Thanks to Colleen and John. Everything was better than I expected and well deserving of the star rating. I will be back with my family and next time we are bringing friends as well. After visits covering 30 years I still think Airlie and its surrounds as one of Australia's best destinations. Portside just made it better.

This is the place to stay in Airlie - some of us had stayed there 9 years ago and knew the locaion and quality of the property. When our family of 19 adults and 7 children chose to get together for Easter in Airlie the decision about accommodation was easy - Portside was the unanimous choice! We booked the penthouse... More

Portside itself was everything we'd expected from 4.5 star accommodation but it was the friendly helpful service and convenient location that made this place extra special!!! As soon as we arrived we were given a warm welcome by Colleen and informed of all the "must-see" things to do on our short weekend stay. Everything is in walking distance to Portside... More

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage kids) were not sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised with both the accommodation and friendly service. All of our tours were booked by the motel with good advice and options provided on dining out and tours. The main street is just around the corner and a very short... More

Wow, This the place to stay in Airlie whatever reason you're there for. Minutes to shops, restaurants and no steep hills to climb. We had a two bed unit with rooftop . Rooftops are massive with table and chairs, lounges and bbq and jacuzzi so plenty of room if you were meeting for a family reunion up there.Colleen is an... More

I have stayed in many apartments in Airlie Beach and Portside is by far the best! Not only is it just a few steps away from town but is NOT on a dreaded steep hill like most accomodation in Airlie Beach. The rooms are nice, clean and tidy and have all the essentials needed for an enjoyable stay. The management... More

I am sorely tempted to leave out the word ‘luxury’ from the name after staying here, especially having paid $220 per night for a one bedroom apartment. The overpriced apartment was in need of a major makeover, although alright for a short stay, however it certainly could not be described as ‘luxury’. There were 9 pages of rules and regulations....

We have just returned from a 8 night stay at Portside Whitsunday, had a great time. I had spent a lot of time on the internet looking where to stay. For 8 nights we thought self contained was best. You didn't have to be up at set times for breakfast like at resort & hotels etc, you could sleep in... More

Nice place to stay in Airlie Beach. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was well set up and had great views from the living area, balcony and bedroom. On-site manager Colleen was friendly and welcoming and gave good recommendations for local sights and restaurants. The location was a big advantage, being a short walk to the main centre... More
