Would highly recommended this motel. Excellent location right on the middle of the strand, near restaurants and supermarket. Clean rooms, self contained and quite modern. I stayed in a studio room with a ocean view, there was adequate space for two people (don't expect too big a room) and great view. There was a fair amount of noise coming from... More

I got this room on a realtively cheap wotif deal, while the room was clean and they had partially reburfished the room, the rest of the room and the bathroom were very dated. Lucky for me I was basically only in the room to shower and sleep. Would not recommend this hotel if you want somewhere nice to relax during... More

We stayed there over easter for three nights and the location was just perfect. Our room was very big and clean with a modern kitchen, so we could cook our own breaky and enjoyed it on our balony. I liked the undercover parking, very secure.

excellent location - booked on stand by - travelling with friends. Loved that we were offered an opportunity to be on ground level near the pool and allocated a room beside our friends. Studio room very nice, modern and clean. Location great. Would be very happy to stay there again.

Unfortunately I had to come down to Townsville from Cairns, we decided to bring the family along. We had rooms 308 and 306. I'm not sure what the other rooms are like but both of these are dated, although kept clean and tidy. We paid $279 per night. The biggest issue we had were children in the pool screaming and... More

We stayed for four nights on business as it was convenient and close to where G was having training. However.... the room was painted in an awful and depressing putty colour. The curtains and blind did not shut out the Motel's neon sign or the ambient outdoor light, so it was difficult to have a sound sleep. It was also... More

Great staff, fantastic location but the room fitout is getting a bit tired. Rooms were still clean and comfortable just looking a bit dated

Townsville is like a big country town, brimming with friendly Nth Qld hospitality.The Strand is lovely and Waters Edge is the perfect, affordable location. All of the staff were great, after leaving home at 0330 and arriving in Townsville at 0930, we were intending leaving the luggage at Waters Edge until check-in time at 1400 but the room was ready...

My fiance and I stayed here in early September. We had never been to Townsville before and weren't expecting much of the city, but were very pleasantly surprised - so much so, that we extended our stay another night at Waters Edge. Reception staff were very friendly, the building was very modern and funky. The bbq and pool terrace was... More
