Famed for its magnificent esplanade, Townsville is the largest urban area in northern Queensland and is widely considered by many of its residents to be the de facto capital of the region.
Typical holiday accommodation in the area consists of both city-style apartments within the denser urban area and spacious beach apartments away from the centre, many of which feature an outdoor swimming pool. Explore the town's lively cultural scene and its proximity to natural wonders such as the Bowling Green Bay National Park.
