Mooi uitzicht en zwembad met datzelfde uitzicht.
Pros:

Prachtige plek met mooi uitzicht en zwembad.
Van de accomodatie niemand gezien maar dat was in ons geval ook niet nodig.
Kamer prima, niet heel groot maar locatie maakt veel goed.

Loved it, would recommend.
Pros:

Great location with a lovely view, pool right outside the room, laundry facilities. Perfect 2 night stay and easy walk to the harbour for our boat trip to the Whitsundays, short walk into Airlie albeit a very steep hill back home.

Ausbaufähig, maximal für 1-2 Näche zu empfehlen
Pros:

Die Lage auf dem Hügel gibt einen tollen Blick von der Terrasse und dem Pool auf das Meer. Der Ort mit Restaurants/Shops ist fußläufig erreichbar. Die Parkplätze vor der Tür sind sehr hilfreich.

Cons:

Die aktuelle Bewertung von 8,5+ erschließt sich mir überhaupt nicht. Die Ausstattung ist maximal ok, die Sauberkeit ausbaufähig. Der Platz ist sehr begrenzt. Das Bad hat bessere Tage gesehen.
Auf den Bildern entsteht der Eindruck einer Terrasse, in Realität ist das der Gang auf dem die Zimmer nebeneinander liegen.
Die Rezeption ist nur zeitweise besetzt, wir haben in den 2,5 Tagen nie jemanden gesehen. Keiner hat sich gekümmert oder erkundigt.
Man muss den Müll selbst rausbringen, ansonsten wird eine Strafe angedroht.
Alles in allem für einen sehr kurzen Aufenthalt, bei dem man wenig Zeit im Zimmer verbringt, ok, ansonsten nicht zu empfehlen.

A wonderful stay!
Pros:

A lovely place to stay in Airlie Beach! The managers are wonderful and very friendly/accommodating. The staff are equally as lovely and work above and beyond to get your rooms ready for your convenience. The rooms are clean and comfortable, very good air conditioning and great WiFi! They even have a pool that looks over the harbour. A great location only a 5-10 min walk to the harbour.
