we liked the place and the warm welcome we met here. the owners-managers were extremely positive and helpful. mind the fact that it is unlikely to be able to eat after 8 pm - we arrived at 8.40 and the kitchen was already closed. it was not a disaster though - we had a great dinner in Fish D'vine recommended...

My wife and I booked in here due to its rating in the RACQ guide. We were not disappointed. From the first meeting with the host until check out, we were quite taken with the welcoming attitude of all the staff. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The free light breakfast was made even better by the attention... More

Myself and my girlfrined recently paid a flying trip to Airlie beach and stayed at the Colonial Palms Motor Inn. We were very pleased with this accommodation for a number of reasons. The room was exceptionally clean and well maintained and although I didn't use the pool area, it looked well kept and nicely designed. There are currently roadworks taking... More

This was a one-night stopover, fresh off the ferry from the Whitsundays before driving up the coast to Port Douglas. It was fine. Not very pretty, not very luxurious, but it's not expensive either. We scored a good last-minute price on Booking.com which made it great value. Homely and friendly. Motel set-up where you park the nose of your car... More

We stayed for two nights and it was great. The staff are the best, the room we had (family room for 3) was superb, very clean and spacious. Breakfast is good, well organised with staff that want to help with a smile. We asked to leave our bags securely at the hotel for two days as we were sailing round... More

Easy access to town, the beach, the lagoon; everything is within walking distance. Good wireless internet. Rooms were fairly clean and well maintained. Parking is adequate. The property is very quiet compared to the drunken show going on across the street at the Blue Horizon. Breakfast at the restaurant is not varied but is adequate and served with a smile.... More

We all come on a holiday for pretty well the same reasons, to relax, well at Colonial palms you will do just that. Ok maybe you won't completely see the ocean but you look out on a beautiful view of the inlet and overlook the untouched Australian land towards the bay of Shute Harbour. What we loved most about this... More
