Pinnacles

Pinnacles

10/10 Excellent
"The Pinnacles has the most amazing view over Airlie Brach as it is located on top of a small hill. It’s a 10 minutes walk into town but the walk back up the hill is not for the unfit. The infinity pool was stunning. Our apartment had a jacuzzi on the large balcony and a fully equipped kitchen. Management were really helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again."
