“Set 15 minutes from Airlie Beach, this collection of sea-facing suites & quirky boat-shaped bungalows is bedecked in white & blue. Think modern bathrooms, high ceilings & polished wood. Lush gardens lead to the beach, plus there's a refreshing pool & restaurant. Fun, fresh & easygoing.”

Freedom Shores - Hotel Review

"A row of 10 replica fishing boats, sitting high on a hill outside Airlie Beach, with sweeping views of the Coral Sea, provide some of the most unusual accommodation in the Whitsunday region. These boat “cabins” are complemented by three luxury suites – also with a nautical theme - in the main lodge building."
