"Beautiful! I highly recommend this resort and the area to stay in ...a 10 minute drive to the busy Airlie beach town cntre. So quiet and so private and the villa was simply luxurious!!! Our villa was virtually on the board walk so the vista to the water was amazing. We could have stayed on our deck enjoying the accommodation for our entire stay! The private pool on our deck was very secluded but very cold water( as all the pools on th complex were...)Probaby ok mid summer but being september not really able to enjoy! The restaurant on site was fabulous...especially the breakfast! We ordered a take way for room service and it was lovely. A big thankyou all around to all the staff at Mirage Whitsundays. The greeting and extra teats we received were very special for our 65th birthdays and 40th wedding anniversary. .Fabulous stay and woud love to come back."
