The property is in very easy walking distance to the Port of Airlie and easy distance to the main shopping area. Unfortunately breakfast and storage of luggage is not available before 7 am, so if you have to catch an early boat it makes it a bit more difficult.

Such good value and a very easy walk into town. Super quiet which worrisome me given it’s surrounded by high rise apartments.
