Colonial Palms Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, clean rooms, walking distance to the main street."

at Boathaven Bay Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good

"Stayed for 2 nights. Great location. Fantastic view. Room was spacious and had everything we needed. Bed comfortable. Shower needs renovating and it made the bathroom smell musty and mouldy. Wifi struggled and wasnt consistent. No pay TV. The bottom section of both wooden slatted balcony doors was filthy and was off-putting to see that it has been overlooked for a very long time. But overall it was a pleasant enough stay and would return for a short stay. The bathroom smell would not be favourable for us for too long."

Discovery Parks - Airlie Beach

8/10 Good

"We really loved staying here. Great facilities like the waterpark, pool, and jumping pillow. They also had little karts and e-bikes you could hire for an additional fee. The playground was a bit old and run down. Rooms were tidy and beds were super comfortable but some of the furniture like the chairs in the kitchen were a bit old and dirty. Otherwise well maintained and clean. Staff were always friendly and helpful. You can take a public bus for 50c just outside the hotel in both directions so can easily get into town, the port of airlie or shute harbour, or further out to Cannonvale. Maps and timetables available. Also the Northerlies Beach Bar and Grill will do free shuttles out to their beautiful venue. Some tours will also provide free shuttles to the marina for their activities. Others charge a fee. Overall a great stay. We stayed in a superior 1 bedroom cabin which was spacious for us and actually has a sliding door separating the main living room from it, and another separating it from the main bedroom with queen bed. Toilet/bathroom comes off the small area with the bunk as well."
