I love this place!

Cozy, chill spot to watch spectacular sunsets in the pool. To get that view you’ve got to get up a very steep, short hill so plan accordingly. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Owner is great and happy to book local activities. Good value for the area.

Perfect place of paradise!

I loved my stay in the apartment and wish I could have stayed longer. There’s quite a steep hill to get to it but the west-facing view is great for sunset and the pool right outside the room is wonderful. Peter is a very gracious host and ensured everything was comfortable for my stay.

Beautiful sunset views over Airlie Beach. Great vibe. The woman who essentially does it all is “Jamele” who cleans the rooms, manages the office, and helps guests with all details. Even with a broken ankle, she manages to always have a smile and a g’day for everyone.

Although the studio was small, the view was incredible as was the owner Peter who was very kind and helped us arrange 2 trips. The location was great, with good walkability to all local amenities. Most of the time the neighbouring rooms were quiet and considerate. Would highly recommend for a few days in Airlie Beach.

Room is a nice size, owners are lovely and helpful (including with booking transport to the airport after our stay) and there are no complaints about the lodging itself. Only thing we didn't like is that it is far away from food options and there are very, very few restaurants anywhere in the area that deliver. The info book in the room also does not give any guidance about food delivery. We got dropped off at the property around 7p and without transportation we nearly had to go the night without dinner.
