Location and getting around
Lamond Street is in the entertainment district near the beach, just off the main strip. The lagoon is about five minutes on foot, Coral Sea Marina about ten, the Airlie Beach market about twelve, Boathaven Beach about fifteen and Port of Airlie about seventeen, so it is a fair walk to the busiest tour departures and many guests use a shuttle or a taxi on boat days.
The Deck is about six minutes away on foot, and Whitsunday Seafood Bar and a few other casual places to eat are close. Whitsunday Coast Airport at Proserpine is roughly a 31-minute drive, and a round-trip airport shuttle is available for a fee.
The rooms and the feel
The accommodation is a two-bedroom town house with a garden view, sleeping up to seven guests with four twin beds, sofa beds and day beds, which makes it one of the better-value options for a big family or group. Each room has air conditioning, free WiFi, sound-insulated walls, a balcony or patio, a refrigerator, a microwave, a hair dryer and a television with a DVD player. A refrigerator and a microwave make simple breakfasts and snacks easy before early departures.
Facilities
The pool area is the big draw for children, with two outdoor pools, a children's pool and a waterslide, and there is a water park on site for a fee. Adults can use the barbecue grills, the billiards table and the garden, and the property can help with tour and ticket bookings. Laundry facilities and beach towels are available. Rafting is available nearby.
Practical details and who it suits
Free self parking is a saving in a town where many people hire cars. Check-in runs from 2 pm to 6 pm, with late check-in during limited hours, and check-out is at 10 am. Cats and dogs are welcome for a nightly fee per pet, and service animals are exempt from the fee.
Choose Airlie Beach Motor Lodge for a family or group trip, for a pet-friendly stay or for a pool and waterslide at a moderate price. If you want to be steps from the lagoon and restaurants, Heart Hotel and Gallery Whitsundays is closer.
