Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Airlie Beach, Coral Sea Marina and Port of Airlie Marina. Hamilton Island Airport is 31 km from the property. Had an awesome stay at Bounce! 🙌 The place is super clean, well-kept, and the facilities are spot on, definitely some of the best standards I’ve seen in a hostel. There’s a really friendly vibe here, everyone gets along and it just makes it so easy to meet people and feel at home. The staff are next-level, not just friendly but genuinely helpful and accommodating. Big shoutout to Nail and Sharlene, after chatting with them I actually decided to switch over to the long-term options, and I’m so glad I did. Honestly, if you’re looking for a place that’s clean, social, and run by a great team, Bounce is the way to go! 🎉

Situated within 100 metres of Airlie Beach and 1.4 km of Coral Sea Marina, Pavilions Collection features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Airlie Beach. Featuring sea and inner courtyard views, this apartment also includes free WiFi. Outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the fresh air. Excellent apartment, very well decorated and very well equipped. The location is as central as possible within the city. Every need we had was within walking distance. Restaurants, supermarket, bar and tourist attractions. It was the first time we were in a property without employees, where the entire check-in/out process was done by us via smartphone. Despite our fear, everything went very well. This apartment made us want to stay longer, but our travel plans didn't allow us to. It's a place we want to return to one day.

Featuring private check-in and check-out, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, luggage storage space and organising tours for guests. Our stay at Airlie guesthouse was nothing less than AMAZING! From the moment we booked our stay, all the rest of our trip was figured out as well. Mick organised our airport transfer and advised us on the activities we should do, booked them for us and everything went super smooth. 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!
