Large spacious rooms, well equipped and nice views. Sound proofing might be a bit of a problem but it was fine for a short stay.

The property was ideal for what we needed. The room was clean and comfortable, however, there were a lot of ants in the bathroom which made us feel quite uncomfortable..

I had contacted staff 3 times to let them know that I would require the late check in details. The last time being 3pm on day of arrival. I was informed that I would receive an SMS detailing the late check in procedure for my room key. Suffice to say when I arrived at 7.20pm still no SMS rang the mobile number to be informed that they had not sent it and it was sent almost immediately informing me which lock box it was in and the combination. Pity the instructions on how to actually use the said lock box were not included. Luckily another guest could help me out so not very many thanks for the staff unfortunately. The room though dated was clean functional and in good repair.

A great place to stay if you need to be in walking distance of Townsville CBD, but far enough to be very quiet at night. Also dark at night with the windows facing away from the lights of the car park. A good setup. And fantastic views as the name suggests.

It was fine thanks and good value for the price.
Only negative for my wife and I was that the bed was too hard and most uncomfortable.

The motel was in a quiet location and some units had lovely views to Magnetic Island. It was a steep 15 min walk from the city where most of the eateries were located. Island View was good value, but a little dated. If you had a car to travel from the property, it would have been much better. There was a small bar on a balcony (with fabulous views) close to reception which was open from 5 - 6pm.
