Airlie Beach Eco Cabins - Adults Only

Beautifully appointed to a very high standard, clean, comfortable and well stocked accommodation. Idyllic location a real treat for lovers of nature. Tranquil and sympathetically placed cabins that make you feel part of the surroundings rather than intruding into the natural habitat. Wonderful to watch the wildlife. Friendly staff, particularly Tina who we enjoyed meeting.

My wife and I stayed at Airlie Beach Eco Cabins over two nights over the period 4-6 Sep 2024. We had not visited Airlie Beach for over 19 years and the last minute nature of our booking as we headed south meant we were restricted in choice of accomodation. Our search revealed The Eco Cabins and we are so glad we decided on this establishment. While it is out of town it is not far from any amenities we required. The setup of the various cabins with their various themes is really clever, we stayed in one of the two rear cabins and were very pleasantly surprised by the size and homely feel of the cabin. The hosts have gone to a lot of effort to make you feel comfortable and we loved the lovely thought of providing welcome bubbly and chocolates. The Kitchen is well setup and has supplied basics I have never seen throughout our stays such as vegemite, cooking oil, butter, coffee bags and tea. The cabins were clean and had tasteful furnishings, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was modern and functional. One of the strong points for visitors would be the wildlife, there was bush turkeys, swap wallabies, Kookaburras and various other birds. The hosts feed the birds each afternoon in front of the cabins. A firepit is outside each cabin and a small quantity of marshmallows are supplied to toast if that meets your fancy. We highly recommend this establishment as the place to stay in Airlie Beach, we felt at home and very welcome.

Absolute comfort and privacy, cozy cabins set amongst beautiful bush landscapes, we stayed in Bandicoot Cabin and it had everything needed for an amazing and relaxing stay, John and Alison have thought of everything to make your stay extra special, champagne and chocolates in the fridge on arrival, small camp fire pit outside of each cabin, firewood, camp chairs, torch and marshmallows supplied, beds are very comfortable so good nights sleep too, we were lucky enough to see some of the wildlife around the property including a bandicoot who wandered near our cabin - we absolutely loved our stay here and appreciated the special touches, thank you 😊

This small, cozy, comfy, clean cabin has everything we wanted for a relaxing holiday. It is in a tranquil wildlife nature setting. We heard nothing but the birds singing and the leaves rustling. We enjoyed our meditations every morning. We baked fish using their banana leaves, lemon and lemongrass.The staff were exceptional. They looked after us very well. Shout out to Steve, the gardener for friendly chats & setting the fire for us😊

Just to clarify I don't recall specifying a parking request at no additional cost when I booked this property. We have been away since the 25th of October, and I have booked several accommodations for the various locations. This property was a nature lover's paradise; however, we did not realise that a car was essential for getting to and from the property. This caused us a considerable amount of stress and precious time as we first got a taxi to the cabin, had to drop our suitcases and then go back to the town, as there was no reception for taxi guy to charge cab fare, we did not have cash on us (we were then charged a double fare for the pleasure) then more time delays in hiring a car due to poor reception etc. The owners outlined the bus transportation option contained in information booklet in the cabin which is not viable really as this is still a considerable walk of several kms, and buses did not appear to be frequent. Had we known this in advance I would have organised car hire, all valuable learning curves. The location is wonderful, but you definitely need a car. Unless I slipped up here in original information provided, but folks arrange car hire in advance if you can. If not, my suggestion is to walk up to town upon arrival to Airlie Beach and then pick up your car. Taxis were a bit slow also in collecting from the ferry terminal. Finally, whilst the internet reception is fine, phone coverage does not work which is weird, however there are instructions in the booklet should you need to liaise with the property owners.
