Traveling with a pet to Townsville? Several motels in the city centre and along The Strand welcome furry guests, offering budget-friendly rates from around $120 per night. Expect rooms with tiled or floorboard floors (easier to clean), outdoor pools, free WiFi, and parking. The Strand area is ideal for beach access and nearby cafes, while city centre motels put you close to Reef HQ Aquarium and the ferry terminal. Book pet-friendly rooms in advance as availability is limited.
City Oasis Inn Townsville (SureStay Collection) features a lagoon-style pool, heated spa, and children's playground, with a pet-friendly Standard Double Room available by prior request. Shoredrive Motel sits directly on The Strand with an ocean-view pool and five pet-friendly units featuring hard floors - perfect for beach lovers. Yongala Lodge by The Strand is a two-minute walk from the sand, offering an outdoor pool and some rooms with balconies or kitchens, all within a quiet suburban setting.
