Townsville is only small by world standards, but it is still the largest town in North Queensland as is considered by many to be its unofficial capital. Because of this, it has loads of things going on, both culturally and sporting and a stay in a Townsville holiday apartment will have you wondering how to fit everything in.

If you are a lover of music then a great time to rent your Townsville serviced residence would be July, when the Australian Chamber Music Festival is held over ten days. This is also a good time from the weather point of view because although Townsville doesn’t get the extremes of weather that Cairns, for example, experiences, it can still get pretty hot in the summer, with temperatures of over 44°C not unknown. Magnetic Island, just off the coast, has an effect on the weather and tropical storms are not very common here. A Townsville self-catered apartment or aparthotel is a good holiday idea whatever the time of year.

If you follow sport, then a Townsville holiday rental is for you. If you want an idea of how popular the local Rugby League team the North Queensland Cowboys is, you need only look at the size of their ground. The Dairy Farmers Stadium holds a quarter of the town’s population, so there would be no problem squeezing in a visitor to one of Townsville’s apartment rentals!

Magnetic Island, just off the coast, is a must see visit, with trips going out regularly. It was named by Captain Cook who thought that it affected his compass as he sailed past. In fact, though many people have explored it since, there is no magnetic anomaly on the island, but the name stuck. Over half of it is National Park and as it lies within the Great Barrier Reef National Park it is totally unspoiled, although a fair number of people live on the island as well. A Townsville short stay apartment would give you an opportunity to visit the island for a few days to make the most of the stunning scenery and the chance to see indigenous wildlife kept safe because of the park being an island.

The beaches around Townsville are worth a stay in themselves. From your Townsville serviced apartment you will never be far from a wonderful beach and the sheltering effect of the island makes the breeze less brisk if it does get up in the ‘cooler’ winter months – although with temperatures in the mid-twenties, they aren’t as cool as all that!
