About Breakwater Guide

Who we are

Breakwater Guide is published by Breakwater Guide Media Ltd, a small media company registered in Australia, with an office in Townsville. We write practical, fact-checked guides for travellers.

This site focuses on a single property, The Ville Resort-Casino, and the breakwater precinct around it. Focusing on one place lets us go deeper than a general listing site: history, venues, rooms, what changed in the 2018 redevelopment, and what to check before you book.

What we are not

We are not the hotel, its owners or its staff. We do not take reservations, accept payments or offer gambling services. Trademarks and venue names belong to their owners and are used only to identify the places we write about.

Our principles

• Use primary sources first: the hotel's own publications and public records
• Say where sources disagree instead of guessing
• Never publish invented prices, ratings or opening hours
• Credit every photograph and use only licensed images
• Keep gambling content factual, with responsible gambling information on every page
