“Great location and value - beautiful view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

These apartments were ideal for a break in Airlie beach - just a short 3 - 5 mins walk down the hill onto the main road. The owners were really friendly and so helpful, recommending the best places to visit an offering good advice.

The apartments were far nicer than i expected, especially for the price - very modern and spacious and clean - everything worked and it was very chilled and relaxed.

Pool was lovely and a nice place to chill out after a day trip, and the view from the apartments is great - the only downside about the apartments is that the balconies are not private and people can walk past so make sure you keep your curtains shut! This isn't really an issue- certainly not to lose a star over. I think the apartments could charge more and i would still think it was good value!

Great place to stay - would recommend!

“Excellent accomodation in paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Really nice and small accomodation on the top of airlie beach, great view over airlie beach
The owner Stuart is a really friendly and helpful guy, we were very pleased and I have to say THANK YOU
When you go on a cruise trip to the GBR you can leave your luggage in the hotel if you come back maybe for a night after the cruise like we did.

Room Tip: The small appartement is more than enough for a couple

“Mixed review”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We stayed here for a couple of nights between a boat cruise. One of the staff seemed sick of us from the moment we arrived (to be fair though, this is typical of a lot of people who work in airlie - they seem annoyed with the tourists). Another guy, however, was really friendly, and even let us park our car there for free while we were on the boat. So that was a bit of mixed bag. However, the room was clean the pool had a great view. So, if you're not too bothered about amazing customer service but want somewhere easy to stay, this is a good place.

Room Tip: Try to avoid the strip next to the pool - a bit crowded

“Excellent accomodation in airlie beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

If you are looking for a nice, clean, tidy, quite and beautiful place in airlie beach, sunlit waters is where you must go. It`s a little bit up in the hill, but just 5 min walking to downtown. Stewart and Lisa, the owners, are excellent hosts, always helpful, with a smile on their face and trying to make your stay the best stay ever. Great quality price rate, everything looks almost new, simple but with everything that you could need in the rooms. I highly recommend this place and for sure I would come back.

“Fabulous as always”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Don't believe a word of the ridiculous review Austr255100 wrote. This is the second time we've stayed at Sunlit Waters and one of the reasons we returned, and didn't even bother looking elsewhere, is because Stewart and Lisa are so friendly, relaxed, helpful and really go out of their way to ensure you have a great holiday. The views are to die for and having the hill to walk up and down suits us perfectly as it enforces at least a bit of holiday excercise. The atmosphere is relaxed and most pleasant. The rooms are spotless and I'm a tough customer to please. Yes this is the tropics (we live north of Cairns) and there are bugs with wings. Deal with it or stay at home. We highly recommend Sunlit Waters if you want unbelievable value for money, fantastic views a central location.

Room Tip: For a couple, we love room 4
