A Breathtaking Picturesque Scene

The Great Barrier Reef is a must see when visiting the Whitsundays. It is a World Heritage listed site and full of beautiful coral and colourful fish. The Great Barrier Reef is more than 2,300kms long and acts as a ‘barrier’ along the North QLD coast, which shelters the shore. That is how it got its name and this barrier is also the reason that the North QLD shore doesn’t have surf, because it is too protected.

The Great Barrier Reef is made up of more than 1,400 species of coral and countless numbers of bright tropical fish. You can travel to the Great Barrier Reef through Cruise Whitsundays for approximately $270 per person.

The Cruise Whitsundays boat can pick you up from Airlie Beach (Port Of Airlie Marina), Hamilton Island or Daydream Island and take you out for a day trip to the reef. Once you arrive, you can go snorkeling with the beautiful local fish as shown above. Or if you aren’t a good swimmer, you can jump in their glass bottom boat which will take you past the reef. Cruise Whitsundays will also provide you with a delicious lunch while you are out there, which is catered for by a local seafood restaurant.

There is also an underwater observatory, guided scuba diving tours and helicopter scenic flights available!

Relax & Daydream at 2 Elementa
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the house was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The house is well furnished and well thought out in providing towels as well as all the basic facilities. The balcony and view from the house is amazing, and we enjoyed the pool which also had a fantastic view.

"High Tide" - Whitsundays Beachfront Accommodation
The view here is absolutely stunning—just like the photos, but even better in person! The house is super spacious with great amenities, and the cleanliness really stands out. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time! Plus, there’s an amazing café just down the road that locals swear by. I highly recommend this place for your next trip to Airlie Beach! You won’t regret it!

Uninterrupted Marina Views at Port of Airlie
Four of us stayed 5 nights in January at Mark's place & we had a great time. The location was great, just a short walk away from the main street & local shops, cafes & restaurants. The condo was as described with great air conditioning which we needed because of the heat! Friendly communication from Mark was consistent & we appreciated that he let us leave our luggage for a few hours as we had a later flight. Thanks Mark, your place made our stay amazing in Airlie Beach!

3 Bedroom Holiday Home, Valley Views in the heart of Airlie Beach
Wonderful views - felt like our own little treehouse! Pool was absolutely perfect for our 2 year old niece who had an absolute blast. House is spacious and has most things you need to be able to cook during your stay. Location was super central, and we were able to easily walk or drive to anywhere we needed to go.

Whitsunday Beachfront Apartment on Coral Esplanade
Beautiful views, and great coffee at ‘Froggies’. Bus close by, but Ubers and taxis are not reliable (and no uber eats or food delivery). If you don’t have a car, I recommend you order Coles online delivery in advance (they do next day delivery). Easy to walk to Coles, just a little too far to walk back with lots of food or heavy items. Or there is a great butcher within a 5 minute walk. Accommodation was great, had everything we needed. And host communication was excellent. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!

Luxury Airlie Beach Home with Panoramic Ocean Views
We had the most amazing stay at this stunning mountain-top home during our trip to Airlie Beach! The views were absolutely jaw-dropping, with the perfect blend of lush mountains and sparkling ocean as far as the eye could see. Every sunrise and sunset felt like a private show. The house itself was beautifully designed, with spacious, open-plan living areas that maximized the views from every angle. The interiors were elegant and comfortable, with all the amenities we could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The outdoor spaces were equally impressive, perfect for soaking in the scenery or enjoying a meal. The location was ideal—just a short drive to Airlie Beach and the surrounding attractions, but still offering peace and seclusion. Our host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a seamless stay. If you’re looking for a luxurious retreat with unforgettable views, this home is an absolute gem! Highly recommended!

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat
WOW!! What an incredible property...worth every cent! I had the privilege of staying at Vue de blue with my four children for a week. We felt immediately at home and at peace. It was so peaceful, all you literary heard was sounds of nature. The beds were super comfy, had some of the best sleeps ive ever had. All the amenities were perfect and the pool was definitely the highlight...my children and I practically lived in there throughput the day. Lounging around, watching movies and playing boardgames ...honestly hands down the BEST holiday we have ever had. Thank you for letting us into your home, we'll be back for sure!

Mazlin House, Airlie Beach Waterfront Holiday Home ** New Waterfront Pool installed!**
This is an exceptional place that lives up to expectations, and it is a very close walking distance to all the places you need to be, not to mention it is close to Doctor's rooms, as well as Pharmacy and 24hr Cafe, and it is right close to the top of the start of the main street where all the info anb booking shops are, close to a Woolworths, and so on - best of all direct line of sight of the big swimming pool you see in all the broshures! You will be happy.
