Guest Reviews

• Geoff (8/5): A comfortable stay in an excellent location. - The location is excellent - elevated with great views but just a gentle climb from the town centre which is only a couple of hundred metres away. Rooms are clean and quite comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The furnishings and fittings are old and dated, but in good condition. Despite a roomy bathroom, the shower recess is very small and cramped and is positioned right next to the doorway so that you tend to bump into it when entering the bathroom.
• Natasha (10/5): Location location - Awesome location and great view!
• Jade (9/5): - The view was beautiful
• Jemma (10/5): - Location
• Caterina (7/5): Discreto per fare la gita alle Whitesundays - La posizione! Molto panoramica La pulizia non era al Top e nella stanza si sentiva cattivo odore.
• Russell (10/5): 10/10 - Location, view, price
• Claire (10/5): - We loved our stay here!! It was in a perfect location with beautiful views!! The staff was also super helpful and friendly! No complaints!
• Charley (7/5): Great find at short notice! - I booked this the day before arriving and was so pleased! I had a one bedroom apartment on the ground floor and had fantastic views over Airlie Beach! Made the stay! Also to note, the staff were super friendly and welcoming! It’s a little dated, with a bit of updating this property could be 5* self-catered accommodation!
• Marcus Williams (10/5): Great location with amazing staff. - Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Great location.
• Rob (9/5): We had a great time & would recommend Waterview for its great location. - Great location & lovely view of the town and the sea from our balcony (room 2) We stayed for 4 nights but didn’t get fresh towels during our stay. We were out on trips each day so the office was closed and we didn’t get the chance to see anyone to request them. Our bin wasn’t emptied either. Just a couple of things that would have improved our stay.
• Wayne (9/5): Great location , staff and room - Excellent host and great location Nil
• James (9/5): -
• robert (10/5): - Vue incroyable
• McDonald (8/5): - Great location close to town with lovely views. Everything you need for comfortable stay. Communication was a bit lacking. Booking said check in after 2pm we arrived at 5 and no one was there. Was no big deal as keys were waiting for us but email advising that reception times were limited would have taken away any stress.
• Shirley (9/5): Clean comfortable accommodation in a great location. Friendly staff. - Great view and location in proximity to the Centre, yet quiet. Apartment exceptionally clean and fresh. Good off street parking. Assistant manager Jess was so friendly and helpful. If the property had a pool I would stay there every time…
• Doug (9/5): Great two day stay - View from room 3 over the bay superb Clean and comfortable Great value for money Shower not very powerful
• Morna (10/5): -
• Xiyue (10/5): -
• Csaba (9/5): Great accommodation, nice and helpful staff. - The location was perfect and the panorama was fantastic. Everything was fine.
• Morna (10/5): - Sam was excellent, a very warm welcome and couldnt be more helpful. The sofa bed is very uncomfortable.
• Simon (9/5): Great location for the town and very helpful staff - Really good location and super helpful staff, I was there during a cyclone, the town lost power and water was everywhere, but they could not have been more helpful Nothing, if visiting Airlie Beach it’s a good place to stay
• aidan (9/5): -
• Greg (9/5): Sam from reception was amazing and extremely helpful, she is a great asset to Waterview 👍👍👍 - Location Bed options
• Florin (1/5): Room overbooking - Nothing We arrived onsite and the lady at reception said we had a longer stay booked with them, then she said we had no booking even though we showed the booking reservation. She started to blame booking.com for the situation, however such situation never happended to is before. I suspect they simply overbooked. A really bad experience to travel 20000 km and find out you had no place to sleep.
• Alessia Selvatici (10/5): - Vista panoramica meravigliosa L'eventuale checkout in ritardo (anche solo di mezz'ora) ha un costo aggiuntivo
• Pablo (7/5): -
• Jahwa (10/5): View絕美 - 地理位置極佳，View絕美。 戶外露台可以看夜景與海景。 曬衣服方便。 無
• Anthony (8/5): Great place to get away, would recommend staying here again - Great location, it was an apartment, cooking facilities and very clean. The staff were very friendly.

• cyril (9/5): Parfait ! Avec un tres bon accueil - L’emplacemznt et la vue Rien
• Julia (9/5): Absolut empfehlenswert. Würden sofort wiederkommen. Personal mehr als freundlich und hilfsbereit. - Super Lage, toller Meerblick, sehr schönes Appartement. Der Balkon lud zum verweilen ein. Bett und Bettzeug sind leider schon in die Jahre gekommen. Bad könnte ein bisschen moderner sein.

