"Room was spacious but dated - cracked tiles and dirty grout, curtains held on curtain rail with cellotape. Staff were great, really helpful and attentive. Pools were well maintained, really nice feature. Breakfast was a welcome surprise. Really nice. Would stay again because overall very good value for money just needs a little maintenance."

"Perfect stay in Airlie Beach. As a solo traveler, the room was clean and comfortable. The site itself is greatly maintained and gives the illusion of being in a jungle. The site is also centrally located in Airlie Beach, walking distance to the harbors for day trips, the Airlie Beach lagoon and beach areas. It’s also adjacent to a grocery store and pharmacy. The perfect stay for someone who plans on doing day trips and needs a comfortable place to sleep."

"This resort is brilliant for relaxing. Only 20 adults on site at any time, which provides a great ambience and chilled vibe. The transfers are magical - we chose the helicopter in, and the boat out.
