Getting the app on your phone
Our official Ville Resort-Casino app is free to use and sits in both the App Store and Google Play. In both stores it appears simply as “The Ville”, so a quick search for that name is usually enough. We built it specifically for our Townsville guests and members, so your membership tools and booking options live in one place on your phone - without needing the front desk or website every single time.
On iPhone or iPad, open the App Store first, search for “The Ville”, then tap Get on the listing at apps.apple.com/au/app/the-ville/id1342520908. After that, confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password and the download will complete in the background. On Android, open Google Play, type in the same name, and choose the version published by The trustee for BREAKWATER ISLAND TRUST. Tap Install, wait for it to finish and the shortcut will appear on your device.
The app is linked directly to The Ville Resort-Casino at Sir Leslie Thiess Drive, Townsville QLD 4810, not to any other venue. If you need help with the app itself, our support contact is [email protected] and the phone number listed in Google Play is +61 418 152 186.
What you can actually do inside the app
Once you sign in using your existing member details, the membership dashboard opens and shows your current tier and points, updated in real time. From that same area you can move into hotel bookings, make dining reservations at most of the restaurants on property, and opt in to push notifications so you do not miss upcoming events or offers.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Membership status | View tier and points balance after login |
| Hotel booking | Book room nights directly through the app |
| Dining reservations | Reserve tables at most on-site restaurants |
| Event notifications | Push alerts for promotions and upcoming events |
| Platform | iOS App Store and Android Google Play |
It is important to be clear - the app is not an online gambling platform. We do not provide any real-money gaming functions in the app. Think of it more as a digital companion for your stay at the physical resort, focused on bookings, membership, and communication rather than gaming.
Installing on iOS
On Apple devices the install is straightforward, but we will still walk through it briefly.
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the Search tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Type “The Ville” and confirm the search.
- Choose the app for The Ville Resort-Casino in Townsville from the results.
- Tap Get, then authenticate when your device asks.
- After the download completes, tap Open to launch.
- On the welcome screen, enter your existing member login credentials.
- When prompted about push notifications, allow them so you receive event reminders.
After you log in, your membership dashboard appears automatically and you can see your current status and points at a glance. From the main navigation menu, you can then move into hotel booking or dining reservations without leaving the app.
Installing on Android
The process on Android devices follows the usual pattern for Google Play, with a couple of small details to double check.
- Open Google Play on your phone or tablet.
- Enter “The Ville” into the search bar at the top.
- Locate the listing from The trustee for BREAKWATER ISLAND TRUST.
- Tap Install and wait for the download and install to complete.
- Open the app either from Google Play or your home screen icon.
- Sign in using your existing member username and password.
- Accept notification permissions when the app asks for them.
- Go to the membership section to see your current points and status.
If you hit an error while installing or logging in, contact us at [email protected] or call +61 418 152 186. A small practical note from experience: if an Android app stalls or refuses to install, clearing the Google Play Store cache first often fixes it, and you will not need any further troubleshooting.
