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 park was family friendly and buzzing with activity. The playground was nearby, bird feeding at 4pm and they had food vans each night with different cuisines. Also a coffee van in the morning! Affordable and all you need, will defiantly stay again.

    The park was very family friendly, kids loved it. We didn't feel like we needed to travel to far to rest and relax. The kids had a wonderful time in the pool and loved the water slides and animal park. The woodfired pizza van was an unexpected treat and the mini golf was great!! Park was very well maintained and the staff were really lovely. Loved the little welcome gift in the fridge, wonderful touch and went perfect with a cuppa after the trip there.

    The suite was stunning and the view breathtaking. Having the separate living and bedroom space was a sanity saver as it gave our toddler more room to roam (and kept our baggage from being underfoot). The fully functional kitchenette was another big perk. The proximity to town was a perfect balance of close enough to be playing at a park within 15mins but far enough away that is was quiet at night. The staff were so accommodating and took wonderful care of our little family.

    Perfect place to stay for one or many nights. Great for families with kids or kids in heart with a nice pool, waterslides, mini golf, baby animals and mini gold. Airlie beach is just minutes away and the local shops practically at your door. There was a wood fired pizza van there on the night of our stay it was so good 😊 The staff at the reception and on the grounds are all very friendly. Definitely will stay there again for longer 😊

    Kids loved the slides, putt putt and how many other activities. Very family friendly. Camp kitchen facilities really good. Cabin we stayed in was set out well and was really close to the pool area which was great. Adults loved that the pub/bottle shop was just across the road. Friendly staff.

    The apartment was spacious, clean and I had a memorable view. Being able to use facilities ( such as pool) if you arrive early or have hours to wait from check out to transport arriving… is wonderful….. especially with children. Being able to book the restaurant for our large group family private function ( even though costly ) was also great! It meant we didn’t have to go elsewhere and have to arrange public transport back.
