We absolutely loved our stay at the Boathouse Apartments. The apartment was lovely, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect - close to the ferry and sailing cruises, and jet ski adventures. There were great coffee options downstairs, and we would take our coffee back up to drink as we enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony. The location was also close to Main Street (and the Whitsunday Sailing Club, which was a great spot to grab a bite and drink). We will stay again!

Our whole experience was fantastic! The accommodation was great; overlooking the marina, just a few minutes walk to the main street with restaurants, pubs, shops, & cafes. even our whitsunday islands adventure embarked & disembarked just downstairs. Perfect! Heather on Reception was very friendly and accommodating. An awesome 4 day trip.

My husband and I recently visited Airlie Beach for my 40th birthday, and chose to stay at The Boathouse Apartments as a treat. I am so glad we did, it was amazing! We had come across from Daydream Island around 10am and asked to leave our bags at reception until we could check in. The staff member offered to check if our room was ready, which it was, so we were given early access. Our room was clean, spacious and well appointed, with very comfortable furniture. The room was kept at the perfect temperature to beat the humid February weather. The balconies off the room were great. We spent a fair bit of time out on the larger one after our swims. The sun sparkling on the water of the marina was so peaceful.
The location of the hotel is great. Walking distance to the main street, but far enough away that it's lovely and quiet in the evenings. There are shops and cafes below the hotel, we enjoyed a meal at both cafes over our stay.
The pool was lovely. The space it's in, is really nice, with loungers, tables, chairs and BBQ facilities. We spent time there every day of our stay.
The staff we came across were all so wonderful and accommodating, not only letting us into our room early, but Mason, who was on call Saturday evening, was understanding and came out as soon as he could to let us back in after we'd left our key in the room.

The Boathouse Apartments market their property as \"Luxury\" apartments. They are far from that! The apartment we received was run down, dirty and in dire need of a refurbishment to meet \"Luxury\" standards. Even the toilet hadn't been properly cleaned.

My wife and I were reluctant to write this review, so emailed the Boathouse Apartments twice regarding our stay and concerns - both emails they completely ignored so hence we are now writing this negative review.

We could go into great detail but ultimately don't waste your money staying here. Book early and book somewhere else!

From the moment you step into the apartment, you realise youve made the right choice. The smell of the apartment hits you first, they've chosen a perfect diffuser scent that is not overbearing but makes itself known - and instantly gives a positive impact.

Then your eyes are locked straight ahead, through the apartment, to the glass balcony doors, where the marina , the ocean and the sky take your breath away.

The views and location set Boathouse ahead of all the other hotels I've stayed in at Airlie. There are 2 restaurants and a coffee place onsite. It is a few brief minutes walk across the road to the main street of Airlie.

The apartment (2 bedroom) is spacious, luxurious and modern. Fully equipped kitchen (all utensils, cutlery, crockery and homewares) , balcony off bedroom as well as off lounge area, overlook the marina and provide a perfect outdoor setting to relax and watch the sunsets.

Will definitely be back (am a local, Proserpine, who stays in town when socialising or events) - this is my new favourite accommodation!

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!

Excellent location, great staff, beautiful views of the marina. However apartment 118 is in need of an upgrade. Moldy blinds and outdoor couch, uncomfortable bed, shower would flood if water pressure was too high and the outdoor fan wasnt working so too hot to sit outside and enjoy the views. Needs a good clean
If you are staying there ask for a different room as they privately owned. Staff were lovely and location close to shops and restaurants. Just a shame the apartment was a let down

apartment very spacious with all our needs covered. Would stay again. Only gripe was that the ceiling vent fell off the ceiling and hit my friend. Not hurt but very startled.

Tired furnishing and furniture. No sun lounger at 213 even though others had them. Balcony furniture white plastic and very dirty.

Dirty hob.
Broken washing machine glass in door dangerous.

Broken mop. Etc.

