Woodwark3 nights4.0 star property9.8/10 - Exceptional (264 reviews)"Not our first visit and won’t be our last. Lovely rooms and really great restaurant at northerlies. 10 mins to Airlie, even less to all the conveniences you could need, supermarkets, chemists, pubs, etc. Staff we kind and extremely helpful. Continental breakfast is good for those that like or need to eat earlier and a bonus. Fabulous views over Airlie."Reviewed July 2, 2026Return • Auckland (AKL) - Hamilton Island (HTI)AKL - PPP • 1 stop PPP - AKL • 1 stopNZ$1,768NZ$1,488found 14 hours agoper traveller - Yangaro

None of these issues are big, but..."Reviewed November 30, 2025Return • Auckland (AKL) - Hamilton Island (HTI)AKL - HTI • 1 stop HTI - AKL • 1 stopNZ$5,091NZ$4,183found 1 day agoper traveller - Palm Bay Resort
