Perhaps leaning towards dated - but very clean, spacious rooms including bathroom,staff are so helpful, and lots of help/guidance with tours/trips and it is 100meters from the centre of all the food and shops so a great location, if you are watching your budget I would recommend these apartments.

We booked accommodation at Downtown Airlie, transfers both ways from Mackay airport and a boat trip on the Whitsundays Adventurer (operated by Explore Whitsundays) through Whitsunday Bookings and the service from start to finish was excellent. I've grown accustomed to the service in Australia, especially where there's a lot of backpackers, to assume you're a bad customer until you prove... More

We found this hotel nice and clean and in a great, central location. It is right opposite the lagoon at Airlie Beach and in the thick of all the shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for 2 nights in August. On the plus side it it situated very centrally. Everywhere can be reached on foot. On the minus side it is right on the main street and right opposite a nightclub which had shouting and singing and loud music until at least 3am!!!. Sleep was non existent. Rooms were ok .... until a... More

We hope you enjoyed your stay in the Whitsundays and apologise that our rooms were not better suited to your needs. We are looking at new ways to ensure that online bookings can specify if they require one of the quieter rooms out the back and will continue to strive for better service, room faclities and facilities.

after reading the reviews of others, I thought this would be great value for my money. But...this place was a dump, noisy and the service was not so great. for a young backpacker who is going to go and party all night..maybe a good place to stay. but if you would like to get some sleep and relax in peace...

Really good value accomodation in the heart of Airlie Beach. Rooms are very nice and you have everything you need right there. Mike and his wife are very helpful and booked our whitsunday cruise at a much better rate than the others that went on the same trip. We came back and stayed 1 more night after our sail trip!...

After walking up and down the main street and poking into various accommodation options, I settled on Downtown Airlie. This is by far and away the best bang for your buck here. For little more than I paid for an absolute dump (Beaches), I got a large, clean, modern suite. The TV channels were tricky, but other than that the... More

Great motel in the centre of Airlie Beach, cool rooms, great staff and a cafe downstairs. If you are looking for a place to be based and then head out to the clubs and pubs ..... this is the one.
