Fantastic view from the hotel to the ocean and rooms are very quiet. Good location with a short walk to marina, bus stops, 10 minutes walk to shops, cafe, restaurants and Woolies. Walking along the Boathouse path into town would be safer and relaxing than along the Shute harbour road.

A little overpriced for what it is. Our room was not particularly clean and there are probably better priced options that are closer to the centre of Airlie Beach.
