Top Lovers Cove Hotel Reviews

Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat

8/10 Good

"Car parking bit tight, and not near the rooms. if your a bit elderly I would imagine getting up the steep hill to the rooms may be a bit of a mission. All and all was a lovely stay and rooms were comfortable."

Daydream Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms, staff were so friendly and helpful, and lots to do in the island for the little kids as well as the big ones (adults)!"

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"A good value motel next to Port of Airlie. I stayed one night before boarding a boat. The room is average quality and suited my needs. Clean, comfortable, quiet. The restaurant was very good, you don't need to go to town to eat. Staff were all friendly. Breakfast was OK. I'd stay again."

Airlie Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location! Walkable distance to Port of Airlie and so many shops and restaurants. It was right above a very lively restaurant called The Pub, so when we first got there it seemed quite loud, but the doors and room are pretty soundproof. If you prefer a super quiet area, then ABH probably isn't the best choice, but if you prefer convenience, then this is a great choice. We also loved the cockatoos visiting us on the balcony in the mornings :D. Note: the wifi in our hotel room was not the greatest. Overall, would book again!"
