Shore drive is absolutely the best accommodation we have booked on our many trips to Townsville. The staff gonout of their way to help if possible and are very understanding of changes in plans and the comfort of their guests. Our pets are always relaxed here and our elderly mum's health needs are acknowledged and accomodated where possible. Definitely recommend this gem on the beach

Excellent location, staff were friendly and welcoming.
Room was outdated, blinds didn't cover the window in our room properly, air con was not sufficient for the size of the room, pictures definitely did not fit the description.
