Gregory, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Delightful

The "curb appeal" is low but hides a little nugget of a hotel. The other side of the hotel has two beautiful and clean pools that are the perfect temperature. The staff was consistently kind and friendly. We were thrilled with our stay here.

Fantastic hotel, friendly staff, great location. Lovely pools and a decent breakfast.

10/10 Exceptional

The Inn is of an older style, open, airy and designed well to take advantage of the tropical sun and cool sea breeze. It is situated an easy walking distance from the busy area of town so a nice quiet place to retreat. Right on the public transport bus route from Shute Harbour to Proserpine, well priced rooms with views and friendly relaxed staff, I would recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Airlie Beach.
John, 3-night trip
