Best places to stay:
With its chunky exterior and spartan rooms, this beachside hotel is never going to win any design awards – but it is tremendous value for money.
The apartment-style rooms are cheerful and equipped with kitchenettes – a big selling point if you are travelling on a budget. Amenities include a small pool and guest laundry.
Despite its compact size, this property has everything you might need. It’s also brilliantly located between Four Mile Beach and Macrossan Street, the town’s restaurant and café belt.
The adults-only policy will also appeal to couples looking for extra tranquillity.
This hotel is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to be in the thick of things. Macrossan Street is just around the corner – as the town’s main shopping and dining area this part of town is pretty busy after dark.
The gorgeous white sand of Four Mile Beach is a two-minute walk from the front gate.
Guests hopping onto a Great Barrier Reef cruise will find that the hotel is also a handy distance from Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, located on the other side of the peninsula.
