Seclude Rainforest Retreat

Address: 637 Saltwater Creek Road, Palm Grove, QLD, 4800, AU
Location: Palm Grove
Star rating: 4.5/5
Guest rating: 10/10 (79 reviews)
Review: My husband and I absolutely loved this place. In the middle of a long trip around Australia to meet all his friends and family (I’m American) we stayed here as a break and chance to rejuvenate. The Acacia Villa is gorgeous, feels brand new, and has everything you’d need for a long weekend trip. We loved the gorgeous view, watching the birds, and relaxing in the outdoor bath. We brought most of our own food to cook, but did get one of the baskets delivered to us, which was fun and yummy. I only..., by Anonymous traveler, January 12, 2020, rated 10/10 Excellent

Freedom Shores

A couple relaxing on a wicker lounge chair facing a beach with palm trees and clear blue water.

Location: Woodwark
Review: This was an amazing find on Expedia. Jodi, who manages the property, makes everyone feel like they’re the only guest. This is a true hidden gem, with a pub and top restaurant right down the path from the main hotel and the boat rooms. I highly recommend staying there!

Review: Beautiful views and spacious studio. We liked the one-bedroom, which was the corner unit, so no one was walking by our balcony space. It felt more private and offered great views. The kitchenette was well-equipped and had a full-size fridge. Clean and comfy with great AC. Note: this property is on a hill, so there were stairs to reach our unit and stairs within the unit to reach the bedroom and bathroom. Not a problem for us, but worth considering if you have mobility issues. The unit..., by Christina, November 10, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: This property very close to town center you have a massive hill to climb or you can uber up. The heart of reef shuttles are not good for endeavor location if you are over 50 as they don’t stop at your unit you have to bring your own bags up . I’m 72 and if it wasn’t for someone who watched me struggle I wouldn’t have made it up ., by Michael, November 28, 2024, rated 8/10 Good

Airlie Beach Hotel

A balcony with a view of a beach and ocean.

Location: Airlie Beach
Review: We had a wonderful time staying at Airlie Beach hotel. The staff was super friendly and booked the reef snorkeling tours for us and offered discounts as well. It's right in the middle of the most happening part of the town, with excellent dining options and across from the beach. I want to especially thank Ms.Sandy who accommodated our last min change in plans for an earlier checkout and she found a way to refund us the last day's charge even though it was very last minute.

Guest rating: 9/10 (2658 reviews)
Review: The moment we walked into our room at Whitsunday Apartments, the immediate focal point was the ocean view--and it was magnificent! Truly, the room and the view were even better than the advertised photos. The staff was always helpful, cheerful and gracious. It would have been the best vacation ever, except the weather wasn't cooperating and we didn't go snorkeling. This only means we will have to go back--poor us!

Palm Bungalows

A beach with palm trees and a view of the water.

Location: Whitsundays
Review: The palm bungalows were absolutely great. We had a 5 year old and a 1 year old with us. The hotel staff provided us with a complimentary stroller, high chair, baby bed and anything else we needed. When we put them to bed, we would just sit outside in our bungalow own hammock and watch the sun go down until the kids went to sleep. It was a fabulous vacation and I would recommend anyone to stay there, especially those with kids who need the “extras”., by Matt, April 26, 2018, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Great little hideaway. It's in a busy holiday park, but the Villa Bali where we stayed was great. Note, it's a spiral staircase to the upper floor. If you have mobility issues, this might not be the best fit. We didn't want to lug our suitcases up there, so they stayed on the ground floor. Not the best for manuvering, but it worked. The staff was great and the park was quiet after 10pm. Convient to the Marina 20 minute walk. You have to cross a busy road to get to the water, buts doable...., by patricia, October 18, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
