Townsville Hostels

Townsville, Australia’s largest tropical city, has become the premier destination for travellers wanting to see the ‘real’ North Queensland.
This city of 150,000 people is a charming blend of old and new with modern facilities that include entertainment, pubs, clubs, restaurants and accommodation to suit all tastes.
Because it is located in the dry tropics, Townsville consistently records more than 300 sunny days each year – perfect weather to enjoy a diversity of experiences from a skydive with a beach landing, to snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef.
Attractions here include Billabong Sanctuary, where you can hold a koala or wombat and watch crocodiles feeding, Reef HQ marine life aquarium and the Museum of Tropical Queensland to name a few. Townsville’s beachfront promenade, The Strand, is lined with restaurants, cafes, accommodation and recreational facilities. On Sundays, the Cotters Market in Flinders Mall is North Queensland’s largest arts and craft market where you can buy everything from hand-made pottery and jewellery to fresh fruits and Islander crafts.
