Stayed there two single nights before and after a boattrip. Cabins and rooms are basic but clean, haven't seen the area around. But what outstanding service: We originally booked a "Villa" and a room because we (couple) and a single friend travelled together. At Check-In she offered us, that we should have a look, if the bunk bed in the... More

The owners provide a great, friendly service and trust the paying public, there guests to behave in a manner with the setting and hospitality they offer. The cabins are lovely, the area lush, every thing is clean and tidy and what you would expect. BUT BUT why can't the people staying here be bloody respectful to one another, we came... More

ok, it's not the Mirage or the Hyatt but seriously, at this price you can't even get a decent meal in Airlie beach so I was overwhelmed with the bargain price of $59.00 in a private room. I will be honest...If I am staying in a hotel, I always stay in 4 to 5 star properties only because there is... More

Hosts Bruce & Shirley Manners are warm welcoming people. Resort is set amounts a rainforest style setting. Accommodation is comfortable, clean and peaceful. Pool, BBQ areas and camp kitchens are well maintained and very servicable. Night time sees natural local wildlife such as green tree frogs, bilby,s and Bush Turkeys freely strolling around the park. Very close to town. A... More

We spent a week in one of kipara's private rooms at a bargain price of $245, they had a rate of $195 with a minimum stay of 2 weeks, we weren't sure how long we'd be staying for so they agreed to deduct the $50 off our initial payment if we decided to stay longer. The rooms are clean, ensuite... More

Thanks for your great review! It is most rewarding to have such a pleasant compliment and we accept the couple of flaws as our aim is always to try improving. We work hard to offer the highest quality of service and clean rooms for a budget, great value price to all our travelling guests. I believe it costs nothing to... More

Kipara was the only establishment in Airlie Beach that was prepared to host us for one night only on New Year's Eve (there was a minimum stay of two nights but fourtunately the staff were happy to waive it, and other places had minimum stays of 3 nights or more). When we arrived, the friendly and helpful attitude of the... More
