Good facilities but needed some extra cleaning
Pros:

Our apartment was very nice and spacious, with good kitchen facilities and all toiletries provided etc. The room was quiet at night despite being close to everything that you'd need in Airlie Beach. The view from our patio was also very nice looking out over the sea.

Cons:

The room could've been cleaner - the floor was a bit sticky (not a big deal) and there were stains on our bed sheet (looked like blood) and also one of the bath towels. We tried to contact the owners via the WhatsApp number provided but got no answer. On the whole was a decent stay but not without issues.

A peaceful and memorable stay with breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and the perfect balance of
Pros:

The view was absolutely incredible—panoramic water views with spectacular sunrises and sunsets that made the stay feel really special. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, with a lovely balcony to take it all in. The pool was a highlight, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the scenery. The location felt like a hidden gem—peaceful and quiet, yet still close enough to everything. We also loved waking up to birds chirping and even had the occasional cockatoo visit. Peter provided a warm welcome on arrival, and Tahlia was always ready to assist with any housekeeping needs, making the whole experience feel easy and well looked after.

Great place to stay- great facilities and fantastic views
Pros:

We had a genuinely fantastic stay here! The room was spotless, beds comfortable, hot shower, kitchen fully equipped,outside table great bonus, view from the apartment outstanding. Free use of towels for the pool ( which in itself was lovely - very clean and great view again!)The staff were excellent - Dean gave us a very informative chat on our arrival, sorted out our transport back to the airport and helped us out with our general enquiries throughout our stay.

Cons:

Not a complaint ( because you can't have a fantastic view without some climbing!) , but it is a fairly steep 5 min walk up to the apartments- very easy to get a taxi, but we walked up each time!

Pros:

Die Unterkunft hat alles, was man braucht und das Zimmer war sehr sauber.
Besonders hervorheben möchte ich, dass ich an meinem Abreisetag bis abends um 21 Uhr auf meinen Bus warten musste. Ich durfte trotzdem noch Pool und die Toilette benutzen. Das schätze ich sehr. Der Inhaber ist sehr nett und ich würde hier auf jeden Fall nochmal übernachten! Danke!
