A good tip for a stay in Townsville is to try and stay around The Strand, even if a business traveller, if you have a car. If you're a tourist wanting to chill out you don't really need a car. It's a couple of klms out of the City but it has everything you need and is pleasant with the sea close by and a walkway for walking, runners and even dogs are very well catered for! (Drinking bowls, walkies and cafes accept them). Lots of restaurants and cafes. However, try to stay at the City end of the Strand if you aren't a great walker or if you have difficulty with mobility. Having said that, the walkway along the sea (from one end of The Strand to the other) is flat and OK for wheelchairs I would think.
