Lovely studio. Fabulous views. Jennifer is a great host, she let us leave our cases in the apartment after check out time. Thank you Jennifer. Would definitely recommend.

208 The Palms Boathouse Apartments
Such a great location! Short walk into Airlie and the marina. Extremely comfortable apartment with everything you’ll need. We felt right at home for our week long stay and have already recommended to friends and will be staying here again next time we visit! Thanks!

Lousha Bach Dolphin Heads Resort
Clean and tidy. Beautiful room and scenery. Perfect overall

Breathtaking Island Views
Well designed studio with spaces for sleep, dining and lounging/watching TV. Fully stocked kitchen with all you need to prepare food. The host even left coffee, tea, milk, bottled water and treats! Such a lovely added touch. As well, there was everything you need for a day at the beach or lagoon including beach towels, picnic blanket and an insulated picnic bag. Close to the grocery store, pharmacy and the main street where the majority of shops and restaurants are. The view is even better than shown in the pictures. It was spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed looking out at the water and watching the boats come and go. We would definitely stay again!

Turtle Beach; Ocean front + resort pool
Great studio apartment on the beach at Dolphin Head Beautiful view over the Coral Sea through the coconut palms

The Escape. Beach unit. Free Internet
Ellen was an outstanding host. She provided very clear instructions for check in. The unit was as described and suited our needs perfectly. The unit was clean and welcoming. Ellen thoughtfully left basic supplies for us which was very much appreciated. Ellen was responsive to any questions and was quick to resolve a minor issue we had during our stay. The resort itself was well located and an easy drive to shops, restaurants and beaches. I would definitely recommend the unit and Ellen as a host to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay in Mackay. My wife and I enjoyed a hassle free 2 weeks over Christmas with family. Thanks Ellen for being an excellent host.

seven seas
We had an absolutely amazing time at Seven Seas and would definitely stay there again as well as recommend to other people. It was a great central location and the house had everything we needed. Beautiful decorations and excellent layout of the property. The attention to detail was fantastic. Kylie was so incredible to communicate with and very responsive when we asked for a late check out on the day of us leaving. Honestly couldn't fault a thing. Amazing host and amazing house. Thanks for hosting our little family. ☺️

One Airlie Beach... Beyond comparison
Beautiful home and location for a family weelend aeay celebrating my 40th. The house was amazing and the veiw was something else.

Paradise Palms Hamilton Island - Panorama 1
Thank you Steve for such an outstanding holiday we’ve had on Hammo. First class host and first class apartment. Just incredible. Big thanks also to Anne-Marie for all your care, help and looking after us once we were on the island. You made our trip such a memorable one.

Yacht Club Villa 6 Ocean Front
We had an amazing stay at the Hamilton Island Yacht Club. The location is absolutely perfect and the property was immaculate, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a luxurious getaway. The proximity to restaurants, the IGA and activities was great. We particularly loved having an early morning coffee on the balcony. The pool is amazing and we loved having two golf buggies included. Having a laundry is also super helpful. If you have little kids, the stairs are a bit of a challenge. The host was extremely helpful, providing clear communication. However, I would have liked to be notified that cot sheets are not included when hiring a cot. Also, being charged for an extra cot was frustrating considering the price of the accommodation. Overall, it was an excellent stay!

Nautilus @Hydeaway Bay/ Hideaway Bay
My family and I enjoyed 4 nights at this beautiful property with picture perfect views from the deck where we enjoyed a few quiet drinks in the afternoon breeze in nice quiet surrounds. Very close to Cape Gloucester where we attended a wedding and also close to Dingo Beach & about a 45 minute drive to Airlie Beach. Would definitely recommend this property and be happy to stay there again 😊

Tropical Beachside Paradise
Barry's home was just beautiful. Absolutely everything you could possibly think you would want was available. The views from the kitchen and dining areas were nothing short of spectacular. And the views from the master bed? You just don't want to get out of bed in the morning. Debbie's (within walking distance) had beautifully fresh seafood and the pub meal we had on the first night was very good. Will definitely make this a regular stopover for our road trips in future. Loved everything about it! Thank you Barry!!

Flame Trees - Beachfront in Hydeaway/Hideaway Bay
Perfect house for a relaxing get away with family. We loved the beach access from the backyard and the pool on the deck. The house is clean and well looked after.

Bowen Beach House on the beach Absolute Beachfront
This home is in a stunning location and is within walking distance of town and the beautiful waterfront. This spacious home is renovated to a high standard with an amazing kitchen and 2 big bathrooms. There are so many thoughtful touches in this home that made our stay comfortable and memorable. I have to say the host Melanie is the most kind and wonderful person and her communication and helpfulness was the absolute icing on the cake. I will definitely stay again when next visiting Bowen.
