The apartment was great value. Could not believe it had only 3 stars as it suited us wonderfully. Room was marginally small but it had all the facilities. The place had a good barbecue and a lovely pool. Beautiful location on top of the hill overlooking the marina and Ocean. Would happily choose it again.

I love this place!

Cozy, chill spot to watch spectacular sunsets in the pool. To get that view you’ve got to get up a very steep, short hill so plan accordingly. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Owner is great and happy to book local activities. Good value for the area.

Perfect place of paradise!

I loved my stay in the apartment and wish I could have stayed longer. There’s quite a steep hill to get to it but the west-facing view is great for sunset and the pool right outside the room is wonderful. Peter is a very gracious host and ensured everything was comfortable for my stay.

Although the studio was small, the view was incredible as was the owner Peter who was very kind and helped us arrange 2 trips. The location was great, with good walkability to all local amenities. Most of the time the neighbouring rooms were quiet and considerate. Would highly recommend for a few days in Airlie Beach.

We arrived early after a week long boating trip expecting to leave our bags. We were shown straight to our room which was great. The pool was inviting the bed very comfortable and the room was fresh with a beach feel. The hotel is only a short walk to town centre. We will be back

Sunlit Waters is extremely clean and well maintained. Management staff are very friendly and communicative. We were very happy with our stay. Like many apartments in Airlie the apartments are up a steep hill but only a $5-6 cab ride from the main shopping area. I would recommend them.

If you are after clean, quiet and affordable accommodation then this is ideal. It is walking distance to the town (steep hill), but far enough away to remain quiet. It has nice views out to the harbour and a pool to cool off in. Check in/out was simple, communication was good. It may not have the glitz and glamour of the big chins, but it doesn't have the price tag of one either.

The check in was super easy, host was very friendly. The room was so clean, which is super important. The view is spectacular, which I could see from my bed, and the pool. A short walk to the town centre, with lots of restaurants, shops, the lagoon and a Woolies and close to the marina to catch the boat to the Great Barrier Reef tour. Check out was also super relaxed and easy.
