What's good? Great location, tidy rooms, plenty of family facilities including paid laundry, kitchen and pool. Best price we could find. Free safe parking on-site. 3 min drive from Airlie Beach marina. What's not so good? No flexibility at all in offering early check-in. This might not be suitable for bigger families but it was me and my wife so we managed the 4 hour wait. We do understand that this might not be possible during busy times but when I called to inquire about early check in two days before arrival I was told it's possible (still no assurances) but possible. but when we arrived we were told it's not and that check in is at 2pm. I have to say though after that everything was smooth and we enjoyed our stay so no regrets.

Absolutely gorgeous rainforest retreat. Nice simple breakfast options. Bed was super comfy. It is quite a way from the town centre (not walkable or at least a LOOONG walk) but that added to the quietness.
