Was very disappointed in the condition of the room. Furniture was very dated, furniture old and dirt under glass desk. Furniture on desk was dated and broken. Was disappointed in condition considering the price and the name Peppers. First staff member on desk was short with her communication and rude.

It’s pretty outdated. I think I saw that it was a 4 star hotel? It’s a 3 star in reality at best. The location was impeccable and the pool is HUGE but the rooms could use an upgrade.

Peppers Location is 100%, short walk from ferry. Bus stop is also located at the ferry terminal with easy access around the island, $1.00 per person hop on and off all day pass is unbeatable. The resort pools and grounds are kept beautiful. We only used the restaurant for breakfast and sadly found breakfast basic and cold, the outside chairs have mould and could do with a scrub. Our 3 room apartment could do with a freshen up, metal stools were rusty. I will defiantly go back to see if advice was taken, it just needs some TLC.

We enjoyed our stay at Peppers. Lovely breakfasts,great pool, awesome shower and bath in our room. Couch needs replacing, as it's extremely sunken and hard to sit on. We would recommend, but be specific on room choice. Our room was a bit tired and noisy near the traffic. Staff very helpful. Thanks for hosting us!

Our third time stying at this beautiful resort and it never disappoints. Approachable staff, tasty buffet breakfast with plenty of vegetarian options and quite simply the hugest, sparkliest, most beautiful pool I have ever had the good fortune to swim in. When we first came here pre-pandemic, my children were 8, 13 and 17. This time they’re 14, 18 and 22! And they love it just as much now. A wonderful place to stay while exploring magical Yunbenun/Maggie island. Sadly now that my eldest has graduated from JCU, we won’t be coming up to Townsville for the foreseeable future. But until we meet again, I shall dream of Peppers appropriately named ‘Blue on Blue’ and that magnificent BLUE pool.
