'Nine Islands' Airlie Beach Luxury Holiday Home with ocean views

We had the most amazing stay at Nine Islands in Airlie Beach, celebrating my Gran’s birthday. The house was absolutely perfect and had everything we could possibly need. It was so spacious, allowing everyone to have their own space, and we especially loved the separate downstairs area. The pool was amazing and got beautiful sunshine throughout the day, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.One of the highlights was all the beautiful wildlife surrounding the property. My Gran especially loved the friendly cockatoos and kookaburras, which made the stay even more special. It really felt like our own peaceful, tranquil paradise surrounded by nature.The house is super close to town, but we would definitely recommend hiring a car as the property is situated up on a hill. This worked perfectly for us and made getting around easy.We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you for such a wonderful stay! 🌴☀️

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat

Kurz und knapp: Dieses Haus ist ein Traum! Dieser unglaubliche Ausblick hat uns fasziniert und in seinen Bann gezogen. Wir hatten wunderbare Tage, die wir sehr genossen haben. Das Haus ist grosszügig angelegt und in einer ruhigen Umgebung eingebettet. Ideal, um sich zu erholen. Eine kurze Autofahrt und man ist in Airlie Beach und damit mittendrin im Geschehen. Für uns ist klar: Wenn sich die Gelegenheit bietet, kommen wir wieder.

Penthouse living at the Port of Airlie

We recently stayed here for a family birthday. It was the ideal unit for 7 guests, especially with 4 bathrooms. The unit was spotless on arrival and check-in was very easy with lockbox instructions. The staff at Whitsunday Vacations were very helpful with all my queries. View spectacular, close to all amenities and we would have no hesitation in staying again.

Airlie Beach Marina-Front Luxury at 10 The Cove

We loved our stay! The host was easy to deal with, communication was great, and the house was easy to find with a very simple check-in.The place looks every bit as good as the photos. It’s in a wonderfully quiet spot, yet only a short, flat walk into the heart of Airlie Beach for shops, restaurants, tours and activities. Great coffee and breakfast are just a five-minute walk away, too.The house is immaculate, beautifully decorated and very comfortable, with aircon and everything you could need for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, and having a barbecue was a bonus. We especially loved the deck overlooking the marina, such a lovely spot to unwind.We’d happily stay here again on our next trip to Airlie Beach.
