The serenity of the place is amazing. There are a view seating areas outside and the pool is heated. While you can feel the mass tourism in Airlie Beach, in Freedom Shores there is a calm and relaxing atmosphere and not a trace of noise. It is great to relax. At breakfst there is fresh fruit and you can take it to your room or somewhere else. As usual in Australia, there is no cheese or a choice of non-sweet options. Healthy options are available non the less. I did not have time to go but next to the hotel is a restaurant that belongs to the same owners that even locals love and drive out to. Sadly, the beautiful ship-shaped bungalows no longer have sea view but still are sold as sea-view. So you have to make a choice: the most beautiful rooms without a view or spacious suites with view. Seaview is really important to me. If you are okay with tropical trees from the room and sea-view from the common areas, you will be very happy in all rooms of this place because it is a well-maintained place with a lot of options.
