These small units are very basic in features but are in a perfect position to be close to the beach and extremely easy walking distance of all the restaurants and tourist attractions downtown. Its about a 5 minute walk to underwater world and is priced quite affordably compared to surrounding accommodation. Excellent accommodation for those on a budget

The grand chancellor is a nice and solid hotel with clean rooms and most of the mod cons and close to the cbd. Its not a five star hotel though by any means which was the way it was advertised on the site I booked with. I had higher expectations but it is by no means bad.

Stopped and tried these guys pies for breakfast today after driving past them for years. Needless to say I will be stopping in more often. I have both a lamb pie and curry pie, both with mushy peas and they were beautiful, fresh and not overcooked. They were also fairly priced.

A pretty stock standard fish and chip shop with your general array of takeaway options. Have been meaning to try these guys for a fair while now and did so this evening. My piece of mackerel was average size and cooked reasonably crispy. It was nice and about par for what you would expect. The service was prompt and polite and it seemed to be a family run business.

Pie Face opens 24 hours and is situated near the nightclubs in Townsville. Apart from having a wide selection of pies it also has some very nice gourmet style toasted sandwiches which go down well. Service is always polite, friendly and fast.

Pretty standard kebab shop, opens up late at night to service all the club revellers whom are hungry on the way home. Pretty good feed and prices are standard. A nice change from the bullys dog down the road or pieface.

I was recently up in the northern beaches on a Saturday afternoon and stopped In to get some lunch from the Woodlands takeaway store. I was very impressed with the freshness of the roast chicken roll I purchased and also the chips. I will definitely stop there again next time Im going past.

These guys run an upmarket type medium sized café in the woodlands shopping centre plaza just north of Townsville and just off the Bruce highway. They have a good range of upmarket and fresh type dishes both of hot and cold varieties. I find these guys a little bit on the expensive side for me to go to all the time but it is definitely more fashionable to be seen at then other places in the area. Service is always good.

These guys do huge burgers and must have over 20 different types. Everything is cooked freshly and the all the products placed on the burger taste extremely crisp and fresh. It is always such a big decision what to get because there is so much variety. You get premium eating at not much more than a normal takeaway price. Tuesday night is popular with all burgers only $8 in the evening. I made the mistake of ordering a side of chips when I first went there plus my burger and it was just way to much...these guys serve great burgers for a great price.

Oporto makes a nice change from McDonald's and probably has chicken which tastes a bit fresher and nicer with a better salad. There are a variety of different burgers available and you can upgrade your burgers to meals which include chips and a drink for a few more bucks. Staff are friendly and service times are fair.
