Family-friendly vacation rentals in Railway Estate

We didnt meet the owners but the place was stunning. Really tropical island vibes, outdoor kitchen, close to everything. 100% recommend

We had the pleasure of staying at the cute villa and I must say it was an great experience. Great host and friendly neighbours too . The villa was clean, cozy, and had all the necessary amenities.

Really enjoy our stay here! Great location but still nice and quiet, loved the communal kitchen area! Room was cosy and had everything we needed, and Carly and Mark were friendly and quick with responses and any help we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect place to stay on Magnetic Islamd, close to bus stops and amenities and well maintained, peaceful accommodation. Would highly recommend!

What an absolute gem of a place! Spectacular views, easily accessible to beautiful walks, local grocery store, public transport, island ferry and the most gorgeous rock wallabies right on your doorstep! The apartment was super clean and comfortable and you didn't want for anything, it had everything you needed to make the best holiday and incredible memories. We will definitely be back! Thank you Kathy for an unforgettable experience.

Absolutely loved our stay here, the views from nearly every room are amazing! We had up to 18 Rock Wallabies out the front at any given time, we felt so lucky being able to sit outside and watch them hopping around. We were unlucky with the weather so we are already planning our next trip back when blue skies will makes the view even more spectacular :)

This little apartment was the perfect place to stay for a short stopover in Townsville. Easy access, a well-equipped kitchen, clean and tidy, and in a fantastic spot - just a short walk to the restaurants and shops.

Thankyou so much guys! Unreal accom, was perfect for a group of 5 females catching up ! Lots of space and amenities. The BBQ is unreal, and the quirkiness of the place made it even more special!! Would definitely come again !!

The cottage is remarkably private and set back off the road. It is rustic, yet chic and is perfectly stocked with absolutely everything required for the perfect getaway! The bush setting was gorgeous and we were greeted by wallabies on our arrival! The communication with our host was prompt, informative, and covered everything from booking ferries to pre-arranging groceries for our arrival. We took our little dog, who was right at home in the cottage and welcomed into most restaurants/cafes on the island. We would highly recommend staying here. Perfect couples and fur-baby retreat!!

We had such a fantastic stay at The Butterfly House - really quirky decor and felt lovely and homely for our stay. Location was brilliant, just a very short walk down to the beach and shops/ cafes/ restaurants at Horseshoe Bay. Hosts communicated well and facilitated a lovely holiday!

The host was great to communicate with. There was a mistake on website booking and they were able to be flexible about it, which we really appreciated. Location is perfect for having a dog as close to the dog beach and for humans being close to a great hiking trial and restruarants.

Lovely place to stay, we had a wonderful time. Great location. Great price. So nice to be able to bring our small dog as well. Would recommend to others. Thank you Roxanne.

Adrian was an excellent host! Great communication and offerings. The house was very well stocked and very homey. Great sunsets from the balcony 🧡 thanks again!!

Di was an amazing host. She knew we were on a long road trip and proactively checked in with us with updates on flooding south of Townsville and road closures. Di was also very accommodating of our two dogs and our stay was very comfortable.

Lovely , clean spacious accommodation in a great location , reasonably priced. Great view from the balcony Would definitely visit again

Old school airBnB. Lived in space, had everything we needed. We were close to amazing restaurants (We highly recommend ‘A Touch of Salt’ superb 5⭐️ dining), the Cowboys Stadium & Townsville nightlife. Anthony’s place has a large balcony with a beautiful view of Castle Hill & the River/ Yacht Club. Whilst it was easy to access the building, it was still very secure (parking and accommodation) we would definitely stay here again! Thank you Anthony. Just a note for elderly visitors, both bathrooms (ensuite + main ) have over bath showers (quite a step up and into the bath - my 80 yo in-laws managed, but just an FYI for those of you wanting to stay with elderly family).🙏🏻

Alex's house was perfect for our friends / family getaway. It was spacious, had a great pool for the kids and the kitchen was well stocked with great appliances including a coffee machine. The house is within walking distance to two beaches, a great family friendly pub and the walk to see the rock wallabys. We would choose to stay in Arcadia rather than Horseshoe bay as we found it so family friendly. Our host Alex was helpful and responsive. We would love to come back next year.

We had a great stay at Karen’s place. The unit was comfortable with great views towards the city. It was on the site of our old high school back in the 1960’s so that made it very special. Karen’s communication was prompt and efficient. Would stay again.

brilliant spot, would be perfect for two families with the upstairs downstairs living

What a great little find this cabin was! Such a quiet, central location and extremely clean and well appointed. Our stay was so comfortable and we couldn’t recommend this cabin more highly. Many thanks, Frances and Sally.

A beautiful home, idyllic surroundings and very peaceful . The home was beautifully presented. Would happily stay again!

Me and my husband had an awesome stay at Marguerites, we couldn’t have asked for anything more really! The cabana had everything needed and was comfortable, clean, and peaceful. The nature, wallabies, birds and noises were just beautiful. The pool relaxing and fresh. The location perfect. Marguerite was lovely and friendly. We’d love to come back one day!
