Well located adjacent to the Lagoon in Airlie Beach. Friendly front of desk staff. As others have mentioned, there is a fair amount of noise from the backpackers opposite. Also there is a small step between the main room and bathroom which serves no purpose except to cause toe injuries!

I booked a room for 2 of us and got a double bed and 2 singles, so it was certainly spacious! It would be a good place to house a group. The room was surprisingly quiet for how busy the area is. You can faintly hear the music coming from the backpacker bar across the street but it's not distracting.... More

We arrived in Airlie Beach without a reservation. We checked a few hostels first but they did not have private double rooms available anymore on the day itself. Whitsunday on the Beach still did though, and I'm sure we were much better of here! Although it was a little pricier than a hostel (we paid $90 where a double in... More

Terrible. Just terrible. Very low standard of rooms. Equivalent if not lower than the backpackers across the road. Kitchenette is a sink and a portable benchtop stove. Cannot have visitors of any kind for any length of time at and time. Got scolded several times for friends stopping by for a few minutes to organise the day. In the middle... More

Thank you for your review. These are the people we dont like staying with us as they disturb the other guests in the complex. I am not sure what part of no visitors on the property in the registration form they filled in and signed when they arrived that they did not understand???? And it seems that the "hangers on"...

My boyfriend & I stayed here in early January and were greeted by Sandy on the front desk who was extremely friendly & helpful.

Surprisingly Spacious, clean rooms with a kitchenette, nice balcone but with view only to parking lot. Good Location, very helpful and friendly staff -- everything you expect from a B&B. Can recommend

This was the last place we stayed after a week in Cairns. I expected to go home rested and relaxed after a lovely holiday.

Thank you for your review The guest in the room above you left the same day. Unfortunatly we cannot pick our guests and we can get some that are noisy and some that are as quiet as a mouse. I have checked your booking, you had booked our backpacker room which is our cheapest room. More
