Coastal Haven Retreat - Luxe Airlie Beach Holiday Home
Absolutely flawless experience. The view was incredible, the beds were super comfy and there was heaps of space throughout. The huge balcony was amazing and we spent so much time out there taking in the view. Beautiful interiors, spotless and really well thought out. We loved using the sauna and spotting all the beautiful wildlife in the area. We even enjoyed the challenge of the steep walk back each day. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Amazing Penthouse with Whitsundays lifestyle
We had a fantastic time staying at this penthouse in Airlie Beach! The property offers breathtaking views of the coastline, which we couldn’t get enough of throughout our stay. The space is incredibly generous, with plenty of room to relax and unwind. We especially loved the open layout and the inviting living areas — perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings.The penthouse is well-equipped with lots of amenities that made our stay comfortable. While some of the amenities were a little dated and could use some attention, the location was ideal for a relaxing holiday. We also appreciated that several local activities and restaurants offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off from the property — a really nice touch!Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this penthouse to anyone visiting Airlie Beach.

Shutehaven Beach House with Ocean Views.
Charming & relaxing older vintage home with spectacular viewsOutstanding views with peace & quiet. Hybrid mid-century modern/spanish mission style older home, simply & adequately furnished without fuss making for a comfortable & relaxing older home with several outdoor spaces to sit & relax. Yes, it is an older home and could do with some cosmetic work in places, but it is also charming. Terrific for a relaxing, peaceful holiday and has both fabulous fans & aircon for when you need to escape the outdoor heat & humidity. Also close to Airlie Beach and for boat trips both the Port of Airlie and the Shute Harbour Marina/terminal. Best if you have a car while you stay here and there is plenty of parking on site.

Amazing Penthouse with Whitsundays lifestyle
Amazing apartment with its own pool and mind blowing views… the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. I can’t imagine wanting to stay anywhere else. We have stayed at this resort before, but didn’t have a penthouse… now I can’t imagine not staying in the penthouse. The kids loved getting up and heading straight to our own pool, while we watch on with morning coffee. Only thing to maybe be aware of is the walk into town if you don’t have a car… it’s a big hill, however plenty of taxis and courtesy buses to different places in Airlie beach.

"High Tide" - Whitsundays Beachfront Accommodation
Wow! Just wow! The views from High Tide are incredible, with multiple options to sit and enjoy them - dining area balcony, outdoor sofa area balcony (perfect for sunsets), main bedroom balcony or from the lovely pool. All looking out to Pigeon Reef and Double Cone Reef. Our family really relaxed and enjoyed the space and could have stayed on for weeks! It’s a great base for activities (reef and Whitsunday trips, crocodile safari and various local hikes). The Fat Frog cafe (delicious coffee and food) is just 5 mins walk away. We popped into Airlie beach for a few meals, visit the market but honestly, for us High Tide was perfect for peace and privacy whilst still being close to everything we needed. Thank you to Ruth and Paul for sharing this beautiful home.
