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.

We had a great stay here and only stayed because of the reviews. We usually stay in bigger spaces. The staff were amazing. Celena was fantastic. A few hiccups when we arrived like no gas in the BBQ and no pool towels in the room BUT unlike other places this was rectified straight away, so again customer service was above and beyond. Would love to see another shampoo AND conditioner when we stay next :) Thx for the views, fun and laughs...

Beautiful views from the deck but an uncomfortable walk into Airlie due to the steepness of the hillside. Access to the unit is from a shared balcony and parking is quite tight.
