us out heaps.
Kerrie
We enjoyed 4 nights in this lovely apartment. It was clean and comfortable.Beautiful modern bathrooms and well equipped kitchen. Easy walk to the Strand for our morning coffee and back for our afternoon swim. Everything you need is close by. Added bonus we could see the fireworks from the balcony on NYE. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect house for family stay or weekend away attending ‘what’s on’ in Townsville. Only a short 10-15min car trip into the city centre. Well appointed and maintained property. Friendly and helpful host made the stay much more streamline.

And it is nice and close to great restaurants and places to go through the day. Looking forward to staying here again in the future. Highly recommended!
Nathan
Thanks heaps brandy. Such a nice place with an amazing view.
Carmela
Great little unit. Has all you need for a short stay or even a long stay with a fully equipped kitchen. Close to shopping centres and not a long drive from Darwin CBD. Unit was spacious, clean and homely. We really enjoyed our stay there even though we got caught in a 3 day lockdown. That being said if you are stuck in a lockdown would recommend this for accomodation as you can cook your own meals, do your laundry and chill out and watch movies on the TV.
Anetta
Thank you Brandi for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment it was clean, easy check in, great location and most of all the little things that was in the apartment made it feel like home away from home for us so thanks again it was just what my family needed.
Anna
The photos don’t do the property justice! We were pleasantly surprised how spacious it was and how much it had to offer in terms of amenities for 5 adults even down to the tea and coffee in the cupboard, which was a nice touch! The location was really central. Brandi was extremely responsive to my messages and the late check out was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be back!

The decor inside is very beatiful and it has a great BBQ and pool This Unit leads right to to best restaurants on the strand like 50 m away! The unit was really great value for money. You can walk everywhere and my morning coffee was only 50 m walk to get The host was really friendly and was great with communication I will try stay there everytime I am back!
Jo-Mari
Great space for a couple. Located between all the best spots at the strand. Beautiful sun rise in the mornings. We enjoyed being so close to all the restaurants.
Bri
What a fantastic spot! Right on The Strand in the thick of some of what Townsville has to offer. The place was perfect for us. After exploring during the days, we just needed a comfy bed to rest our heads and a hot shower with great food and drink amenities a stone's throw away. We stayed down in Townsville to go four wheel driving, our 4wd is convertible, we took the roof off and left it in the secure lock up car park under the apartments. It was there all day and safe The place was so clean, coffee, tea, milk, sugar, salt pepper, paper towel, Tupperware, all the little things you forget to pack where there for our convenience. Brandi was a fantastic accommodating host and communicator. Thanks for making our little get away fuss free.
Danelle
Wonderful location. Apartment is beautiful with everything you need and very spacious. Amazing view and convenient to restaurants, the strand and CBD area. Brandi is a great host, prompt with all communication.
Jodie
The unit was perfect for our family and it was spotless and clean. Brandi always responded to messages really quickly. Loved having breakfast on the big balcony. Will stay again.
Esra
We stayed in Brandi's place for a week. Brandi was an excellent host. She was very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. She helped us with check-in and check-out times as well. The house was amazing, decorated beautifully, had an ocean view, especially from the upstairs bedroom balcony. It was very clean and had all of the necessities. The location was fantastic too: The neighborhood was super quiet, beautiful, very close to the beaches and parks. It was 15 min away from restaurants and cafes in the Strand but there was a beautiful walking track through The Kissing Point Walk Board. We enjoyed ourselves a lot in the Splash Bar and pool in The Ville. Highly recommended too. We loved Townsville a lot, and are very grateful to Brandi to make our trip so comfortable for us.
