A relatively small casino and hotel, what Jupiters Townsville lacks in size, it makes up for in location. Overlooking Magnetic Island in Townsville, Queensland, Jupiters Townsville is situated the center of the Australian tropics, with spectacular beaches on one side, rainforest on another and the Australian Outback on yet another.
Jupiters Townsville offers roughly 20 tables for table gaming, for games like the popular Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, Blackjack and Roulette, as well as more than 300 electronic gaming machines, featuring Vegas Star Roulette and Born to be Wild. Jupiter Townsville also features a separate Keno and TAB Lounge. Sign up for club membership to receive discounts and free refreshments on the gaming floor.
Townsville’s only 4-and-a-half star hotel, Jupiters Townsville is beautifully located on the Breakwater Marina, a location that assures a beautiful view to each of the 194 rooms. 177 Superior Rooms offer reasonably priced style and comfort while the Presidential Suite offers the highest in quality and what Jupiters Townsville calls, “the ultimate experience in Townsville accommodation.”
Three restaurants provide a limited selection compared to other Jupiters casinos, but offer the basics and even some luxury. Essence provides the relaxed and high-class dining, while Aqua and the Spin Café provide the buffet and snack bars. For drinks, selection is limited with a bar located in the Aqua restaurant. However, there are multiple casino bars and a good-sized Lobby Bar where you can meet up with friends and watch some television over drinks.
Set in landscaped tropical gardens, Jupiters Townsville offers visitors two tennis courts, a lagoon-style swimming pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium and the Hands in Harmony salon. The Hands in Harmony salon provides an array of services, from massages to full-body wraps, and is located near the pool.
Nightlife at Jupiters Townsville is robust, with regular dinner and shows, live music every weekend and occasional fashion shows. Jupiter Townsville also sponsors many sporting events in Queensland, from Professional bull-riding to the Jupiters Townsville Cup. Also available is a big-screen TV in the casino for the big sporting matches.
The real jewel of Jupiters Townsville, though, is the surrounding environment and landscape, with the North-side of the hotel facing the open ocean and Magnetic Island and the South-side facing the city center. Within walking distance to the Island Ferry and Great Barrier Reef cruise terminal and surrounded by tropical rainforests and waterfalls, Jupiter Townsville is an incredible romantic escape.