• Hicks (10/5): -
• GARRY (9/5): -
• Ryan (10/5): Amazing would come back again! - Location is amazing
• Fride (6/5): Fin leilighet i rolig strøk - Veldig bra beliggenhet, det ligger i et litt roligere strøk av byen, noe som var veldig deilig. Det tar bare noen minutter å gå til kafeer og restauranter. Noe som var helt supert. Leiligheten hadde også god plass med sitteplass ute. I leiligheten vår luktet det veldig av asiatisk mat. Usikker på om lukten kom gjennom ventilasjonsanlegget, men det var hvertfall en veldig sterk lukt som ikke gikk bort.
• winfried (10/5): Ein schöner Aufenthalt - Ein grandioser Blick über Airle Beach
• Raneem (10/5): i recommend staying here if looking for a clean, cozy and budget friendly stay in Airlie beach - Before my stay, I sent the property a note explaining that I have severe allergies and very sensitive skin — I get insect bites easily, and my body reacts badly if the place isn’t perfectly clean. I asked them to please make sure the apartment, bed sheets, and blankets were spotless because I was coming for a holiday and really wanted to relax without any health issues ruining my trip. From the moment I arrived, the staff were absolutely amazing. Sam, who welcomed us so warmly and professionally at the reception and Lea. Sam kindly offered to store our luggage until check-in time (around 2 pm) and gave us helpful tips about the area and activities nearby. When we finally entered the room, I was so impressed. Everything was sparkling clean — the sheets, the towels, the kitchen, and the bathroom. There was not a single sign of dust or insects, and the room smelled fresh and pleasant. I didn’t experience any allergic reaction during my stay, which is rare for me. I truly appreciated how carefully they had prepared the room. I stayed for four nights from 23th Oct- 27th Oct 2025, and I never needed to ask for anything extra because everything was already there — towels, tissues, kitchen equipment, blankets — all in perfect condition. Still, they told me I could always contact them anytime if I needed something, which made me feel very well taken care of. Every day, I would go out to explore Airlie Beach and come back to a clean, comfortable, peaceful apartment. It really felt like home away from home. The location is perfect too, just a short walk from the main Airlie Beach area and the marina. When we checked out, Lauren was so kind and helpful. I want to sincerely thank them for their excellent hospitality and for making my stay so enjoyable and stress-free. I absolutely highly recommend Waterview Airlie Beach to anyone visiting the area — especially if cleanliness and comfort are your top priorities. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.
• Lin (10/5): The best location just beside the city center, great view of the harbor, very kind staff! -
• LIDAN (10/5): 超出预期 - 酒店员工非常热情友好，劳拉非常友好，主动帮助我们。 没有
• Sylvie (10/5): Magnifique belle vue - Magnifique. Bel appartement avec superbe vue sur la mer et les bateaux. Très propre et très bien aménagé. Tout ce que l’on a besoin s’y trouve. Très très bien placé pour découvrir la ville tout est proche. voiture garée devant la porte. On a tout à de adoré Rien
• Nigel (10/5): Superb - Excellent location, very comfortable, staff were excellent! N/a
• Southworth (10/5): -
• Marjo (8/5): Redelijk tot goed verblijf in appartement - De ligging is prima met prachtig uitzicht, groot balkon. Het appartement is verouderd en de badkamer vooral de glazen douchewand was niet schoon.
• Kerrie (9/5): -
• Gerhard (9/5): Gerne wieder für ein paar Tage - Tolle Lage am Hang, Blick auf Stadt und Meer, alles zu Fuß erreichbar - dennoch sehr ruhig. Info zu "late arrival" vorab per Mail, alles ok.
• Lyn (10/5): Great place to stay in Airlie Beach - Good location and our apartment had everything we could need. Staff were most helpful. An easy walk to the beach front public pool which made up for there being no pool on site. This is being picky but the mattress wasn't as comfortable as I'd like.
• Michael (9/5): Excellent accommodation and centrally located. - Excellent location and views from the patio were great, I would highly recommend this accommodation and would return. All good.
• Peter Gerard Hubertus (10/5): - Het uitzicht en de locatie en het appartement Niets
• XIAOYAN (10/5): 舒适温馨很适合度假 - 房间很干净，有厨房方便自己做饭，锅碗用具很齐全；距离主街很近，离海边和公共泳池playground很近，非常方便。我们的托运行李被航司delay，房东非常积极帮我们跟航司沟通解决问题，很好的房东

