"We absolutely loved our stay at the Boathouse Apartments. The apartment was lovely, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect - close to the ferry and sailing cruises, and jet ski adventures. There were great coffee options downstairs, and we would take our coffee back up to drink as we enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony. The location was also close to Main Street (and the Whitsunday Sailing Club, which was a great spot to grab a bite and drink). We will stay again!"
"Lovely infinity pool. Shame it’s not heated. This the jewel in the crown. Nice enough apartment. Could do with more glasses but actually the kitchen is quite decent. Bathroom needs a deep clean and the balcony door could be more secure. Would recommend and stay again though, although it’s quite pricey compared to some other nearby blocks."
"Excellent location - so close to everything! Loved the tropical jungle surroundings - it made it seem like I wasn’t in a tourist town once I was on the Magnums property. I definitely recommend this place to other travellers!"
"Excellent views… clean rooms… comfortable beds…
Probably the only downfall was having to climb in and out of the spa bath for a shower… bit hard when you’re in your 70s😊"
"We loved our stay at the Pinnacles. The views from the apartment were stunning, it was very comfortable and spacious, which allowed us to combine work with a holiday. The infinity pool was exceptional. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat."
"This is our go to place to stay in Airlie Beach. We’ve stayed many times and always return. Our room had been renovated since our last stay and looked amazing. The property has the best views, lovely pools, hot tub and a decent size gym. The location is amazing, yes, there’s a little hill to walk up but it’s worth it."
