Absolutely gorgeous rainforest retreat. Nice simple breakfast options. Bed was super comfy. It is quite a way from the town centre (not walkable or at least a LOOONG walk) but that added to the quietness.

Check-in was great because of the super friendly and hepful staff member. Sadly I do not know her name but whenever I talked to or ran into staff members they were always super friendly. Surrounded by tropical plants and animals, the grounds are beautiful. The rooms are functional but old. For example there was a part of of the vinyl floor was missing and the shower clearly has seen a lot of years go by. So even when clean it looks dirty because of those years. The bed in the single room is small but quite comfortable. The communal kitchen is functional and clean. The parking lot is small but sufficient. You have to drive out for a bit to get there but for the tours that make Airlie beach a destination worth going you can get picked up here. Value for money is great for Airlie Beach.
