Harbour Cove

Absolutely beautiful property. The apartment has a contemporary design, very nice, on the harbor, not the ocean/ beach. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching boats arrive and leave. Simon was helpful and personable. The only negative is I didn't receive arrival information until after we arrived but we located Simon and all was good. Thanks for the great restaurant information. The Pub was excellent!

Perfect location to explore the Whitsundays. Close to center of town and close to ferry to Hamilton Island. Very well equipped apartment with everything you might need for a vacation. Nice and spacious balcony, very comfortable and modern design all over.

Location was perfect, far away enough from the noise of Airlie, yet walkable to everything.

outstanding place... clean, quiet, great views. highly recommend !!

We were met by a very pleasant gentleman Simon who explained the facilities and the area, and took interest in us and where we were from. Anything that he recommended was excellent, especially La Tabella, and Hideaway Bay The facilities were amazing, home from home and in a peaceful location Lovely pool Highly recommend!

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and Simon, the owner, was there waiting for us at the property! He helped us with our bags, and showed us to our apartment on the 3rd floor after a quick elevator ride. The apartment had all amenities -- full kitchen, washer/dryer combo (which we took advantage of after traveling for two full weeks before our arrival at Harbour Cove), comfortable living room furniture, and a double-sink huge bathroom with both a shower and a separate soaking tub ensuite to the separate bedroom. Simon was most attentive when we discovered that there was not enough detergent or towels for our needs when we arrived at the apartment. He left and returned in a matter of minutes with the needed items, and left them for us on the dining room table. He didn't disturb us while we were relaxing on the balcony enjoying the magnificent views, which was very sweet! The views were stunning, and we enjoyed relaxing on the large balcony watching them at different times with the changing tide levels. When we came, it was low tide and the harbour was mostly devoid of water. When we woke up the next morning, we were treated to a harbour full of gorgeous blue water as the tide was in! We loved the changing scenes based on the tides. Simon was also a wealth of information about the town, restaurants to eat at, where to purchase our needed supplies, etc. One of his recommendations for dinner was La Tabella Trattoria. We had the Veal Scallopini. It was delicious! In fact, we loved it so much that we went back the following night and had the same meal!! The apartment is located right on the harbour so boats and the ferry were located right in front of our balcony. It was convenient for our day-long cruise the next morning to the Great Barrier Reef -- a 30 second walk to get to the ship terminal, and also a 30 second walk to the Grayhound Bus terminal which was handy the following morning for our bus excursion up the coast to Cairns. We are so happy that we found this accommodation. It was exceptional!

Great condition apartment. Enjoyed our stay. Large waterfront balcony was a perfect spot to relax. Next door to Airlie ferry terminal and 100 metres to Boathouse for breakfast. Flat walk along boardwalk to main shopping and eating area. Very quiet. Windy - which would be most welcome during summer heat.

Harbour Cove is in a great location, around 10 minutes walk from the Main Street in Airlie Beach and literally right next door to the Cruise Whitsundays ferry terminal. That came in very handy for us when taking an early morning ferry to Hamilton with two young children, as it is less than a minute walk. There are also some cafes/restaurants close by in the Boathouse apartments area. We stayed in apartment 102. Host Simon met us on arrival, showed us the apartment and helped with our belongings. We also appreciated his suggestions for restaurants etc. The apartment had a “gate” out the front of the glass entry door, which Simon gave us a key for to keep our little ones from escaping, and worked very well for us. We had a little issue with our air conditioning which was sorted quickly with a text to our host. The apartment is lovely and modern with a full kitchen, stone bench tops and a large balcony. The master ensuite has a great bathtub and the other bathroom has a shower with dual shower heads. There is a European laundry, dining table and living area. There is an extra TV in the master bedroom. It’s a little high to watch comfortably but there’s not really anywhere else to put it. It was nice to have two TVs though with the kids. The view out to the water and cruise terminal was nice and we spent a lot of time eating on the balcony. We used the pool daily, it’s ok for kids as there is a shallow area before it gets deep - it was cool and windy though when we were there so can get chilly even though it’s temperature controlled. I always look at accessibility and this property is fully accessible with a lift and open showers. A couple of suggestions - we had a full kitchen and an apartment with four people however only three dinner and side plates so it would be good to make sure there’s enough. We also liked that there were containers in the kitchen but a Pyrex dish would be handy for the oven and microwave. We had a great stay and will stay again the next time we are travelling to Airlie Beach.

Amazing stay. Simon left a very informative list in the apartment, listing places for coffee and food. There’s secure basement parking. A lift to access different floors. Beds were super comfortable. And the showers were perfect. From both balconies the views were amazing. Harbour Cove is located in a quieter area, but a very short and easy walk to cafes and the local supermarket. I’ve already started recommending Harbour Cove to friends.
