Reviewer Comments:
Easy instructions to follow and plenty of contact available if we needed it. The room was well presented. Park your car early at night though - the hotel carpark fills up quickly and you’ll end up on the road.

Reviewer Comments:
Probably the most appalling hotel booking I have ever made. We originally booked at Aquarius, Townsville, via but the booking was intercepted by Holiday Hosting in Townsville which offered a slightly reduced rate. However, Holiday Hosting’s admin + booking + processing + cleaning fees amounted to some 10% of the final base fee for the hotel.Holiday Hosting stated that the accommodation was a self-contained, one bedroom studio apartment. It most certainly was not. The accommodation was a normal hotel room with a microwave oven. The room was crowded with a queen and a single bed, two plastic chairs and a plastic table, with very little space to actually move around. They also boasted of a washing machine. There was no washing machine. In addition, the air conditioning did not work and there was no fan, not even a cheap table fan from the Reject Shop. There were no tissues and for the eye-watering fee of $500 per night I expect a $2 box of tissues. The décor of the room was cheap and nasty.What a mistake to book with this organization, a mistake I shall not be repeating.

Soon as I walked thro the doors I was greeted with a beautiful smile and the most warmest welcome. The lovely lady behind the counter done her job perfectly. Helped me out as I was having troubles with my phone. I stayed at the aquarium few weeks before I booked in with you guys. I will say your room presentation was 10 times better in every way. I will be booking with you guys whenever I’m in Townsville again I promise you that.

About the host
Hosted by Brandi Murphy
I am a North Queensland resident, and I adore our amazing outdoor lifestyle: long- distance running, yoga, obstacle training, travelling and competing in events overseas and busy personal life. Naturally passionate about finance and wealth creation. I am also a keen property investor myself. I’ve been a passionate host and Super Host for over seven years. I was fortunate to attend the hosting conference in L.A.
In November 2016 and I gained many valuable insights from it. I own one of my own properties and host on behalf of other lovely property owners, and I enjoy helping them achieve their financial goals and ensuring all guests delight in their holiday experience. I operate my established short-term holiday letting business, “Holiday Hosting”, to provide premier accommodation to those visiting Queensland.
I have obtained my full real estate license (Certificate IV in Property Services-Real Estate).
I look forward to providing guests with a home away from home.
All the best,
Brandi
