10/10 Excellent
"Right in the middle of Airlie Beach town, this is great for local restaurants and bars., as well as the beach. We stayed in a cabin which was spacious and had a small veranda to sit on at night. It is NOT quiet at night though, with live music and partying until the early hours. It didn’t overly disturb us but something to consider."
