Paid a discounted ‘special’ rate a little more than a backpackers, for a very similar experience.
Pros:

Location close to Bus interchange & Ferry Terminal being a 5min walk with a further 5min walk into town.

Cons:

Very tired & dated property. Room in desperate need of a deep clean. Dust in shower vent, dust in Aircon limiting its effectiveness, dust behind bed, dust in window blinds. Small TV with limited channels, no WiFi signal. Shower in Spa Bath very difficult to get in/out of & quite dangerous to be fair with water overflow. Room was located directly opposite neighboring property pool deck so had to keep curtains closed day & night for privacy.

Dated but price and location are good
Pros:

Location and view. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Room was dated but had pretty much everything that was needed.

Cons:

The bed. It was like sleeping on a wooden floor.
Needs a second sheer curtain rather than just heavy blocking ones or an open window with no privacy.

Pros:

Although dated and showing its age a little it's a great option whilst staying in Airlie Beach, it certainly wouldn't stop us from booking again!

Overall it was very well priced and the issues outlined above were not difficult to deal with. So good value and we woul
Pros:

Well priced and in a great position. It was well resourced with kitchen items etc and had a balcony with water views.

Cons:

Very old floor tiles in the bathroom and shower was in a large bath with a step to get over the side of the bath.
There was an outdoor light that was shining into the bedroom. There were heavy curtains but the light entered at the side and under the bottom of the curtain. The sofa was very well used.
The previous occupants must have cooked fried fish so on the day of arrival there was a strong cooking smell.
