I needed time away from work and although I only stayed only 1 night, it was amazing and well worth it. I stayed in a Spa Suite and you truely have everything you need. Comfortable modern furnishings & a stunning private balcony with spa. The apartments are located just a short 5 minute walk from town. Nestled away from the... More

This was the perfect place for my week of relaxation and battery recharge and only a short walk from the Main Street and restaurants etc. I had a lovely view of Muddy Bay and the surrounding hills from my private balcony. The rooms are sound proof even though they face Shute Harbour road and both Scott and the new manager... More

We stayed here for 10 nights and were greeted in a friendly manner and shown to our room, which was presented in a very immaculate fashion. This standard was maintained throughout the whole stay, with great daily service. Best part...definitely the jacuzzi on the balcony!!! Location was also a plus, as it was only a very short walk into town... More

Recently we spent 6 nights here. The accomodation was well set out and very comfortable and private. There are only 6 units and with only adults allowed to stay in was peaceful. The manager was a delight, very friendly and helpful. He kept the place clean and tidy inside and out. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

Myself and 3 close girlfriends (all Mums) had a wonderful stay at Waterfront Whitsunday Retreat. 3 days 2 nights, away from our hubby's and children, absolute bliss. We stayed in the 3 bedroom Penthouse with Jacuzzi on the balcony. It's clean, modern, spacious, equipped with everything you could want/need during your stay. Short walk to the main drag. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for a couple of nights this week. It's a perfect base for a short trip being close to Airlie Beach and easy buses or taxis to get to the harbour for trips to other islands. The room was really quiet (despite schoolies staying in all close-by accomodation!!) and lovely and clean, bed was really comfy and the... More

We stayed here whilst travelling up the east coast of Australia on honeymoon. We had a ground floor apartment with excellent faciliites (including ipod speakers, Wii etc) and our own hot tub. Great views, friendly and efficient service and close to town, but far enough away.

My husband and I spent 2 nights in a spa suite. The place was big, bright, and spotless. The view was... loud... lots of buildings work going on... The bis disappointment was the service and breakfast. Breakfast was an already prepacked pack of cereal, milk, juice and cookies. Good enough for me but not worthy of a so called luxury... More
