The place to stay

This place is nothing short of amazing - from the service that all staff give and the absolute surroundings of the accommodation. This is always my go to when I head down to Airlie and I have passed onto my friends how great this place is.

You cant get a better slice of paradise than Freedom Shores. We love this place for its tranquil surroundings yet so close to Northerlies for a relaxing drink, eat and vibe. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and they make you feel comfortable with children as part of the booking. We love this place, nothing to improve.

Beautiful property with great service. The boat cabins are clean and fairly new. The hotel is further away from Airlie Beach so you’re a little bit isolated and will need the shuttle service or bus to head into town. The hotel is great if you want a place to unwind and relax.

A real treat you deserve

We stayed in the Beach Shack for a few nights. We were welcomed by management and made to feel comfortable. The staff were respectful and very friendly. The Northerlies hotel is close by and has great meals. Freedom Shores accom includes a continental breakfast. It is served in the main area where you can plate your food, put on a tray and either eat back in your room or out on the deck with great views. The beach shack has it’s own grassed area, sun lounges, cabana, loads of quiet spots to sit, wander onto the rocks at low tide. There are several curlews and turkeys that frequent the area as well. The beach shack is beautifully and comfortably furnished, the bed is comfortable.

I loved everything, especially the amazing view. The only thing I could fault was the bed we slept on. It was so uncomfortable and both my partner and I woke up with stiff backs. It wasn’t enough to ruin the experience but would definitely make the experience better.

Disliked: Staff & service

Tour stay at Freedom Shores was spectacular. We loved the resort and the story behind the landscape. They had a pool available 24/7 fenced off (which is kids friendly). However, unfortunately there were some down sides to it, for example; a few of the staff at the reception was not quite friendly and had unpleasant non approachable expression, also the breakfast that was included wasn’t what we expected (not even eggs to be served also what was more disappointing there was bread served the next day from the day before which didn’t feel fresh). Also, to keep in mind that on the net it says (Freedom shores Hamilton island) but it isn’t located in Hamilton island it is located in Airlie Beach which mean you will need to fly to Hamilton island and take a ferry which cost for 2 people $120 for only ONE WAY (which we paid overall $240 for ferry). Though, another alternative is that you can fly to Airlie beach directly to stay at freedom shores. Overall, our stay at freedom shores was very different as we had the opportunity to attend “ocean rafting” to see the Great Barrier Reef.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

This was the worst property and I didn’t even stay there. It’s very far from anything so we had dinner and what was supposed to be complimentary drinks (I’m ann Expedia gold member) and then we left to a place more central. I was shocked that I was charged for the drinks! After several rude messages from the hotel I’ll have to pursue the reimbursement from my credit card. I didn’t sign for the drinks so I’m pretty sure they can’t do that. Also there’s a pond that you have to pass to check in and there was a snake inside. No thanks! I am happy with my decision to not stay there but very disappointed in the rudeness. I wasn’t expecting that.
