Great views! A good short hike up and down a hill if you enjoy hikes.(?) Lots of space in units. AC worked well. Pool was wonderful. Take advantage of the property arranging transportation to and from airport!! Cheaper than taxi fare.

Has a fantastic view of the Coral Sea @ Airlie Beach. Unlucky can't enjoy it fully due to cyclone. Very big and spacious 3BHK apartment. Host was wonderful and gave us a late checkout considering flight delays. Gave a courtesy buggy drop to the shuttle bus. The pool with a overflowing ledge view to the sea was wonderful. enjoyed it in pouring cyclonic wind and rain still.

The room was nice, well furnished. The view was beautiful, and had a nice outdoor table to relax at. There was confusion upon booking, as I booked for 2 adults and a 12yo child, but the room came as one bedroom, so only 1 bed. Our 12yo daughter slept on the lounge, but I feel this is a booking agency trick, not the complex fault. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment and it was very spacious, with full kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Yes the driveway is steep - but that wasn't an issue for our group. Amazing views, we will definitely stay here again.

Amazing view!

Great location not far from the town centre although it's a steep uphill hike if you have physical challenges that prevent you from walking uphill/downhill. The view from Sea Star is amazing, especially from the penthouse which has sweeping views of the bay. Would highly recommend the penthouse and Sea Star apartments in general.
