Where to stay in South Toowoomba
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds cluster nearer the middle of Toowoomba than around St Patricks Cathedral, so most visitors book in the centre and cover the remaining blocks on foot or by car. Rooms in the locality itself are few. If you are here for a service at St Luke's Anglican Church or a family event, a central Toowoomba room keeps you within reach of both the churches and the restaurants.
Parking is easier out here.
