Where to stay in Frenchville
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Frenchville is housing, not hotels. Anyone booking a room for this part of the Rockhampton Region takes one in Rockhampton proper, where the accommodation sits, and treats Frenchville as the residential address at the end of a short drive rather than as a base in its own right. Beds inside the suburb are scarce. Norman Gardens, Berserker and Park Avenue put the same proposition to a visitor, so the practical question in Rockhampton is which side of the city a stay should sit on.
