We had a wonderful stay at Nautilus on Nara. The property was beautiful, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was fantastic, and the place was clean, well-presented and felt very welcoming. The views were absolutely amazing from the outside deck. We really enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again. The perfect place to unwind and enjoy the area. Highly recommend Nautilus on Nara!

Amazing Penthouse with Breathtaking Airlie Beach Views
Wow, we had an amazing 4 night stay, my 3 adult daughters and 2 girl friends for my 70th birthday weekend. The views were spectacular, quiet and private outlook, with spacious spacious living areas. The living/dinning room and two of the bedrooms with full wall sliding windows onto a huge connecting verandah. Add to that the rooftop BBQ area, with a private swimming pool and spa, provided lots of areas to hang out together or sit and have private chats. Kitchen/dinning areas great for hosting family meals. Woolies for shopping and lots of great restaurants were just at the bottom of the hill, a bit too steep for me to walk, 5 mins by car. We enjoyed the great live entertainment at The Airlie Beach Hotel, and the Saturday markets. Honestly a great venue for family get together.
