Waterview Airlie Beach offers clean and comfortable apartments with free Wi-Fi, kitchenette facilities, flat-screen TV and air conditioning. Enjoy views over the Coral Sea and Whitsunday Islands from your own private balcony.

We liked everything about this property. Staff were amazing, warmly greeting us and giving us great suggestions of things to do and where to eat. The location couldn’t be better with its short walk to the main street and beach. Our apartment was clean and comfortable. We highly recommend Waterview Arlie Beach.

The suite was very spacious, comfortable and clean. The views from the balcony and the infinity pool were breathtaking and the staff were incredibly helpful. We loved our stay and didn't want to leave!

Whitsunday on the beach is located on the Airlie Beach Lagoon in the center of town. All our studio units are self-contained with Reverse cycle air-conditioning, balcony or patio, outdoor setting and kitchenettes.

I think what absolutely made it different for me was the friendliness and helpfulness of Tracy and michael, the managers there. Plus the beautiful view from the balcony over the ocean. The apartments was very comfortable.

    The location and views were absolutely incredible!! Stunning is an understatement. The landscaping and design of the boat cabin right down to the sea view and restaurant. All the lights make it so magical at night time.

    Gorgeous and unique accommodation. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely setting. Good breakfast and mini-bar selection. Very relaxing. The rooms/cabins have all the modern facilities, including mini-fridge, kettle plus tea & coffee, A/C, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, pool towels, etc and feel very comfortable and the design is well-thought out. They even provide bug spray in each room.

    Great, modern and very cozy accommodation offering stunning views over Airlie Beach. Given it is a little bit up the hill, it is also very quite - but only few minutes walking distance to the vibrant center of Airlie Beach. Everything looks very new and was designed and equipped very well. Mick is a very welcoming host and we immediately felt home at the accommodation. Would have loved to stay longer.

    Gorgeous apartment in a stunning and ideal location on the marina. Beautifully decorated with all the mod cons and lots of little extras in the fridge etc. Just a couple minute scenic stroll to the main strip, yet nice quiet and peaceful in the apartment. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the balcony. Belle the host was so lovely, helpful and accomodating. We are already planning our next visit!

Attached to the hotel building is The Deck restaurant which serves delicious meals. The room furnishing were clean and neat, with large bathroom ensuite.