• andrew (8/5): - Great staff, wonderful view, comfy bed! Some elements of the kitchen/lounge area were a bit tired..
• Cherrish (10/5): -
• Reiner (9/5): -
• Jamie (9/5): Waterview appartments - Easy access to main street and view was amazing. Bed & couch were a little uncomfortable.
• Victoria (8/5): -
• Jason (8/5): Really Nice. - Most things. Was a beautiful location, and the apartment was well equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom needs repair. Shower head assembly needs replacing, Toilet seat loose, Toilet flush assembly loose. It's a cheap repair, but it would make all the difference.
• Virginia Francesca (9/5): Stunning 🤩 - It is clean, close to the centre, beautiful view from the balcony, full of all comforts! Nothing.
• Gemima (10/5): -
• Nic (10/5): Central, clean, comfortable, calming, convenient - Staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, loved sitting on the balcony in the evening and feeling like we were part of the Airlie nightlife with views of the town, Ferris wheel and boat lights on the ocean. Fantastically central, able to walk to groceries, restaurants and all the Great Barrier Reef Festival activities. Being a small complex, it was quiet, and our apartment had its own individual entry. Unfortunately smoking is allowed on balconies and the people staying in the next door apartment were heavy smokers which impacted our enjoyment of the balcony and views. It a slight uphill climb back to the apartment which might be more challenging in the humid summer months. There is no complex pool which didn’t worry us in winter but can go downhill to the public lagoons to swim
• Yusra (7/5): Cute stay with a view - Great view from the balcony. Had all the basic amenities. Short walk from the main high street.
• Jones (9/5): Superb - view was great, location very good, just a short walk down steps to town, unit was clean. Lady at reception very nice and very helpful, she changed our room on arrival to make it easier with our luggage. all was very good
• Deborah (8/5): Very good -
• Gregory (7/5): Good -
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janet (10/5): Sam was super helpful and friendly.thank you for a lovely stay - Fantastic location and wonderful view. Spacious and spotlessly clean.
• Somnath (10/5): Exceptional - Very well maintained property with an excellent location close to all the major attractions and Airlie CBD. Value for money !!
• Patricia (8/5): Very good -
• Jg (10/5): Fabulous view of Airlie Beach waterfront, convenient for dining out with easy walks. - The manager, Sam, meeting us and willingness to assist us with other activities. Perfect for a couple. The view from the unit definately a Waterview of Airlie beach and out to islands. The location was perfect for walking, the apartments are set on the side of a hill and there are access steps leading to the main street intersection. With direct access to the main street of Airlie Beach everything we needed was accessible. The unit was very clean, well stocked with toiletries etc. The kitchen plenty of cutlery and cooking requirements. There wasnt anything we didnt like about Waterview. I would recommend to any friends to stay here and should we holiday in Airlie this will be where we stay.
• Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mario (8/5): Very good -

• Karen (8/5): Very good - The location is perfect. Many restaurants within a very short walk. The apartment had everything we needed. It was clean and well appointed. A note if you hope to use the laundry facilities: they are only open 9am-4pm. If you are going on excursions, it is impossible to utilize the laundry facilities.

• Cherie (9/5): Wonderful time. Thank you. - The views from balcony and kitchen. So close to town and main street. A private pool would make it an exceptional experience.
• Sophie (10/5): Loved it here! - The location was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. n/a
• Deborah (7/5): Great location! - Location was ideal. Close to the shops, restaurants, beach, etc. Brilliant! The crockery was not clean and more than one hand towel would have been useful. Our washing was done but all mixed into one wash so the whites were not white anymore. Other than that it was a good day stay.
• Monaei (1/5): Most rubbish place I ever been in my life - I absolutely hate this hotel, there are so many steps to get to the room that was not mentioned in the description, it was saying beachfront in the description but that is not really beachfront place, there is a public beach nearby that everyone can use, the rooms are really outdated and old they charge me 65 Aud because there was a blue shampoo on the baths floor and they were thinking it’s a hair dye even they asked me and I said it’s a Shampoo but they still were saying it was a hair dye and because there was a tissue on the floor lol what a joke, I was in the best 5 start hotels in the world and I never get charged because of their reasons and they are just 2 starts place, the lady at the reception called Sam blocked my number because she does not want to deal with my complain, of course I take it further and complain about them for now just let everyone know that how rubbish this place is!
• Sherree (8/5): Very good - Excellent location
• Waldemar (8/5): Very good - Nice views of Airlie Beach and the water. Quick walk to town. Comfortable 1 bedroom unit. Easy check in instructions.
