"We loved our 2 night stay in room 18. It had a great view with a balcony overlooking the harbour and pool. The apartment was so comfortable, clean, spacious and had lovely decor. It had been recently renovated. It was an easy 15 minute walk along the water front into the centre of Airlie Beach. I loved that it was in a quiet area, had great views over the water and was close to restaurants and cafes. Geoff the manager was such a friendly man."
