We stayed in the Superior Ocean View Apartment and this was probably the BEST Serviced apartment we have ever stayed in!! The combination of Serious Luxury and excellent service was obviously fantastic but the affordability of it all was simply unbelievable!!! I have traveled to many countries and stayed in many hotels, but this was actually the first time that the apartment was probably 15 to 20 times better than even what was shown on the picture and on the web-sites. We were told that the superior ocean view apartments are their top of the range apartments and really our apartment lived up to its reputation many times over! The view from our wonderfully spacious private balcony, the super comfortable large bed, the spacious and plush living room, the fully equipped kitchen and the nice bathroom were all absolutely 5 Star! Everything was very nice and clean and the location of the apartment is excellent, very peaceful and serene and away from all the town hustle-bustle but at the same time just walking distance to the town centre and shopping! The cherry on the cake however was the warm and super friendly nature of Cathy Logan and her team. Really we did even feel away from home around her. It was really one of the best vacations we have had in our lives. Thanks Cathy for everything! May God Bless you and your family! Thanks very much! Hare Krishna!

So close to the shops and lagoon, rooms were fantastic and spacious. Excellent pool and games room. Kathy was a wonderful host, she helped us with anything we needed, and did a great job booking our tours for us. Would definitely recommend staying here!

You really couldn't fault the service given by Cathy the on-site manager of these apartments. On check in we were given some beers and soft drinks that someone had left in a room, something I have never experienced before. Cathy has a great knowledge of what was on offer in the way of reef and other tours (which you can book through her), and did not overly push any particular company. I noticed she spent at least a couple of hours helping two young backpackers select tours. She also very kindly offered us a lift to the marina and dropped us at a restaurant. Any difficulties we had (such as running out of detergent) were quickly dealt with.

The apartments look to be around 40 years old and have been added to and renovated over the years, the last makeover perhaps 10 years ago. I would class these as mid-range apartments, with some signs of age and a few maintenance issues such as missing tiles in the pool etc. We had a 3 bedroom apartment which was quite spacious and comfortable, with a view over the pool to the Whitsundays. Beds are comfortable and the air conditioning very efficient, to the point where it can get cold. There is a half rug on the bed, blankets are kept in drawers. In one room the air conditioner kept turning itself off during the night, probably because we somehow managed to set the timer.

The only issues we really had were that, surprisingly, although it has a good sized kitchen with a very large ice dispensing fridge, there was no stove, and we like to cook our own food. A 2 element portable electric cooktop was kept under the bench, but we could not get enough heat out of it to cook. There was also a small grill type portable oven on the bench and an electric frypan, which unfortunately was pre-teflon and had to be constantly scrubbed. So this restricted the amount of cooking we could do.

While the apartment accommodated 5 people quite comfortably, there was only one toilet and this had to be reached through the bathroom. Those with teenagers will immediately see the problem here.

The main street of Airlie beach is just down the hill, about 5 minutes walk with the last 100m or so on the way back being quite steep. It didn't cause us any problems, but you do notice it in the heat. There is a small grocery store in the main street, the nearest big supermarket is a couple of minutes drive away. The apartments have laundry facilities, it cost $4 per load to wash or dry, but you can get 2 loads into a dryer.

Recommended because of the high level of service and central location.

Had an amazing but too short a break at Airlie Appartments last July.
Cathy and Kate were amazing and couldn't have been more helpful if they tried.
As I was a lone traveller it presented no problems, everyone so friendly.
Loved Airle and Airlie Appts..felt very safe at all times.
Great Trips from Airlie and beautiful walks. Loads of good places to eat if you don't want to cook for yourself, although I must say it was good after a day out to fix a meal and sit outside and watch the amazing sunsets.
I flew into Proserpine as opposed to Hamilton Island and the trip from the airport was great. Lovely scenery and lots of wildlife.
All in all a great break.
If I come to Oz again i would have no hesitation at at staying at theAirlie Appartments and Airlie again. Rose Wright England.
