South Townsville homes you can take for six weeks.
Furnished, bills included, and the agreement runs exactly as long as you need it to.
One week to 24 months is what EzyFlats rents in South Townsville. Most stays land between one and twelve weeks, which is the part of the year hotels price badly and agents will not let you have.
What counts as a medium-term rental?
Australian renting is built around two extremes. Short-stay platforms are priced by the night and get punishing past about a month. Traditional agencies want twelve months, a rental history and a queue of applicants at a Saturday inspection. Neither fits someone who needs somewhere to live in South Townsville for six weeks.
Medium-term is the space in between — typically one to twelve weeks, though it stretches from a single week to two full years. The home comes furnished with bills included, the agreement is written and signed digitally, and the term is whatever you actually need.

Medium-term agreements in Queensland
Queensland separates short-stay accommodation from residential tenancies, so a medium-term booking is documented as a short-stay agreement with the deposit held by EzyFlats rather than lodged with the Residential Tenancies Authority.
Staying in South Townsville
South Townsville sits across Ross Creek from Townsville CBD, and is the city's port and industrial precinct turned post-2010 lifestyle suburb. The defining axis is the Townsville Marina (one of Queensland's largest), the Breakwater Cove residential precinct, and the long Strand-style Esplanade running along Ross Creek and the marina. The Queensland Country Bank Stadium (home of the North Queensland Cowboys NRL team) sits at the suburb's western edge. Renter demographics are mixed: defence-force personnel from Lavarack Barracks (10 min west), professionals working at the marina and the port, James Cook University students, healthcare staff at Townsville University Hospital, and a substantial cohort of corporate transferees drawn by the new apartment stock. Housing stock is dominated by post-2000 mid-rise apartment buildings around the Marina and Breakwater Cove, with smaller 1970s–1990s walk-up units along Ogden Street and the Esplanade, and a smaller stock of freestanding heritage houses through the older streets. Walk Score in the Marina precinct is high. Buses connect to Townsville CBD in 5 minutes (across the Victoria Bridge). Townsville Airport is 10 minutes north. Civic anchors include the Queensland Country Bank Stadium, the Townsville Marina, the seasonal Strand-Marina markets, and the Magnetic Island ferry terminal at the Breakwater. Typical furnished tenants are defence-force personnel and contractors, JCU students preferring marina-side living, corporate transferees, and healthcare staff at the Hospital. Adjacent precincts include North Ward (across the river, more leafy), the CBD (immediately west) and Hyde Park (south, more residential). The Magnetic Island ferry runs every 30 minutes from the Breakwater terminal — a 25-minute crossing each way to Nelly Bay.

Medium-term rentals in South Townsville — common questions
How long is a medium-term rental in South Townsville?
Medium-term sits between a short stay and a standard residential lease — longer than a holiday booking, shorter than a twelve-month commitment. On EzyFlats in South Townsville that means anything from one week to 24 months, and most stays run between one and twelve weeks.
How is it different from a short-term rental?
Short-stay platforms price by the night and get expensive past about a month, with cleaning and service fees stacked on top. A medium-term rental is priced weekly, includes bills, furniture and Wi-Fi, and comes with a written agreement rather than a booking confirmation.
Do I need to sign a 12-month lease?
No. That is the point of the category. You commit to the term you actually need in South Townsville — a week, a season, or up to two years — with no rollover and no lock-in.
What is included?
Every home is fully furnished with bills and Wi-Fi included, so there is nothing to connect, buy or move in. Listings are pre-screened and every landlord is ID-verified.
How is my money protected?
Deposit held securely by EzyFlats until move-in. Rent is processed through Stripe, and the Move-In Guarantee refunds your first week's rent and service fee if the property does not match its listing.
