“Base Airlie Beach Resort provides spacious, air-conditioned rooms with clean bathrooms, appealing to budget-conscious travellers, and the location is undeniably prime for nightlife, steps away from popular spots like Mama Africa and Boom. I noted that the availability of beach volleyball, laundry facilities, and a swimming pool adds surprising value for its class, although the kitchen could benefit from more frequent upkeep and better equipment. It's a social hub; the reopening of the Shed Bar, with its engaging party rep, contributes significantly to the hostel's lively atmosphere.”
