Stays in Rockhampton

Family-friendly apartments with a pool, fitness centre, and full kitchens

Why guests love it

Apartments on Palmer is a four-star aparthotel for families who want a kitchen and a pool. The air-conditioned rooms have private bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens, and the property has a fitness centre, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a restaurant serving Australian cuisine with dietary options. About 100 guests rate it 9.3. Our editorial advice: cook some meals, eat at the restaurant on arrival night and use the pool in the afternoon.

Riverside apartments with a pool, fitness centre, and family-friendly amenities

Why guests love it

I would book Empire Apartment Hotel for a family or work stay with a kitchen in Rockhampton. Choose from elegant air-conditioned apartments with kitchens or kitchenettes, and studios. There is an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and an on-site restaurant, with free WiFi and private parking, along the Fitzroy River. A 9.1 score from 570 guests is outstanding, and the apartment format suits stays longer than a night or two.

Comfortable aparthotel with a year-round pool and family-friendly amenities

Why guests love it

I would book Cityville Apartments & Motel for a self-contained family stay in Rockhampton. The aparthotel rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and there are family rooms, a garden, a terrace and barbecue facilities. A year-round outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi and free on-site private parking add value. A 9.1 score from only 182 guests is outstanding but rests on a small number of reviews.

Self-contained apartments with river views and a fitness centre

Why guests love it

I would book Quest Rockhampton for a self-contained family stay on the banks of the Fitzroy River. Apartments look over the river, city or mountains, and all have a kitchenette or full kitchen, with a private balcony in most. There is a fitness centre, free parking and complimentary WiFi. An 8.8 score from 1,316 guests is strong for a practical apartment stay.

Family-friendly apartments with a pool and full kitchens near Rockhampton centre

Why guests love it

Rockhampton Serviced Apartments offers studios and apartments, and I would recommend the apartments to families because they come with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Every unit has a microwave, refrigerator and private bathroom, and there is a swimming pool plus free Wi-Fi. It is a short drive from the town centre rather than in it, which keeps the stay quiet. Cooking your own meals can also keep a longer family visit simpler.

Spacious apartments with balconies, an indoor pool, and a fitness centre

Why guests love it

CBD Executive Apartments in Rockhampton offers spacious aparthotel rooms with air-conditioning, balconies and free WiFi, and I would recommend them to families for the layout. Each room has a kitchenette, a private bathroom and modern amenities. There is an indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a coffee shop, a laundry service and free on-site private parking, which makes a longer stay easy.

Riverside apartments with a lap pool and city centre convenience

Why guests love it

Edge Apartment Hotel is a four-star apartment hotel on the banks of the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton city centre. It offers self-contained, modern rooms and apartments, a glass-edged lap pool, a fully equipped fitness centre and an alfresco restaurant and bar. Free parking is available for guests. The riverside position gives families and business travellers an easy walk into the city. Guests score it 8.5 across 219 reviews.

Luxury Rockhampton hotel with a year-round pool and elegant dining

Why guests love it

Quality Hotel Regent Rockhampton is a luxury, family-friendly hotel offering a 5-star experience, and I would recommend it for the year-round outdoor pool, sun terrace and garden. There is a restaurant, a bar and a coffee shop on site. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and free WiFi. It is a good fit for families who want hotel services without leaving the property for meals.

Self-contained apartments with balconies, pool, and central Rockhampton location

Why guests love it

Coffee House Apartment Motel in Rockhampton offers self-contained accommodation with private balconies, an outdoor swimming pool and a BBQ area, and I would recommend it for city stays with children. It is centrally located, just one block from the CBD's shopping and nightlife. That makes it easy to walk to dinner, though a central position can mean some evening noise.

Air-conditioned rooms with a pool, restaurant, and sports bar

Why guests love it

Glenmore Tavern is a practical Rockhampton stop with an outdoor pool, a restaurant and a lively sports bar. Rooms are air-conditioned with a microwave, fridge and kettle, and the en-suite bathrooms have both a bath and a shower, handy with small children. More than 950 guests rate it 7.9. Our editorial advice for families: ask for a room away from the bar on game nights, swim before dinner, and use the morning for the free Rockhampton Zoo in the Botanic Gardens.

Historic boutique hotel with spa baths and rose garden views

Why guests love it

Denison Boutique Hotel is set in a heritage building from 1885, and I would recommend it more to couples than to young families. Rooms have traditional furnishings and double spa baths, and some have private balconies overlooking rose gardens. Free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking are included. It is a short walk to the Fitzroy River and a quick drive to local attractions. Expect a quiet, elegant atmosphere rather than a lively hotel scene.

Riverside hotel with an outdoor pool and balconies in central Rockhampton

Why guests love it

I would book Mercure Rockhampton for a riverside family stay overlooking the Fitzroy River. All rooms are air-conditioned with a balcony, a mini-refrigerator and satellite TV, and WiFi is complimentary. The outdoor pool and a 24-hour reception add convenience, and the setting is central. A 7.5 score from 1,210 guests is fair, so expect a practical rather than polished stay.
