Airlie Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay."

Daydream Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Book in for dinner or risk missing out."

Shutehaven Villa

8/10 Good

"A perfect little home for either a couple families or group of people. It is out of Airlie beach main strip, so much quieter but this also makes it tricker to organise transport - I would recommend hiring a car. Pool was beautiful and all the amenities worked well."

Picturesque on Passage

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Picturesque on Passage. The location is great and the view is fabulous! There is some maintenance required at the property (mainly fly screens and doors that need replacing and/or repairing). The top of the fridges needs a good clean and its a bit weird having to walk through a bedroom to get downstairs. Otherwise we were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay."

Panorama at Shute Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"The most beautiful view."

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat

8/10 Good

"he house was really nice, with a great pool, views, and surroundings. Our complaint was that we felt the house was not represented correctly. It worked out for us since we were all adults, but I’m not sure it would suit a family. It is listed as a four-bedroom house, but in fact, it is a two-bedroom house with a detached building that has a further two bedrooms and a bathroom included. There are 19 large outdoor steps down to these rooms, and unfortunately, it was raining most nights, so we got quite wet going to bed. These two downstairs bedrooms are actually one room separated by two steps up and no door, so they are not really two rooms and lack privacy. The back bedroom is quite pokey and claustrophobic. The standard of this downstairs space is not in keeping with the house itself.There was only one hairdryer provided for three bathrooms, the mugs and glasses didn’t match, and there could have been more crockery and cutlery provided. When paying this much for a property, this feels a bit cheap.There are also safety concerns if you had children with you, the porch around the pool is quite tall with no barrier and a drop straight onto concrete below. I don’t know if it is council compliant but it’s a long way to fall on concrete. Overall, while we appreciated the charm of the house and the stunning views, clearer communication about the property’s layout and improvements in safety and amenities would greatly enhance the experience for future guests."
