Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The room in this old style motel was comfortable. Right in the centre of town next to the Lagoon. Easy access to everything. On site parking,
Not peaceful at night however. Being so close to pubs and nightlife the noise from the street with people shouting etc wasn’t good. For two nights out of three it went on well after midnight. Very disturbed night.

Walkable distance to lagoon restaurants and shops. Outdated, could do with and upgrade, but all in all totally enjoyable stay.
Excellent location. View of the lagoon from the balcony. Good-sized fridge which I did use plus cooking gear which I didn't. Didn't have the room made for my 4-night stay tho.

Great central location close to shops and restaurants, owner is friendly and very helpful.
Very noisy due to pub music and nightclub across the road and the public lagoon to the other side with annoying mine worker blasting music on a speaker all day which is not the fault of the owner but does impact your sleep and experience.
Room was a bit run down but clean and beds are comfortable.
Overall if i were to visit Airlie beach again i would stay here, there are locked gates that made us feel a lot safer with all the drunk riff raff at night
Great location . Close to everything you need
Rooms were good.
Will definitely stay here again :)

Nice staff but not so clear information about the stay. Missing single-lever mixer in the shower.
Central position but hard to find amongst all signs - better signs of where you are wanted.

3 sleeper with couch and mini kitchen, has basics you need but not hotel quality however location is perfect, right on lagoon and close to everything.
Richard was amazing on arrival, he hung around even though we were going to be late.
The room was lovely, you can see they take pride in their rooms.
The aircon was on for us already which was greatly appreciated after a long drive.
Will definitely be back!
Great location being immediately behind the lagoon, friendly staff with clean rooms. Rooms are a little dated but wasn't an issue for us. We would stay there again.
