    Pros +

    • Comfortable room. Covered parking included. Location easily accessible to airlie beach without airlie beach prices.
    • On the main road to Airlie beach, reasonable price, apart from the lack of cleaning it can be good for a one night stay.
    • The location was good. The venue is getting a little bit tired but it was still adequate for our needs. We would stay there again. It was very convenient to be able to go to dinner at the hotel without having to get the car out. The fact there was bottled water and some biscuits in the room was also a bonus.

    Cons -

    • If you arrive after 6 there is a Weird entry through a gaming room that is not clearly marked.
    • Unfortunately the toilet was not cleaned at all, it was disgusting, we checked in around midnight and it was a very disappointing experience.
    • Nothing really as it is just the building itself that is getting a bit tired.

    On the main road to Airlie beach, reasonable price, apart from the lack of cleaning it can be good for a one night stay.

    The accommodation was connected to the hotel which was very convenient

    Bed was very uncomfortable, very bouncey bed and tap in bathroom kept running

    8KarenPosted on: 4-30-2025

    Booked it as a no frills, one night accommodation and it was exactly that. Comfortable and clean with basic amenities. Pub closed, however, as it was good Friday. Great water pressure in shower. Bus stop across the road so easy access to Airlie Beach central.

    9StevePosted on: 4-30-2025

    Close to all areas that are of interest to me great food, great staff, clean and affordable

    9JuliaPosted on: 4-28-2025

    Good spot to sleep and shower after a big night.

    Very bleachy smell, but once the windows were opened it was okay.

    7StevePosted on: 4-27-2025

    Quiet rooms and handy to have the courtesy bus to get you into town and back.

    Rooms are a little old however still comfortable and not bad value

    7ScottPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Great location and easy access too everything. Bed was comfortable.

    Need softer pillows

    10SharonPosted on: 4-15-2025

    Staff was very friendly when getting booked in.Rooms was good, clean, beds where comfortable.It was handy to the shopping centre. Nice walk.The bistro was very handy, been on the same complex and easy walk from your room

    That it is loud at night from the pub.

    6JenniferPosted on: 4-9-2025

    Clean. Able to do laundry easily.

    We were disappointed that we could hear activities from the courtyard from our room. (Bingo). It was a huge ruckus, but after a day of travel, it was hard to rest. Also the road noise was very apparent in our room.

    9RebeccaPosted on: 4-9-2025

    Rooms were clean. Staff were very friendly. We had room service a couple of times, for lunch and dinner. Food was nice. Staff were friendly and food arrived on time. So overall, very nice experience. Highly recommended.

    7MelissaPosted on: 4-8-2025

    We had a nice stay, the Reef Gateway was a nice place to stay, however, our room was old and outdated, tiles cracked, laminate bench tops stained etc. We had no interaction with staff except for checking in. Close to shopping areas was handy. Car park areas are small so if you have a large SUV or 4x4 you need several attempts to get your car in and out of the allocated space - it’s not the end of the world but a small issue. Overall a pleasant stay.

    6JoshuaPosted on: 3-21-2025

    Location price and cleanliness

    Had to fight off thousands of green ant to get our car.The car is still covered in them and we are back home in Townsville.

    8MelaniePosted on: 2-13-2025

    Under cover parking, great bar and food.

    Hard to drag luggage up the stairs, air conditioner wasn’t that cold.

    8StevePosted on: 2-3-2025

    Its proximity to everything , comfortable well priced great meals

    Liked it all that’s why I stay there

    8MichaelPosted on: 2-2-2025

    Location close to my twin daughter’s homes for a short independent break and local facilities. Staff very efficient and friendly, especially when I had a burst pipe in my room.

    Lacks a pool but I was aware of that
