Airlie Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, kind staff"

Daydream Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Book in for dinner or risk missing out."

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious but dated - cracked tiles and dirty grout, curtains held on curtain rail with cellotape. Staff were great, really helpful and attentive. Pools were well maintained, really nice feature. Breakfast was a welcome surprise. Really nice. Would stay again because overall very good value for money just needs a little maintenance."

Magnums Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay in Airlie Beach. As a solo traveler, the room was clean and comfortable. The site itself is greatly maintained and gives the illusion of being in a jungle. The site is also centrally located in Airlie Beach, walking distance to the harbors for day trips, the Airlie Beach lagoon and beach areas. It’s also adjacent to a grocery store and pharmacy. The perfect stay for someone who plans on doing day trips and needs a comfortable place to sleep."

Martinique Whitsunday

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel - lovely room, incredible sea view and stunning pool with scenic views. Great location but prepare to hike up a steep hill after wondering around Airlie Beach - but it’s worth it!"

Discovery Parks - Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, great location, family friendly."

Harbour Cove

8/10 Good

"Located next to marina. Convenient location. Apartment was clean. Undercover secure carport downstairs with lift access. The only downside is there is no curtain for the front which is all glass. There ia a metal gate privacy screen but you can see through to outside and people can see inside."

Baybliss Luxury 1 Bedroom Apt

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location very quiet, beautiful view would stay again"

Baybliss Studio 1

10/10 Excellent
