    No breakfast, location was good short walk to the Main Street/shops/beach, bed/pillow was super comfortable…I loved the separate shower/toilet. The kitchen had most of the usual utensils to cook & dine…I really loved the set up of the villas

Neighbourhood information

Known locally as T.I. Thursday Island is a natural show case for the region’s significant local maritime, military and pearling history. To visit this far flung government outpost is to uncover a town shaped by its cultural heritage and strategic location as it sits on the precipice of an international shipping channel, shares an international border with Papua New Guinea and offers safe harbour and resupply for vessels crossing the 40,000 sq km expanse that is Torres Strait. The minute you step ashore here you are instantly transported to another world, an island where traditional languages have been preserved and cultural values sit alongside a relaxed tropical island lifestyle that blends effortlessly within a modern township. With a population of approximately 3000, Thursday Island is the main township and port for Torres Strait. Today Thursday Island has sprung to life in its own right as the centre for governance, commerce and keeping place for the island’s cultural heritage.
