Good no frills accomodation. Clean, comfortable and far enough away from the madness of Airlie Beach to be quiet. Great value for money. Would stay there again if I found myself in the area needing a roof over my head and not much money in my pocket.

Very similar to big 4 holiday but on a smaller scale. Our unit had everything we need for a 4 night stay, the lady on reception was very helpful and friendly. A car is required as the town is probably too far to walk to.

Really liked that place. Clean rooms, with bathroom, TV, fridge, AC. A number places to grill; nice pool with parrots flying around. Bus trip from airlie beach takes max 10 minutes. Nice italian restaurant and shop around. Bed was enough big for us :) Notice - beds are queen single.

Always wanted to visit the Whitsunday area, found this great affordable accommodation. Friendly & helpful staff at reception. Day out on a yacht with dolphins and whales topped our short stay - will return again.

Just spent a week at Kipara in a self contained cabin. Cabins have everything you need & clean & tidy. Away from the hustle & bustle of main street but only few minutes drive to everything or bus stop right out the front, supermarket next door. Nice landscaped gardens, friendly staff & overall great value. Will definitely be returning as... More

This was by far the most affordable place to stay from which ti base ourselves for the Whitsundays. We're backpackers on a budget, but we didn't want to be with the partying, bikini-clad idiots who swarm the hostels. We wanted somewhere quiet and affordable, and we got a pretty good deal with Kipara. The location is quite good - it's... More

Booked Villa from pictures expected something nice as was costing us $180.00 per night. The Villa was more like backpackers accomodation. The interior was very tired. Old 14in TV and ancient microwave. No wine glasses. The supplied towels were faded and bleached. Bathroom was in need of a tidy up. Advertised as double bed and three single beds, infact was... More

Management were absolutely lovely and very understanding when we had to re-arrange our dates (due to Sailing trip being cancelled last minute). Units are small but are value for money. Grounds and units are very clean. Beds are like a king single (so very snug for a couple)...so if you dont mind having less space than your used to then... More

I stayed at Kipara for two weeks an had an awesome stay so peaceful great sleeping in and very relaxing. All the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant especially Jenny in reception she literally makes the place. I had previously stayed in Airlie and the noise factor was terrible. 15 MINUTE WALK to town or 5 minute bike ride. Fully... More

Door lock didn't work, fan was too unbalanced to use, shower sprayed everywhere. Reviews from 09 were favourable but hasn't been maintained since then.
