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... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

Beautiful views, nice rooms...BUT... Stewart and Lisa were incredibly unfriendly, and this feeling was shared by all the other guests we spoke to, staying in other rooms There was an overall unpleasantness with the two of them that became difficult to ignore. When the wireless internet wasn't working the response from Lisa was "well, that's not my problem." Also, we... More

The combination of very competitive rates and a great location overlooking the town & harbour make this a very attractive place to stay. It's a short walk to the town centre but far enough to get away from the buzz of the main street and backpacker bars (the hill back is steep, but exercise is good for you!). The apartments... More

We stayed at sunlit waters for two weeks in early January. The rooms are spotless, bathroom has hair dryers and a stove with everything you need to cook. Great pool with unbelievable views, 2 min walk from main street and Stewart and Lisa are the most helpful and lovely people ever! Make sure you book here, anywhere else and you... More

We stayed here the night before we left for long island for our wedding. We used the place as a place to stay the night before we left to get ourselves organised and purchase the items we couldn't bring with us due to logistics. It suited our needs perfectly. The room was very clean, we had enough room for ourselves... More
