We found a special internet rate for this place the day before we came... we ended up paying $100 for a $300 room. It was worth every penny! We had turkish robes, a VERY comfortable bed, sparkling clean bathroom, high quality A/C, flat-screen TV, and free coffee & biscuits. The courtyard & pool area is a beautifully landscaped, quiet, tropical... more

Stayed at the Seagulls Resort during July for 3 nights and although it was basic accommodation, the two rooms that I stayed in (over two different bookings) were clean and quite comfortable. The kitchen facilities were basic, but they didn't supply any washing up liquid or cloths to clean dishes, and the apartment wasn't serviced. Cause for much hilarity was... more

I stayed here for 1 night as I was overnighting in Townsville. The property is about 10 minutes from the airport and close to the city by car or a long walk. It's close to the water and in a nice area. I arrived after 9pm and was surprised that there was no minibar or fridge in the room, only... more

I would like to say how much we enjoyed our 3 night stay at Seagulls recently. Seagulls website photos do not do it justice. The rooms were comfy but not grand. The grounds were just beautiful. The steak with seafood topping was a delight. The children's playground was slightly larger than expected. My 6 year old enjoyed it alot. more

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

We had never been to Townsville before and chose Seagulls from the internet. Be warned, Townsville is a little like the Islands in that everything happens but they take a little time - especially taxis at the airport, food at some places, and things close early including the food at Seagulls. With kids we found walking and buses impractical and... more

First trip to Far North Queensland - it was a great experience.Travelled by Sunlander (train with sleeper)Journey was 24 hours from Gold Coast but travelling with friends we passed the time quite easily. Take a pack of cards. Compartments are very comfy, but sleeping can be a hassle, and drop down bed (one up one down for a couple) requires... more