Property is ok but definitely not worth the price per night. Rooms have not been maintained. Blinds were covered in mild, Airconditioning had a mouldy smell and huge water stain and mild on roof. Walls were absolutely filthy. No wifi. Pool was awesome for young kids.

The property is perfectly located at the marina and port of Airlie. Very convenient for cruises and island tours.

The only downside is WIFI connection cannot be access in your individual apartments unless you go down at the reception area.

Overall, we would refer it to our family and friends.

Great location

We are a family of 5 and booked a 2 bedroom apartment with an additional bed. From check in to check out our stay was perfect...no complaints at all. Beach towels were provided and the kids had an absolute ball in the salt water pool and the heated spa. The staff were great and quickly responded to any queries we had. We will definitely be back to stay again.

The location is right on the marina not far from Port of Airlie.

We had a fabulous stay at Mantra Boathouse apartments. Location is perfect, close to everything. The unit was spacious and comfortable. The only negative was there was no WIFI available in rooms, which at this price point is very disappointing and after an 8 night stay I had no data left on my phone which I had been using to research and book all our activities.

Location location

Two couples enjoyed three nights at the Mantra. The unit accommodated us comfortably, however a few more plates would have been appreciated as we had to wash up after every snack and meal. We liked the fact that the 2nd bedroom had access to their bathroom from the bedroom, providing good privacy.

The view from the balcony great and it is a FLAT walk to everything in town. If you know Airlie, you will understand the benefit. The main bathroom has shower over bath which we found a little difficult to negotiate, lucky there was an area at the end of the bath you could sit on and swing your legs around. Water pressure was good. The two bedroom apartments only have one car park provided which was not so great.

We would definitely stay and recommend the Mantra in Airlie.

A truly lovely place to stay

What a great place to stay in Airlie Beach- the apartments are close to Marina, Shopping area and restaurants. No in house restaurant though plenty around the area.
The apartments were well appointed with modern appliances. Beds were very comfortable and towels were soft and absorbent.
We were 2 couples in 2 bedroom apartment and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The property was ideally situated within walking distance to the main street, cafes, bars & shops. It overlooked the marina and had great views. The only negative things were we asked for an ironing board on the Monday as the one in the unit was broken we left on Thursday and still hadn't received one. The fridge and freezer door handles were both broken so it made opening them very hard and hurt your hands.

Great location Fabulous setting and view.Sinks toilets showers and crockery were not clean.We raised this and were offered another apartment which was worse so we stayed put.We booked for 5 adults but there was no provision for sleeping a fifth -when we raised this a fold up bed arrived promptly. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful but the cleaning was not up to standard especially in these difficult times.

Beautiful spacious unit with all the essentials, beautiful view and close to shops restaurants.
i found the bed uncomfortable, but that could be just me when you are used to a soft king size bed.
WIFI was only available for 1 hour a day, or you can purchase more.
Noisy on the balcony when everyone is out there having 5 oclock drinks.

Secluded but still close to town

Spent 5 nights here in a 2 bed and 2 bath room. Check in/out was easy, hotel staff were very helpful and assisted us with booking tours, leasing tennis/pool equipment, etc. The shopping/dinning complex underneath the hotel was mostly closed which I assume is a result of covid, only the La Marina restuarant was operating (side note: dined here one night and waited over an hour for our food, quite busy). The town centre is only a 5 min walk away with plenty to do/eat. The distance from the town centre was great as there is less traffic and noise. The room itself did show some age with a few issues; one of the sinks was clogged and water remained in it, the ensuite is a bath/shower combination that is quite high to get in and out of (very careful not to slip), one of the blinds was stuck and so it was permanently down during our stay which meant we lost out on the view from our room. The pool is a great size (had it to ourselves for most the trip), they also have a spa but be aware this is the same temperature as the pool and not ware as we would expect.

Nice position with waterfront views. For a hotel of its relatively new age there was a lot of marks and damage to walls, floor and paint. Shower over a bath is a pain to use and messy.
