It pains me a little to write this review because our apartment was lovely and well appointed and the location is fantastic, on the flat part of Airlie and close to shops and restaurants. Our private roof top terrace was ideal for relaxing and the pool was enjoyable with a nice temperature. The big problem was the relentless traffic noise virtually all day, and this is the only reason we would not return.
Great apartment ; clean and spacious with a lovely view and rooftop spa. I was unwell when we arrived and Colleen looked after me so kindly! The location is perfect! So happy to be so close to everything in Airlie. The pool area is super, lovely warm pool ; again so clean and well kept. Would highly recommend.
Such a wonderful place. Position is perfect, so close to everything. Colleen and John were wonderful hosts. Quick to help us with extra accommodation.
Large and fully self contained units with a perfect view of the ocean and marina. And a hot tub with a view was excellent. To top it off and amazing pool to cool off and relax at. Thanks for making our anniversary stay special.
Look no further for the perfect place to stay when visiting Airlie/Whitsundays. Perfect for couples, and perfect for families. We stayed with 4 adults and a 3 year old. My 3 year old keeps telling us how beautiful our holiday house is 😂 and he is right! The views are immaculate, it’s a 1-2 minute walk into town, a 5 minute walk to Port of Airlie for tours to Hamilton Island, Daydream Island etc. We stayed in a 2 bedroom with private rooftop with jacuzzi and BBQ, which is incredible, but if you didnt want to go for the private rooftop, the shared pool is beautiful with stunning views and from our experience is rarely full unlike some other places I have visited where the pool is full of people. The apartments are so clean and spacious, I could live in them full time.
John and Colleen are the best hosts you will find, so kind and accommodating and up for a yarn. Will stay here every time I visit the Whitsundays without question.
After weeks of travelling on a cruise ship and staying in hotels, motels and cabins, it was a pleasure to spend three nights in a spacious Portside Whitsunday apartment with distinct living, eating and sleeping areas. Our unit was nicely furnished and very much like the many comfortable time-share properties we have stayed in over the years. It was good to have our own private terrace and to be only a few steps away from the pool.
The owners, Colleen and John, were friendly and helpful with excellent guidance on local tour companies, shuttle buses, etc.
At first sight, the location of Portside Whitsunday Apartments seems just OK. However, it didn’t take long for us to realize that it was actually an excellent spot, with the local shuttle buses stopping right outside the door and the main shopping/restaurant area starting just 100 yards away. Being at one end of the town, the apartments were also close to the start of the 3.5km coastal walk to Cannonvale Bay that took us past marinas, swimming lagoons, secluded coves and some attractive properties. Another bonus of the location was that it did not require a hill climb to reach, unlike much of Airlie Beach accommodation on the steep slopes above the town.
We would happily return to the very pleasant little town of Airlie Beach and to the Portside Whitsunday Apartments.
