Pinnacles

Pinnacles

10/10 Excellent
"The Pinnacles has the most amazing view over Airlie Brach as it is located on top of a small hill. It’s a 10 minutes walk into town but the walk back up the hill is not for the unfit. The infinity pool was stunning. Our apartment had a jacuzzi on the large balcony and a fully equipped kitchen. Management were really helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again."

"We loved Coral Sea Resort! The bar menu by the pool was really great and the hotel is very easy walking distance from the main town. The pool area can get quite busy because day pass guests can arrive from 10:30am so get your sun bed early."

Magnums Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay in the queen cabin – it was nice and spacious! Being right next to the Wi-Fi area meant we could get online easily (though not all rooms have in-room access). The mattress wasn’t the best, but otherwise the room was comfortable. It was also generally quiet (although we stayed mid-week so it wasn’t very busy). The staff were lovely and friendly, and the kitchen had everything you need to make a quick lunch or dinner. There’s a Woolworths supermarket about 30 seconds walk from the kitchen too."

"Palm Bay was a beautiful location to spend our honeymoon. Staff were very friendly, so many national park trails to walk, plenty of places to snorkel and high quality food from the restaurant. We loved going out on the supplied paddle boards to check out coral or watch the sunset. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice place to relax and be in nature!"

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

8/10 Good
"We had an enjoyable stay at CPMI. Highlights would be the helpful and welcoming staff, access to the two (small-ish) lagoon pools and a great breakfast. The room was quite basic, had some marks on the walls and only one easily accessible plug socket. However it was very clean on arrival and it was great to have the facilities to make tea and coffee, and access to a fridge and microwave. It is at least a 10 min walk into town, but this meant that it wasn’t too loud, which was nice. Many your experiences offer a free pick up from the hotel too, which is handy"

"The property was above our expectations. Our penthouse apartment was amazing, spacious, clean, beautiful bathroom products, excellent kitchen supplies with a handy lap pool as well as other great pools.
