Colonial Palms Motor Inn

Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

All stuff are very kind and friendly. The room was very clean with confortable beds and well cordinated with lovely tropical design. It was exactly the same look as we saw on the website. The hotel was very close to the port of Airly and about 800m away from the central part of the town where there are Woolworth and some other shops. The hotel was located at the bottom of the hill and so you can't expect a beautiful panorama view however, with a lot of pine trees planted and ocen water...

A couple in a hot tub with a pool and outdoor seating, surrounded by a white wall and palm trees.

Aaron Motel

West Gladstone

10/10 Excellent

This is a really great place to over-night in Gladstone if you are taking the ferry to Heron Island! The room was fine for this kind of stay, and there was a good breakfast on offer. But the real bonus is the really excellent pool and spa. My seven year old loved the pool on a hot summer's evening, and I really appreciated the spa after several hours driving! Would definitely stay here again in future!
