“Great rooms, service, location, highly recommended!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 10 nights and were greeted in a friendly manner and shown to our room, which was presented in a very immaculate fashion. This standard was maintained throughout the whole stay, with great daily service. Best part...definitely the jacuzzi on the balcony!!! Location was also a plus, as it was only a very short walk into town and on level ground!! I am not normally the person to bother writing a review, however I was so pleased with this place overall, that it definitely deserved a bit of recognition! Very highly recommended!!!!

“The Best in Accomodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Recently we spent 6 nights here. The accomodation was well set out and very comfortable and private. There are only 6 units and with only adults allowed to stay in was peaceful. The manager was a delight, very friendly and helpful. He kept the place clean and tidy inside and out. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

“Girly Getaway Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Myself and 3 close girlfriends (all Mums) had a wonderful stay at Waterfront Whitsunday Retreat. 3 days 2 nights, away from our hubby's and children, absolute bliss. We stayed in the 3 bedroom Penthouse with Jacuzzi on the balcony. It's clean, modern, spacious, equipped with everything you could want/need during your stay. Short walk to the main drag. Highly recommend.

“Great for a short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

We stayed here for a couple of nights this week. It's a perfect base for a short trip being close to Airlie Beach and easy buses or taxis to get to the harbour for trips to other islands.

The room was really quiet (despite schoolies staying in all close-by accomodation!!) and lovely and clean, bed was really comfy and the corner jacuzzi is a nice touch out on the terrace opposite the pool, as is the super-powerful sound system you can hook your iPod/mp3 up to.

If you want super-attentive service this isn't the place to book - go to a 4*+ hotel. This place is great for people like us who are independent, love a bit of privacy and don't want to be fussed all over by the staff. Scott was helpful and courteous when we booked and checked and this was all we needed.

The only minor thing to say is, guys, sort that mess of wires and boxes out around and under the TV on the wall - it's too much and the shelf is going to come off the wall soon and it detracts from an otherwise almost perfect room.
