Highpoint International Hotel
CBD apartments with kitchen and reef-region views
About this stay
Highpoint International Hotel is unusual on the Gladstone shortlist for explicitly framing itself around the wider region's natural drawcards, the Great Barrier Reef and nearby islands offshore, national parks and hinterlands inland, rather than purely the city itself. One-bedroom apartments with a kitchen, oven, microwave and washing machine suit longer, more independent stays, and many come with private balcony views over the surrounding cityscape. The outdoor pool and barbecue terrace cover downtime between excursions, and the restaurant on site means dinner does not always require heading out. Gladstone's sub-tropical climate, the property notes, keeps boating, fishing, swimming and surfing viable most of the year rather than a narrow season squeezed into just a few months.

Our take
Suits travellers whose Gladstone stay is a base for exploring further, whether toward the reef or inland toward the national parks, more than a purely city-focused visit. The kitchen and washing machine matter more here than at a typical CBD hotel. Anyone wanting a purely harbour-front stay with no reef or hinterland framing should compare this against The Gladstone first, since Highpoint's identity leans outward from the city rather than into it.
- ✓Book an apartment with a private balcony if the view is a priority, not every unit includes one.
- ✓Use the kitchen and washing machine for a multi-day trip mixing reef excursions and hinterland day trips rather than a single overnight stop.
- ✓Ask about barbecue terrace access for an evening meal outdoors rather than relying on the on-site restaurant every night.

Why guests love itHighpoint International Hotel is a CBD base in Gladstone with one-bedroom apartments, many with private balcony views. Each has a kitchen with oven, microwave and washing machine, and there is an outdoor pool, a barbecue terrace and a restaurant on site. The hotel frames itself around the wider region, from the Great Barrier Reef offshore to national parks inland, but the building itself is a city one. An 8.1 score from 198 reviews is decent.
