The bathroom door itself was caked in grime and thick dust and there were cobwebs on the wall.
The ceiling fans had dust hanging off them. The window ledges were caked in dust and dirt. The balcony had obviously never been washed down. I could go on!
We stayed in apartment number 5. Glad I didn't have to spend too long it.

Please keep in mind
If you want to go to the Islands with Whitsunday ferries the Ferry doesn’t depart from there, you need to drive to Port of Airlie with easy parking and its only a 5 min trip by car.

There are beautiful walk ways around the Shingley Resort.
We are planing another stay soon. More

The on-site Rainbow cafe is a fabulous place to have a drink, a coffee or a meal. It is open for breakfast and lunch.

Overall we had a great stay and we were blessed with fantastic weather the whole week despite venturing there in the wet season (March).

  This hotel has great facilities and is in a great location, the room was great and even before I arrived I was impressed with the service when I emailed them... read more to book an airport transfer. The staff were very friendly and helpful before I arrived and asked me to provide my flight details and how to get the key from the safe as I arrived after the office had closed.

The room was really nice and had a great view of the marina, the hotel is only a short walk from the centre of town and a quick walk to the marina and boathouse. Styaed here for 3 nights and the restaurant here offers a decent selection of food for breakfast.

The only thing that wasn't that great about the hotel was that the aircon wasn't working properly but the fan over the bed was good enough to cool the room down at night. More
