We stayed here for our honeymoon and were amazed at the quality of the rooms and service provided. Very close to the local shops and eating places. It's great because it's small so there are never too many people around, very quite and relaxing atmosphere. The spa on the balcony was a plus and the bed was very comfy. The... More

We decided to extend our stay in Airlie by a night so we could do an extra day tour. Being unable to stay at our original hotel we booked this one online as we were tempted by the luxury spa suite. The 'resort' feels more like a motel with carports for carparking and entry to the rooms straight from the... More

My husband and I stayed at The Waterfront Whitsunday for our first year anniversary. When we arrived, we were greeted by Shannon Kennedy who is very friendly and helpful. We stayed at the Luxury Spa Suite - the bed, pillows and the lounger are very comfortable. The bathroom is nice and has quality toiletries. The place is neat and tidy.... More

A group of us friends decided to have a weekend in a flash 3 bedroom penthouse in Airlie and this one took our interest purely due to the 6 person spa on the balcony. It was a lovely weekend and the apartment was very nicely laid out. There were some things which could have been better though: Pros: Private Jaccuzzi... More

Stayed here after booking on wotif.com. Got a great rate. Waterfront only has 6 rooms (from memory) - I checked in in the evening and they had organised for me to get the key after-hours. The 'resort' is about 5 minutes from town, on the side of a hill (steep drive way). Rooms are very well fitted out - I... More

Shannon in reception was friendly from the minute we stepped in. The room was just lovely, my husband made himself very comfortable. Pool was great, deep enough for a leisurely swim. Terrific balcony with spa and lounge chair and seating and table. All the amenities needed, even down to a iPod dock and a great coffee machine. Great mini bar... More

A fantastic room with a spa tub and gorgeous pool outside the door. A short walk into town, great location with a fab view. Very modern, clean and well appointed. Everything we needed as very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Would recommend.

Top spot, just far enough from town to be quiet, but close enough to walk to everything, clean, spacious and really well thought out, fantastic pool with a view, spa on the balcony, 18+ is a great idea also

Owning a Caravan Park myself and very fussy when it comes to cleanliness, this is the first place I have stayed where I didn't feel the need to wash everything first..the room was spotless and very tastefully decorated. The bed was also very comfortable which is a bonus when you are away, and the mini bar prices were very reasonable... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and were in Apartment 2 which has direct access to the pool. During our stay we were the only ones to use the pool which was fabulous. The apartment is comfortable with some good finishing touches like the scented tea lights, pool towels, and breakfast packs came in handy. The mini bar was quite... More
