This place is miles ahead of the other nearby hostels in terms of facilities, cleanliness and customer service. It's just a 5min walk from the main street, secluded enough to get some peace and hear the nature, surrounded by picturesque hills 🌲 Stayed for 2 weeks and always had great quality sleep in the rooms. Firm mattresses and thick pillows, which is a rare find in a hostel! Rooms, bathrooms and common areas are always spotless, with staff working round the clock to ensure this. The fully air-conditioned lobby has a huge social space with a bar, TV, beanbags, ping pong. Perfect place to chill out and meet people. Love the nightly events held by the hostel (beer pong, trivia, movie nights, pizza, cheese and wine) its really a great way to meet like minded travellers. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here, they're all extremely hospitable and make the vibe here what it is. :) For only being open for 3 months, this hostel is doing everything right. Can't wait to return as they plan to open a swimming pool!

My family and I had the best experience staying in the Boathouse Apartments. The location is absolutely amazing with harbour view from the balcony and central to the town centre. The apartment is clean and modern, the beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need. We also loved the pool area, and the staff was super friendly. I will definitely stay again.

Room was large with basic kitchen facilities and private bathroom. Right on the beach with balcony and nice view of the park. Good value for money compared to other properties in this area. Wifi and air conditioning was good. Good curtains that keep out the light. I arrived after hours and received code to collect keys from lockbox, which was very easy. Keep in mind there is a lot of noise from Magnums in the main street but once the windows were closed the room was quiet which was good.

I think we had the room with the best view! Our balcony overlooked the beautiful gardens and the sea/beach. It was incredible as we arrived just before sunset. Enjoyed our morning cuppa on the balcony watching all the beautiful birds including a peacock! The room was spacious and clean as was the bathroom. Great location for us travelling back to Cairns. Bowen looked like a lovely beach resort town and we would have liked to have had more time there to explore. would highly recommend this hotel.

The hammock on the verandah - it was hard to leave. Looking up at the palm trees in the day and then the moon and stars at night - so relaxing. Being on the beachfront was perfect and listening to the soothing ocean sounds.

This is the perfect little hideaway from the hustle and bustle of Airlie Beach. It offers great accommodation with stunning views, continental breakfast and a courtesy bus into Airlie. Just a short stroll from your room you will find Northerlies, a great restaurant right on the beach.

We loved the location of the studio which was right on the beach. The studio was quite roomy and clean. The bed was comfortable and plenty of room in the kitchenette. The staff were very friendly too. Loved having undercover parking.

The location right on the beach front was just beautiful. Rooms overlooking the pool & ocean were amazing. The service was great with all our requests catered to. Our stay was relaxing and made us feel welcomed. A perfect adults only resort to stay at without the kids.
