About Airlie Summit Apartments
Perched high on a hillside in the foothills of Conway National Park, Airlie Summit Apartments offers some of the most spectacular views in Airlie Beach. From your private balcony, watch the Coral Sea shimmer in different shades throughout the day, spot sailing boats heading out to the islands, and see Airlie Beach twinkling below as the sun sets. It's peaceful up here - surrounded by rainforest with native birds visiting the trees around the complex.
The apartments at Airlie Summit Apartments are genuinely spacious and modern, with everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay. Full kitchens come with quality appliances including dishwashers, there's a washer and dryer in each unit, and the open-plan living areas feel bright and airy. The on-site manager Anna is brilliant - guests consistently mention her warm welcome and helpful local tips about things to do in Airlie Beach.
While the hillside location means a steep walk back from town (most people taxi up for around $10), the trade-off is absolute tranquillity and those unbeatable views. The complex has a lovely year-round pool, lift access in most buildings, and secure undercover parking. If you want to be close to the action but away from the noise, Airlie Summit Apartments hits the sweet spot.
What Guests Are Saying
"From the moment we arrived, our warm welcome from Anna was the start of a fantastic stay. Our spacious apartment was fabulous, well set out with new furniture, and nicely decorated. We cooked a lot of meals and the big kitchen was great, well stocked with everything you need. The view is fantastic - we spent hours on the deck. The pool is a great size and a welcome relief after a busy day out."

"We had apt 59 it has fantastic views of Airlie Beach and the trees right next to the side windows. We saw lots of lovely birds in the trees and the kookaburras every day were a welcome sight. The staff are friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. It was quiet at night. The bed was comfortable. It is a fantastic place to stay."
TripAdvisor
Heads up: Airlie Summit Apartments sits on a steep hillside. Walking down to town takes 10-15 minutes and is easy, but the return climb is quite challenging - especially in the tropical heat. Most guests catch a taxi back up for $8-10. If you have mobility issues or are travelling with a pram, you'll definitely want a car. The views make it worth it though!
