Crystal Brook Holidays from NZ$1,750

Wow. What a stunning place. Rooms were clean and the views just breathtaking. every meal we had was amazing and well priced as were drinks. Cant wait to come back.

Lovely staff, delicious food, gorgeous pool, wonderful yoga and massages! A special place far from the madding crowd. If it’s relaxation you’re after this is the place to go. Just be aware, before you book, the transfers (via boat or helicopter) are extremely expensive! The only other negative is the communal areas could do with an update & soft furnishings (chair pads/cushions etc) need a clean.

The Pinnacles is well located to shops, restaurants etc, with an amazing view. However it is set on a steep hill. So be prepared for a steep walk up or a taxi which is approx $10 per trip.

My husband and I recently visited Airlie Beach for my 40th birthday, and chose to stay at The Boathouse Apartments as a treat. I am so glad we did, it was amazing! We had come across from Daydream Island around 10am and asked to leave our bags at reception until we could check in. The staff member offered to check if our room was ready, which it was, so we were given early access. Our room was clean, spacious and well appointed, with very comfortable furniture. The room was kept at the perfect temperature to beat the humid February weather. The balconies off the room were great. We spent a fair bit of time out on the larger one after our swims. The sun sparkling on the water of the marina was so peaceful. The location of the hotel is great. Walking distance to the main street, but far enough away that it's lovely and quiet in the evenings. There are shops and cafes below the hotel, we enjoyed a meal at both cafes over our stay. The pool was lovely. The space it's in, is really nice, with loungers, tables, chairs and BBQ facilities. We spent time there every day of our stay. The staff we came across were all so wonderful and accommodating, not only letting us into our room early, but Mason, who was on call Saturday evening, was understanding and came out as soon as he could to let us back in after we'd left our key in the room.

Great stay with the family. Comfortable room with all the necessities. Staff and customer service are fantastic
