Perfect place of paradise!
I loved my stay in the apartment and wish I could have stayed longer. There’s quite a steep hill to get to it but the west-facing view is great for sunset and the pool right outside the room is wonderful.
Peter is a very gracious host and ensured everything was comfortable for my stay.

Although the studio was small, the view was incredible as was the owner Peter who was very kind and helped us arrange 2 trips.
The location was great, with good walkability to all local amenities.
Most of the time the neighbouring rooms were quiet and considerate.
Would highly recommend for a few days in Airlie Beach.

Room is a nice size, owners are lovely and helpful (including with booking transport to the airport after our stay) and there are no complaints about the lodging itself. Only thing we didn't like is that it is far away from food options and there are very, very few restaurants anywhere in the area that deliver. The info book in the room also does not give any guidance about food delivery. We got dropped off at the property around 7p and without transportation we nearly had to go the night without dinner.

We had a great stay here and only stayed because of the reviews. We usually stay in bigger spaces. The staff were amazing. Celena was fantastic. A few hiccups when we arrived like no gas in the BBQ and no pool towels in the room BUT unlike other places this was rectified straight away, so again customer service was above and beyond. Would love to see another shampoo AND conditioner when we stay next :) Thx for the views, fun and laughs...

Beautiful views from the deck but an uncomfortable walk into Airlie due to the steepness of the hillside.
Access to the unit is from a shared balcony and parking is quite tight.

A very comfortable stay!
A perfect stop off in Airlie Beach before we joined a Whitsundays cruise.
Rooms are simple but spotless and with a very comfortable bed.
The small pool was perfect for a dip to cool off and the view out to the marina and landscape behind topped off a wonderfully easy stay.
We didn't use the in-room catering facilities but seemed well equipped with enough to cook a simple meal (hob and microwave, no oven). The full size fridge was useful for a couple of beers though! And a jug of chilled water already in there was a thoughtful touch.
Washer and drying facilities also available - again appeared well maintained and clean unlike some of the washers we've come across during our trip! Air drying racks were another thoughtful touch to make the most of the warm weather instead of paying for the tumble dryer.
Peter was a welcoming and helpful host, thanks for a great little stay!
