Cove 18 Luxury Whitsunday Waterfront Beach House
The property was fantastic and looked just like the pictures. Location was great, right on the marina and an easy walk into town. We were eight ladies and there was plenty of room to accommodate us. The kitchen was very well stocked with crockery and pots and pans. Communication with Ali, Hannah and Katy was precise and prompt with any answers to our questions. The only slight negative was the lounge was very deep and low and not totally comfortable for some of our "mature" bodies. I would definitely stay there again and would definitely recommend Whitsunday Vacations

Marina living with Whitsundays lifestyle
Such a perfect location. Right on the harbour, cafes in the complex and a flat, easy walk into the town centre….unlike most other properties ‘up the hill’ which have very steep streets to walk home. Apartment was as good as you could hope for. Comfortable, great balcony and fully equipped kitchen…comfy bed and pillows too.

Marina living with Whitsundays lifestyle
Beautiful apartment, beautiful view - will stay again!The property was spacious, clean and functional, plus it has a beautiful view over the marina. Well appointed facilities, including washer/dryer which was very handy after a week on holidays. We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony each morning, lapping up the gorgeous warm sun and the beautiful view. The property is also in a great location - coffee, restaurants and cafes downstairs underneath the building, and only a 5 minute walk into the main strip of Airlie for everything else. We ducked downstairs each morning for a coffee, and got takeaway pizza one night which was super handy!

Whitsunday Beachfront Apartment on Broadwater
Splendide !La vue magnifique depuis le salon et la chambre parentale à l’étage, notamment au lever du soleil.L’emplacement idéal entre la marina et le centre-ville : tout se fait à pied.Le bon équipement de la cuisine Nous avons regretté de n’y passer que deux nuits.Très peu de bruit car la route est en contrebas et peu passante.
