  We recently spent a few days in Airlie Beach staying at the "Shingley Beach Resort". Without any prior knowledge of accommodation options in Airlie we choose "Shingley Beach Resort"... read more solely based on information we found I the internet but were very happy with our choice. "Shingley Beach Resort" turned out to be a great spot if you want to be close to, but not right in the middle of, Airlie's hustle & bustle. The resort is a pleasant 30 minute walk from Airlie's main street along the water front boardwalk (maybe 40 minutes if you want to checkout the luxury yachts in marina or go to one of the restaurants at the far end of the main street). The resort itself, while maybe a little outdated, was clean and well maintained and had all amenities required for a great holiday. The staff were friendly and check in could not have been simpler. Just be aware that there are lots of stairs and steep driveways to negotiated and this could become a concern for older people or those with compromised mobility. I'm not sure if all rooms are the same but our one bedroom apartment only had a shower over the bath which was difficult to get in and out of and, again, could be a concern for older people or those with compromised mobility.

All in all this was a great spot and I would recommend it for "mature" (yes I mean older) couples and younger families so long as personal mobility (walking, stairs, steep grades, etc') is not an issue.

  Lovely spot to holiday in. All the mods and cons you need. Beautiful views. Close to all the water sports. Friendly helpful staff. Great food at the restaurant. Parking was... read more a bit hairy but great to have a garage. Will definitely return. More

  Stayed for a week and didn’t want to come home. Check in was smooth and Ally was a great help in booking us our tours. Our room was clean, comfortable... read more and had everything we needed. Full size fridge, microwave and all the basic utensils. Great pool, rarely busy, and easy walk or two minute taxi into Airlie itself. Several lovely restaurants in easy walking distance not to mention the gorgeous rainbow cafe with super helpful staff for breakfast, lunch, coffee, etc. Be mindful of which room you book if stairs are a problem, but just ring resort and they will sort. Thank u SBR team.

  We really enjoyed our stay. The building does show its age, however it is clean, and updates have been chosen tastefully (new floors and furniture are lovely). The layout of... read more our apartment (2 story 3 bed) was wonderful. We really enjoyed the views, and the location was perfect for us- away from the hustle and bustle (but a quick drive to town) and great eateries, park, boardwalk, Marina and Shingley beach at the doorstep. We have a 5 month old and a pram- so we loved this. The price is slightly over what we can generally afford, however having stayed at a number of other establishments in Airlie (we are Mackay locals), the pricing is on par. We would choose Shingley Beach Hotel over others in the same price range, 100%. More

We flew from SA and didn’t hire a car so we caught a taxi back to the resort as we had a 6 year old in tow and were tired from swimming! Only $6-$7 one way back to our two bedroom apartment.
We loved that the Resort is well managed has plenty of room and a full kitchen -we ordered online from Coles. When we didn’t want to cook The Rainbow Cafe on-site is open breakfast and lunch-I can definitely recommend eating here -everything is made from scratch! What ? Mostly unheard of these days including the baguettes with breakfast, the tomato relish and homemade beans with my eggs-yum Thank you a beautiful relaxing time and we will be back More

  We recently enjoyed a wonderful long weekend stay at the Shingley Beach resort, and loved every minute! The apartment was spotlessly clean, exceptionally well equipped with everything we could need,... read more the kitchen was fully self contained and the best part is that it was a doggy friendly apartment! So our very spoilt 12 year old staffy got to enjoy a relaxing holiday with us. The swimming pool and BBQ areas were clean and well set out, and the café onsite has the most delicious bakery and yummy selection of coffee and drinks as well. From the moment I emailed an enquiry to checking out, the service we received from Alison and Charmaine was super friendly, accommodating and professional. I highly recommend Shingley Beach apartments, and can't wait to book our next getaway here! More
