This is in such a great location, you can easily walk into town without all the hills but far enough away that it’s nice and quiet! Clean, comfortable and friendly staff. Pool is great and some cafes/restaurants downstairs too. Highly recommend.

Lovely accommodation in an excellent location. Would definitely return. If I were to be picky , I would suggest a mirror being added to each bedroom as currently only in bathrooms and awkward when a bathroom is being shared. However we had a fabulous stay.

The reception staff were beyond kind, which was an extremely refreshing greeting upon arrival, after having to leave our previous accommodation due to negligence.
We booked The Boathouse Apartments, and arrived within the hour - and the staff had already ensured that all nuts, and nut products had been removed from the room (anaphylaxis) They were always friendly, the apartment was immaculate, as well as the spa, pool, and general public areas/walkways were spotless. I definitely could not rate The Boathouse highly enough!

From the moment you step into the apartment, you realise youve made the right choice. The smell of the apartment hits you first, they've chosen a perfect diffuser scent that is not overbearing but makes itself known - and instantly gives a positive impact.
Then your eyes are locked straight ahead, through the apartment, to the glass balcony doors, where the marina , the ocean and the sky take your breath away.
The views and location set Boathouse ahead of all the other hotels I've stayed in at Airlie. There are 2 restaurants and a coffee place onsite. It is a few brief minutes walk across the road to the main street of Airlie.
The apartment (2 bedroom) is spacious, luxurious and modern. Fully equipped kitchen (all utensils, cutlery, crockery and homewares) , balcony off bedroom as well as off lounge area, overlook the marina and provide a perfect outdoor setting to relax and watch the sunsets.
Will definitely be back (am a local, Proserpine, who stays in town when socialising or events) - this is my new favourite accommodation!

My husband and I recently visited Airlie Beach for my 40th birthday, and chose to stay at The Boathouse Apartments as a treat. I am so glad we did, it was amazing! We had come across from Daydream Island around 10am and asked to leave our bags at reception until we could check in. The staff member offered to check if our room was ready, which it was, so we were given early access. Our room was clean, spacious and well appointed, with very comfortable furniture. The room was kept at the perfect temperature to beat the humid February weather. The balconies off the room were great. We spent a fair bit of time out on the larger one after our swims. The sun sparkling on the water of the marina was so peaceful.
The location of the hotel is great. Walking distance to the main street, but far enough away that it's lovely and quiet in the evenings. There are shops and cafes below the hotel, we enjoyed a meal at both cafes over our stay.
The pool was lovely. The space it's in, is really nice, with loungers, tables, chairs and BBQ facilities. We spent time there every day of our stay.
The staff we came across were all so wonderful and accommodating, not only letting us into our room early, but Mason, who was on call Saturday evening, was understanding and came out as soon as he could to let us back in after we'd left our key in the room.
