The staff member we were greeted by was truly customer service orientated. We had arrived 5 hours early after 7 days on a bare boat charter, eager to access a room for a shower and a much-needed rest. Having intended to drop our bags and head back into to town, and return at the scheduled arrival time, we were tremendously appreciative of the staff member who went above and beyond to ensure we could obtain early access to our room. Simply superb service! On departure we were again delighted to be able to obtain a later check out to align with our airport transfer. All this was offered with a smile and a genuine desire to make weary travelers comfortable. Thank you to the staff member at Sunlit Waters Studio Apartments, you are a legend.

It was all tremendous - nothing we did not like.

Immaculate & clean studio with stunning sea views over Airlie Beach Marina. Fabulous staff who were very friendly & efficient. Comfortable bed, spacious studio (number 5) before/after sailing the Whitsunday Islands. Fresh, white, quality bed linen was very welcomed. A 10 min walk (max) to the Main Street of Airlie Beach. Great value for money!

We were both able & mobile to master the VERY STEEP short hill (15% gradient) upto the property. Others need to be aware as not all will be able to achieve it! No tea towel provided. Softer pillows would be preferred. That said, we would stay here again.

Quiet hilltop location close to the town. The town of Airlie attracts a lot of younger travellers and can be lively in the evenings, so we appreciated being slightly remote. Our apartment was spacious, and we had a great view over the marina from the patio area. The swimming pool was adequate and welcoming in the heat.

In general the accessories provided were not of the quality we expect from an establishment charging $250 a night. Examples: no face tissues, threadbare towels, a tiny bar of soap and terrible quality made in China shampoo sachets that we required scissors to open (the scissors were poor quality too). The cheap hairdryer was full on or off. We were supplied with 6 milk pots between 2 of us for a 4 night stay during the previous weeks of travel cartons of milk were provided. Additional supplies were readily made available as were pool towels. We provided feedback direct to the owner which was politely received.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the views from the table in front of our room made it a great place to have breakfast or just sit with an afternoon beverage. The hosts were friendly and accommodating and assisted us by booking a cruise on the Whitehaven Xpress. The kitchen was small but sufficient and quite well equipped

The walk back from town finished with a steep uphill climb, but I suppose that is the price you pay to get the great views.

Motel style rooms overlooking the Coral Sea Marina. Rooms were simple, but cozy and clean and not too badly priced. We enjoyed sitting at our little table out the front of our room and watching the sunset. The accommodation was walking distance into town and down to the beach or marina (you do have to walk up a fairly steep hill on the way back). Deb (relief manager) was very friendly and was always up for a chat or to make a recommendation. Overall, Sunlit Waters exceeded our expectations and gave us everything we needed for our stay in Airlie Beach. Would definitely stay here again.

The pillows were a bit hit or miss.

The view over the Coral Sea Marina and Pioneer Bay was stunning, including the view from the pool. The pool was beautiful and clean and cool. Selina couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, the perfect hostess. A great friendly and casual holiday vibe to the place.

The shampoo sachets were a joke. I think they were trick sachets. If you could get them open you would be lucky to find 1 - 2 ml of shampoo in them. Walking up the hill to get to the place was hard work.

The accommodation is at the top of a hill in Airlie Beach with lovely views across the bay from the bedrooms. The property was equipped well and the owners were very helpful in booking airport transfers and keeping our big bags while we went on a overnight cruise in the Whitsundays.

Only word of caution is that this is a the top of a steep hill and there's no public transport up there so either you get fit or use taxis.. we chose to get fitter!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay here. The manager, Celena, was really friendly and chatty. Our air-conditioned studio was very clean and well-equipped, and had an amazing sea view from the terrace - I don’t think you could ever get tired of that! It was lovely sitting out there for breakfast. We also loved the peaceful location - in a quiet residential area, yet still just a 5-minute walk down a (very steep!) hill to many restaurants and bars.

Nothing!

The views from the apartments are lovely, overlooking Shengley Beach and marina. We enjoyed the sunsets ever day. Compact apartments with a full size fridge, Electric hotplates and a large electric frying pan, microwave, toaster and kettle. Extra large coffee mugs. We were able to cook up some delicious meals. Handy to shops, a short walk down the hill, and good exercise, to walk back up. We didn't mind a wet day, when we could relax in our apartment and watch Netflix. Debbie and Paul are a lovely couple and very generous with their time to make you feel comfortable. There is parking, but not undercover.

Amazing view from our room perched high up on the hill overlooking the marina, an easy 5 minute walk into Airlie Beach and the restaurants but the hill is way to steep to climb back up, no shuttle buses or Ubers in Airlie Beach but there are taxis that only cost $10.00 back to the accommodation. Our room was extremely spacious with 1 queen bed and 1 single bed, a table with 4 chairs, a lounge, full size kitchen and full size refrigerator, the only fault and there was no mention in the description when I made the booking but the bathroom is up 4 steps which if you are elderly or disabled in any way would be a disavantage. The bed was very comfortable.

The rooms are dated and need a refurb, the curtains and lounges are quiet faded and in yellow and blue colours from years ago,
