About the neighborhood

Located in Airlie Beach, The Boathouse Apartments is in the city center and on the waterfront.

Airlie Beach Market and Shingley Beach are two other places to visit that come recommended. Kayaking, scuba diving, and snorkeling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails nearby. Visit our Airlie Beach travel guide

This is in such a great location, you can easily walk into town without all the hills but far enough away that it’s nice and quiet! Clean, comfortable and friendly staff. Pool is great and some cafes/restaurants downstairs too. Highly recommend.

3 generations family stay

Lovely accommodation in an excellent location. Would definitely return. If I were to be picky , I would suggest a mirror being added to each bedroom as currently only in bathrooms and awkward when a bathroom is being shared. However we had a fabulous stay.

The reception staff were beyond kind, which was an extremely refreshing greeting upon arrival, after having to leave our previous accommodation due to negligence. We booked The Boathouse Apartments, and arrived within the hour - and the staff had already ensured that all nuts, and nut products had been removed from the room (anaphylaxis) They were always friendly, the apartment was immaculate, as well as the spa, pool, and general public areas/walkways were spotless. I definitely could not rate The Boathouse highly enough!
