Set in Airlie Beach, 700 metres from Airlie Beach and 1.4 km from Boathaven Beach, Casa Ava Airlie offers air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.7 km from Shingley Beach.

We loved our stay at Casa Ava and have already booked to come back in August. I am a clean freak and usually very fussy but the apartment was spotless and the bed sheets smelt so fresh and clean. We felt relaxed as soon as we opened the door. The bed was really comfortable which is hard to come by in a holiday unit. We loved sitting out on the balcony for an afternoon drink after a swim in the pool. There are even ocean views from the balcony! The café across the road was beautiful. We had a car but we didn’t even use it once, We walked everywhere. Can’t wait to come back.

    MICHELLE at reception is absolutely fantastic! She cannot do enough for you and we were grateful for her on a few occasions. The location is fantastic, so close to everything but far away to be out of the hustle and bustle, however, we visited in their quietest month of Feb. Yes the hill is very steep but it’s only a short hill. Beautiful views from the balcony!! Cheap and cheerful hotel if you’re on a bit of a budget. Quite outdated but clean. Would definitely come back as we had no issues at all
