The apartment was great value. Could not believe it had only 3 stars as it suited us wonderfully. Room was marginally small but it had all the facilities. The place had a good barbecue and a lovely pool. Beautiful location on top of the hill overlooking the marina and Ocean. Would happily choose it again.

Fantastic location

We loved our time at Sunlit. The suite was great and the views were fantastic! The only drawback was that dishes were not clean and thus I felt I had to wash them before I used them. Likely the people before us just didn’t wash them very well. Dean was attentive to our needs, and Peter even purchased a small magnifying mirror for me to use. This is an excellent location about a ten minute walk to the main town for restaurants and great shopping and adventures. I can highly recommend this spot for anyone on a budget.

Great spot! Owner was not super welcoming or warm when we arrived but we didn’t have any issues after checking in. Very steep hill to manage when walking to and from the shops, so it wouldn’t be for everyone. Clean, spacious. The most gorgeous views from the balcony! A beautiful spot to start and end the days. We would definitely stay again!

I love this place!

Cozy, chill spot to watch spectacular sunsets in the pool. To get that view you’ve got to get up a very steep, short hill so plan accordingly. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Owner is great and happy to book local activities. Good value for the area.

I loved my stay in the apartment and wish I could have stayed longer. There’s quite a steep hill to get to it but the west-facing view is great for sunset and the pool right outside the room is wonderful. Peter is a very gracious host and ensured everything was comfortable for my stay.

Beautiful sunset views over Airlie Beach. Great vibe. The woman who essentially does it all is “Jamele” who cleans the rooms, manages the office, and helps guests with all details. Even with a broken ankle, she manages to always have a smile and a g’day for everyone.
