This is our go to place to stay in Airlie Beach. We’ve stayed many times and always return. Our room had been renovated since our last stay and looked amazing. The property has the best views, lovely pools, hot tub and a decent size gym. The location is amazing, yes, there’s a little hill to walk up but it’s worth it.
