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.

Lovely infinity pool. Shame it’s not heated. This the jewel in the crown. Nice enough apartment. Could do with more glasses but actually the kitchen is quite decent. Bathroom needs a deep clean and the balcony door could be more secure. Would recommend and stay again though, although it’s quite pricey compared to some other nearby blocks.

Loved it here! So peaceful, beautiful and an amazing escape. Was a shame the jacuzzi section of the pool wasn’t heated as we were there in off season. Everything else was great! Well worth the price.
