"The property was great We would stay again but more than one night next time"

Martinique Whitsunday

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel - lovely room, incredible sea view and stunning pool with scenic views. Great location but prepare to hike up a steep hill after wondering around Airlie Beach - but it’s worth it!"

Magnums Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Right in the middle of Airlie Beach town, this is great for local restaurants and bars., as well as the beach. We stayed in a cabin which was spacious and had a small veranda to sit on at night. It is NOT quiet at night though, with live music and partying until the early hours. It didn’t overly disturb us but something to consider."
