“A lovely relaxing place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

This place was great value for money for those who don't want to break the bank or stay in one of the many hostels in Airlie. The staff are a little bit older than your average backpacker places - they are very helpful and knowledgable about the local area. My room had a large double bed, kitchen, bathroom, sofa, tv and large balcony and was very comfortable and clean. Great location on the main strip and a private entrance to the lagoon. Gates are locked at 20:00 so it felt very secure.

Be aware that this hotel is on the main strip and I did hear loud music each night although it was not enough to keep me awake. If you're a light or early sleeper it might be annoying.

All in all, no problems and highly recommended.

Room Tip: I stayed in the very end room on the top floor. Although this meant I had an extra window and the be...

“Excellent choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

After three weeks travelling as a backpacker, this was the right place to recharge my batteries and to get some rest.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and the apartments are comfortable. If you are looking for a place to stay in Airlie Beach this one is the right choice.

“Spacious and very clean appartment - definitely recommended.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

I stayed here August 2011 with one friend. We were in an upstairs apartment which could have easily slept 4 so we had lots of room. The welcome at reception was really friendly and thorough making sure that we had milk and the wifi key. BTW, the wifi is free which is a huge bonus in Australia. Otherwise, the location is excellent. Some guests have said on here that the apartments are in a noisy area at nite but I didn't have trouble sleeping as I believe they have sound-proofed the walls. Each apartment also has a nice balcony which seems to add further to the space of the apartments. Overall, a great choice in Airlie Beach!

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2011

Great location, though finding it was a little hard it is quite a small drive way. We did get our 4 wheel drive in and out without a problem. Great friendly staff was a little noisy on a fri night. Night club across the road. But great location if you like the clubs! The lagoon being so close would make this a great spot in summer too!

“Excellent stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

We stayed in a top floor 4 bedroom private room at Whitsunday on the beach so we were ready to go on a sailing trip. The women at the desk were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and it was very handy to have a fridge. The thing that really makes this place amazing is the location. It is just off the main street so it is not noisy and you are literally 5 steps away from the beach. In airlie beach accommodation varies but this place is a safe clean haven. Well done guys.
