This was a good value property. Only a 5 min walk from the airlie port ferry terminal so if you got the ferry in you can easily pull suitcases to accommodation. Room was large, clean and tidy, somewhat dated but nice view and little balcony. 10 min walk to town with plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. Bus stop also just outside accomodation on main road. A motel with bar and restaurant 2 min away which was good although fairly quiet. Staff at reception very helpful with lots of information about tours etc. A pleasant stay and good value for money.worth a try

The property needs to be refurbished my bed was extremely unconfortable the mattress needs to be replaced. Also I am still waitng on the balance of my $200.00 deposit. Not acceptable, definetly would not recommend this prpoerty, the support receptionist needs further training. It was an effort for her to acknowledge guests and to provide any information and not friendly.

Very disappointing apartment

Our apartment was very tired, had a mouldy smell to it, there appeared mould growing above the airconditioner. The bed was very old and hard, the shower leaked from the shower head all over the bathroom floor. I would not recommend. The staff member who was on site each day we were there "Bebe" was fantastic and offered great customer service.

We found this a great place to stay. We had a spa unit with views to the ocean. It's very convenient to the Port of Airlie for boat trips, and there are plenty of cafes close by, with a decent walk into the main town. It's a fairly busy area so if you are on the balcony there will be traffic noise, but it's quiet enough when closed. The staff were friendly. It only had a basic kitchenette and no sofa in our spa studio, but was exactly as advertised and the spa was lovely. The bed was comfy and there were table and chairs inside and on the balcony. It was a little strange having no curtains in the window where the spa and shower are, but hopefully others can't see in! We had takeaway from the Thai restaurant at the hotel which was delicious and reasonably priced. We were very happy overall.

The room and building felt ‘tired’ everything was old and worn out and on its last legs. We stayed there because of the ‘hot tub’ which turned out to be a quacuzzi bath with pretty tatty silicone around the edge. The room boasted free digital films but the quality of picture was terrible and there was no menu to find out what was on and when… I feel I paid more than what was delivered and they need to update the rooms to ask for the price they are asking. The guy at the desk was really nice though and helped out as much as he could. Sadly I would give this a 3/10 rating…

We had a 2 night stay in a 1 bedroom apartment & overall we enjoyed it. The unit was quite small but did have basically everything you need in a self contained unit (except laundry facilities). It is within walking distance on mostly flat walkways to the main street of Airlie. For the money we paid it was good value. Downsides: We weren't told that there are very few parking spots available for guests. Just a handful of parking spaces & bigger vehicles would have trouble as the area wasn't very high & had small parking spaces. We were surprised at the lack of security ie doors into the apartment building were left open & no key required to use the lifts. We didn't experience any issues but it is a bit disconcerting to think anyone could wander in at any time. The main bedroom wasn't air conditioned, which wasn't a problem for us as it is winter. However in summer I'm sure that the main bedroom would get quite hot. The units are older but were meticulously clean & quite comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful.
