The Boathouse Apartments in Airlie Beach

🌍
Australia, Airlie Beach, 33 Port Dr
● Center: 800 m
🌞 Beach - 5 min

Rooms are very clean, spacious, and many offer beautiful marina or harbour views from balconies. The swimming pool is large and well maintained, with plenty of space for guests. Staff at reception are generally friendly and helpful, with special mentions for assisting guests with issues such as lost passports. The location is excellent, within minutes’ walk to the port and close to shops, restaurants, and beaches. Fully equipped kitchens and laundry facilities in apartments add convenience for families and longer stays. The pool area lacks shade, which can cause discomfort during high UV days, especially for children. Some guests reported older kitchen appliances with minor cleanliness issues like mold on washing machine rubber seals. Service quality varies; a few guests experienced rude or unhelpful staff members at reception. Beds are reported by some to be firmer than expected for a 4-star property. Housekeeping service may be inconsistent, with at least one report of no room cleaning during a multi-day stay.

Great rooms, very clean, great view from the rooms, pool is very clean and gardens exceptionally manicured. Great reception and very friendly. Very close (2 min walk) to the port of Airlie (where the boat transfers to Hamilton and Daydream depart). 10% discount if you say you’re returning guest. Rooms are all very similar with similar views of the harbour - beautiful. There’s a washing machine and drier. No microwave. Now the areas for improvement - the pool NEEDS shade. The UV was 13 and there’s no shade anywhere around the pool. Kids get burnt, just a shade sail over a section is all that’s needed. The location - it’s a decent walk through a large park to get to the lagoon and restaurants (there’s 2 downstairs - limited and pricey but the Italian on the corner has amazing food). There’s a small coffee shop downstairs at the harbour side which is great and busy. Overall a great stay and I’d recommended but the shade needs improvement.

The room was fantastic! The view of the marina and yachts from the balcony was beautiful, and it was convenient to get around. It was quiet and comfortable, and we could cook in the spacious living room and kitchen. Special thanks to the hotel staff for solving our biggest problem: our companion lost their passport, and they helped contact the airport and bus company to find it and deliver it to our room. We are so grateful! 🙏 Thank you so much!

Wonderful service and good view from the room and good location as well

We loved our stay last week. The location is fabulous - just out of the main area and very peaceful. The pool is large and plenty of space for everyone. Michelle and Heather were very helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Because it was a family trip, I was a little worried after reading some reviews, but it was absolutely fantastic after checking in! The apartment not only has a swimming pool, but the balcony also has a sea view. I assure you, it's a very clean and beautiful apartment, perfect for families and friends to relax and vacation. The landlady was also incredibly friendly. Because we arrived early, before check-in time, she arranged for us to change clothes and store our luggage, and informed me immediately when rooms became available so my family could get some rest. My family and I felt our stay was too short, and I sincerely recommend this apartment to everyone. (I already miss the warm and welcoming landlady and hope to see her again!)

Really enjoyed our stay. Started with a message from Lee regarding check in and a friendly welcome when I met her at reception, other staff we came across were all helpful and obliging. We stayed in a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom 1st floor apartment. Everything was well presented. Brilliant location, short walk to and from Port of Airlie terminal and our boat trips and a slightly longer walk to Airlie main street. Great views.
27.10.2025 Michele
Beautiful apartments, we had a 3 bed apartment for 6 adults and there was a lot of room & very spacious. Kitchen facility was great, bathrooms nice and beds very comfy. A beautiful view over the marina. Very close walk to shops, bars & restaurants. Perfect location. We loved our stay here.
07.07.2025 Guest
Excellent location, visible right after getting off the ferry, and only a few minutes' walk to the town center.
06.07.2025 Xueyingjing
The location is fantastic! It's only a 3-minute walk to Port of Airlie (where the ferries from Hamilton Island dock), and less than a 10-minute walk to Woolworths (navigation might take you the long way, but you can cut across the lawn). The three-bedroom unit we booked with our friends was very comfortable, clean, and tidy. The kitchen was fully equipped, and having a washer and dryer was a huge plus, especially for families traveling together.

Would not eat here again. Food was awful. Fritters were just bread with sweetcorn mixed in. Waited over 30 mins for food. Coffee was like warm milk
04.10.2017 Sally
A delicious spot for breakfast at Airlie Beach. The food was delicious and so was the coffee. The staff provided excellent customer service advising us that there was a delay and provided coffees whilst we were waiting. The view of marina are lovely so we weren't bothered by the 30 minute delay. A great experience.

Raven B our CSR for tonight delivered amazingly within 20 minutes following our instructions to our hotel apartment. What a champion!!
Deserves a good bonus - good pizza and garlic bread thanks Dominos!
01.10.2017 Nathan
There is a reason this store has a rating of 3 . We thought a 6 month break might of made a difference and they may have picked up their act .... I was wrong! Our order was delivered with a refund for the prawns as they did not have any , the lemonade we ordered also did not exist in their store and they forgot the other drinks and had to go back to get them . The pizzas where below average and greasy . Avoid disappointment and think of something else for dinner
30.08.2017 Marly
TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! Its the 2ND time this store has stuffed up my orders! First I placed my order online which is a chef's special with double extra anchovies paid 45$ in total, got it 30minutes late than expected! With a cold pizza WITHOUT any anchovies in it, the second one I ordered only chicken wings that took them an hour to deliver!!!!,WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!,

Good tasting vegan pizza (the mangrove vegetarian without pesto and mozzarella), but the staff was grumpy and did not smile once. I also had to repeat my order twice as they forgot it.

Barramundi was ok but the Bolognaise was not good at all, they would have done better with a bottle of spagetti sauce from the super market.

Great wood fired pizzas. Book early so that you don't have to queue
