We enjoyed our stay. As a last-minute booking we were pleasantly surprised. Location was excellent to esplanade, restaurants and shops. Lagoon for swimming but pool at apartments is great and less crowded. Would definitely stay again. We had 2 bedrooms, aircon loungeroom and dining room/kitchen. Cool building with 2 aircons in bedrooms.

We arrived late at the hotel and it was very easy to call and organise our check in. I was very disappointed that When I booked it was for 3 adults and 1 child. We arrived in our room to find a double bed and a single. There was an extra mattress under the bed and a pull out couch however no extra linen was provided. We also only received 3 towels. This was very disappointing as we have stayed here previously with no problems. The apartments are located in a great place that is accessible to town by foot.

Rooms need a makeover. Stained carpets, damaged walls, ceiling. Beds provided were comfortable however the fold out couches very uncomfortable, springs sticking out of mattresses.

Hard to find!

An address was given which we located quickly but it was not right place. A kind gentleman directed us to where he thought we should go but it wasn’t there either. Located a staff person from that one who was very helpful to locate someone at the property we rented and got another address. Once there, the sign was very difficult to see and finally located the right property. We left about 9 AM approx but never once saw or talked to any person from the location we rented. It appears there are several properties called Airlie Beach apartments or very close in name which caused the confusion. Proper address should be given in site online.

Nice hotel, close to the centre of Airlie.

We stayed in a twin room over New Years for six nights and had a lovely stay. The room was in great condition. The owners were lovely on the phone. The reception was usually unattended but there was a phone to contact the owners if need be. We tried to have a bbq one day but the bbq’s were hard to use so we just used our kitchenette. Overall we had a great stay in the apartments and I would recommend it.

Average Management and Maintenance

Second Time I have stayed at this property, On the first stay the manager texted details of the property and called to say the office would be closed after 5pm (Fair enough) and the key is under the door mat. First stay was OK, room at the top of the hill.
On the second stay, received a call from the manager in the morning wanting to know what time we would arrive, advised between 2-3pm, yet again the key would be under the mat as he had a Dentist appointment (interestingly it was only blowing 5 knots out at the reef),
Walked in to find 240V readings lights hanging form the wall above the bed with exposed wires, went to the bathroom, No toilet roll holder (roll on top of the cistern) The room this time was next to the road (directly opposite a supermarket loading dock), woken up at 4:30am to the constant sound of reversing trucks and forklifts for the next 2.5hrs.
Understand you get what you pay for, but leaving exposed 240V cables in a room - Not good enough regardless to price

Best location in Airlie

Great water views over Airlie Beach, very short (200m) walk into town and across the road from Woolworths. Apartment had plenty of room, comfy, cooking gear, laundry, clothes line (rare!). Management offsite but easily available via dedicated phone - and friendly. You would be pretty fussy if this didn't suit! Airlie now a bit more than the Whitsunday Gateway - worth a visit. And take the full day ride out to spectacular Whitehaven beach and Island lookout with Whitsunday Express- great trip!

Give it a miss if you're expecting awesome

IF WE HADNT ALREADY PREPAID, WE WOULD'VE LEFT AS SOON AS WE ARRIVED! For a supposedly recently renovated accomodation, it was in bad shape. The front door had a hole in it, the room security was lacking(louvres had been removed and replaced at some point to access the front door handle), the floor was gritty, mildewed ceiling and walls in the bathroom, cockroaches running rampant(even though there were baits in the kitchen cupboards), outside the back door leading to clothesline was filthy - don't think it had been cleaned ever) & green ants in back bedroom. Staff interaction non existent - blunt when did speak. If there's an upside, the lounge aircon and fridge were excellent, as well as the hot water in the shower. Location is great, view from front verandah is amazing also. Definitely only 2 star accomodation in current state.
