It’s a short walk to the main part if Airlie. Swim towels in the room would be good, to save the hassle of going to reception to collect them.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Inn is of an older style, open, airy and designed well to take advantage of the tropical sun and cool sea breeze. It is situated an easy walking distance from the busy area of town so a nice quiet place to retreat. Right on the public transport bus route from Shute Harbour to Proserpine, well priced rooms with views and friendly relaxed staff, I would recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Airlie Beach.

It is a good location. Shutters only on sliding doors so very bright. Spa was cold. No real coffee at breakfast, just awful nescafe sachets. No channel 7 on our tv. Was told well everyone else seems to have it so can't help. No offer to check it out. Sliding door sticks and noisy. Grounds and pool were nice. Has potential

I ordered in room dining and the lamb shank and the wings I ordered was just trash Braised lamb tasted like steamed lamb with the fresh meat smell to it and the none of the food was seasoned properly. I paid for it but I just didn’t eat them and left it in the fridge
