About Airlie Beach Apartments
When it comes to location in Airlie Beach, Airlie Beach Apartments has hit the jackpot. Sitting right on Waterson Way, literally across the road from Woolworths and just 100 metres from the main street, this is as central as it gets. Everything you need is within a flat, easy walk - no hills to climb, which is a huge advantage in this town.
The apartments are self-contained with full kitchens, air-conditioning, and private balconies. You can stock up on groceries at Woolies downstairs, cook your own meals, or wander across the street to dozens of cafes and restaurants. The property features a swimming pool, free WiFi, and free parking - all the essentials for a comfortable Whitsundays stay.
The team here also offers discounted tour bookings, which is handy since most Whitsunday trips depart from the nearby Port of Airlie and Coral Sea Marina. Whether you're planning day trips to Whitehaven Beach or diving the Great Barrier Reef, having accommodation this centrally located makes logistics simple.
What Guests Are Saying
"The location is great - only a minutes walk to the main street and across from Woollies. A few minutes walk to the lagoon or bus stop. The staff were great too."
Booking.com
"Amazing location! Once you're there, everything on the main strip of Airlie is within walking distance! Lovely staff, great facilities, clean room and amenities. Can't wait to stay again!"
Hotel.com.au
"The location can not be beat - no walking up hills, very easy walk to everywhere in Airlie Beach. The little Queen Studio we stayed in was very clean and bed was comfortable. The air-conditioning is fantastic, as is water pressure in shower and the facilities within the kitchen are great."
Trip.com
Heads up: The property is right on Waterson Way, so some apartments facing the road can experience traffic noise, particularly at night. Light sleepers might want to request a garden-facing unit or bring earplugs. The incredible central location makes up for it though - you're literally across from the supermarket and a one-minute walk to everything!

The Location
The biggest selling point of Airlie Beach Apartments is hands down the location. You're right in the absolute centre of town on Waterson Way - that flat part of Airlie Beach that doesn't require climbing any hills. This is massive, because much of Airlie Beach's accommodation sits on steep hillsides. Being able to walk everywhere on flat ground is a real luxury here.
What's Nearby
Woolworths Supermarket: Literally across the road. Perfect for grabbing breakfast supplies, snacks, or cooking a meal in your apartment kitchen.
Airlie Beach Lagoon: Just 400 metres away (5 minute walk). This free swimming lagoon is patrolled by lifeguards daily and surrounded by parklands with BBQ areas. Saturday mornings bring the Airlie Beach Markets to the foreshore.
Boathaven Beach: About 600 metres walk. A nice spot for a stroll or watching the sunset, though swimming is limited here.
Port of Airlie: 550 metres away. This is where many Whitsunday tours depart from, making early morning pick-ups super easy.
Coral Sea Marina: Around 600 metres walk. Most sailing trips, reef tours, and island day trips leave from here. The marina village has cafes and restaurants with water views.
Restaurants and Cafes: Dozens within 100-200 metres. Everything from casual fish and chips to fine dining, all an easy stroll from your apartment.
Why This Location Works
The central, flat location means you genuinely don't need a car in Airlie Beach. Walk to the supermarket, the lagoon, restaurants, tour departure points - everything is within 5-10 minutes on foot. For those early morning reef trips or sailing departures, you can literally roll out of bed 15 minutes before pickup and walk to the marina. Compare this to hillside properties where you'd need to arrange transport or face a sweaty uphill walk back to your room.
The trade-off is that being on the main road means some traffic noise, especially if your apartment faces Waterson Way. But for many travellers, particularly those here to explore the islands and reef rather than sit in their room, the location convenience far outweighs the occasional noise from passing traffic.
