It is a retro motel, which I like. Simple & clean. Has everything I need. Central location on ocean side of Shute Harbour Road. Manager Richard was very accommodating.

The property was in an excellent position - close to everything. It was a bit rundown and in need of a spruce up but clean and comfortable. We were very happy to stay there.

Location was worth sacrificing the luxuries- check in was a breeze & the staff were friendly & helpful. Proximity & access to the lagoon, beach and dining was amazing! Only issue was an additional door at the rear of the apartment that opened into a strange hallway/storage area that seemed to also be accessable to all the other rooms- bit creepy and made me feel a bit unsafe despite it being lockable- didn't like the 2 access points

Nice property, small sufficient room for my needs. Right next to Airlie Beach Lagoon! Can not get closer to the centre of Airlie! Thanks!
