Really enjoyed our stay

Room was very clean and airey. Hotel staff and amenities were awesome. I could see a problem with the outside bar only being 10 mtrs from our back door ( that was a bonus for us...) but ask for a room on the second floor or one towards the end and you'll be good. overall, it's the perfect place to stay. Food , drinks and great people. What more could you want. Pizza is a must have. Why stay in Airlie when you can stay here? Thanks for a wonderful, easy and awesome night. Cheers Croppy, Kerian and Jenna.

Nice hotel with family bistro

My first impression wasn't that good. We arrived late & asked if we could make a booking at the bistro. The receptionists wasn't very helpful .. she didn't offer to ring them (bistro is attached to the complex) she said you can ring when you get to your room. When we got to our room I tried to use the phone .. it wasn't connected :( So I rang on my phone to reception & explained that the phone wasn't working .. she wasn't interested in what I said .. & switched me through to the bistro to make a reservation. Care factor NIL. Hotel stay was good .. 2 Hugh beds & very clean. They need maintenance in some areas but nothing to fill out .. & why bother as if it goes to the receptionist .. the care factor would not be great.

Older bathroom but tidy, big room

Pros: easy to find, close to airlie beach
Cons: bathroom update
Location: I was based at Abell Point Marina to easy access
good location, nothing much else around the motel. easy access from main road. Big room, smaller bathroom which needed an update although room was tidy. Reception was lovely lady. I had a van which didn't fit in the unit parking but parking was available on site.
