Fantastic room! Spacious & gorgeous NEW amenities; great view from room/porch; incredible SPACE! Kitchen was large & had everything! Highly recommend; Michelle at front desk was very helpful & friendly.
Place was nice and a good location! Women at the front desk were lovely and very helpful! The apartment beds were a little too firm, our laundry machine was broken throughout our stay (we were counting on using it), and our shower toiletries were empty on the first day until we asked for more. Would recommend for a good place with a good location, but certainly not luxurious!
We had an amazing stay at Waters Edge! The location was perfect, an easy 4 min walk (walking with young children) to the shops, grocery store and about 8 minutes to the lagoon. The resort is at the bottom of a steep hill and we were thankful we didn’t have to walk up it! The folks at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The pools were beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed!
Our apartment was recently updated & had reviewed needed. The 3 different pools were amazing. Ideal location, could walk everywhere. Really great for families.
Waters Edge is NOT on the water .... it is better.
A short walk up hill just behind Main Street gives you amazing views out over main beach and harbour.
Three ppols to choose from ...
And note ... Woolworth just across road with Grog shop ... just so convenient !!
First, the good. The receptionist with the blond curly hair was really friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The bad….the room was really dated. Separate of the the couch smelled really bad and the seat sank like there was no support. The pool area was really bug friendly. Maybe thats not their fault. Unfortunately the elevator didn’t work when i was there and I had a hard time getting to my floor as the emergency stairwell had floor 2 locked from the inside.
We had booked for 2 nights and ended up booking an extra night
Beautiful big units
Comfy beds and pillows
Nicest big bath
Would definitely stay there again
Michelle at the front desk was awesome with her information and advice. Property was in good repair. Room was spectacular. Highly recommend this property .
A great location, spacious and clean rooms with fabulous views. Conveniently close to shops and restaurants, easy walk to all things Airlie Beach can offer.

Beautiful spot. Rooms a little outdated and cleanliness could use some work but apartment was a good size and very comfortable bed. The pools were a highlight.
Very clean and convenient property located close to main street of Airlie beach. Walkable from port of Airlie and a very short walk to the beach area. Appt had laundry and dishwasher. clean and tidy with great views. We would go back.
