Boathaven Beach is 500 metres from Absolute Luxury Marina Lifestyle at The Port of Airlie Beach, while Coral Sea Marina is 3.5 km from the property. Hamilton Island Airport is 30 km away. The apartment was beautiful clean cool and bright. Everything you could need for your stay was there. We ate out on the balcony a few nights which was lovely. Bed super comfy, couch was great. Just the whole experience was lovely. Close enough to town but quiet which was really nice and like 2 minutes from the ferries to Hamilton island. One thing I'd say is just be careful on the surface in the pool if you have snaggy kind of swimwear material. Not a bad thing but I just got a couple of catches on my swimwear. But lovely pool! Lovely host, couldn't have been nicer I'm sure would have been there if we needed her but we didn't as it was perfect. The only disappointment....I wish we had stayed longer.

Everyone one of Simon's recommendations was fantastic! The apartment itself is stunning. So clean and modern, it felt like a real treat to stay there! It's fully equipped with everything you need, including pool towels. We enjoyed it so much we got takeout some nights for dinner instead of going out! The pool is great too!

The guesthouse is a very nice and calm stay, with a beautiful view from the terrace. When you are enjoying the breakfast, you can even have the chance to have an interaction with the local cockatoos. Mick, you are an amazing host and a very pleasant person to have around. Cheers!
