"The saying in real estate goes that everything is “Location, location, location”, and while that's not entirely the case when it comes to restaurant, it can certainly go a long way to enhancing the dining experience. This is exactly the case as far as the Watermark Townsville is concerned – it sits in an outstanding spot right on the Strand overlooking the waterfront, and when combined with the quality of its food and the lovely, pseudo-modern décor, it's not hard to see why this is one of the city's most popular places to dine on everything spanning from cocktails through to dinner. Food is great here and the service is generally to match, which when combined with its outlook and reasonable prices for all of the above makes the Watermark a great go-to restaurant while in Townsville."
