This property is quite run down and could use a real good cleaning of all the outside areas, walkways to the rooms and the pool area. We spent a week and there was bird poop, old bandaids, dead bugs, etc that were never washed down. The pools were nice but you had to wear your thongs all the time.

The location is FABULOUS so close to the shops, loved the pool areas, and didn't realise they had a spa and that was warm enough. Only a small hill to climb (and Airlie has many !!!), friendly staff and good clean apartments. I've stayed there twice and would book again based on location alone.
