With cabins, villas, motel units, campotels, as well as powered and unpowered sites available, there’s really something for everyone at the Island Gateway Holiday Park. If you’re on a strict budget, we suggest bringing your own camping supplies and making use of the many wonderful park features. From an outdoor pool and tennis court to barbecue and playground facilities, there will never be a dull moment. Just a 5-minute drive south of the CBD, you can avoid the hustle and bustle of Airlie Beach’s nightlife, without being too far away from the action. Whether you’re with the family, your partner or travelling solo, you can’t go wrong with a few nights at the Island Gateway Holiday Park.

If you’d prefer to stay where the action is and don’t want to pay a packet while doing so, then book a room at the Reef Gateway Hotel. Located on Shute Harbour Road, you’re only a stone’s throw away from the surrounding cafes, restaurants, bars and nightclubs that make Airlie Beach so popular. However, with an in-house bar and bistro, you might not want to go anywhere at all! Established over 20 years ago, the Reef Gateway Hotel is home to spacious, air-conditioned standard and deluxe rooms with FOXTEL, plus tea and coffee making facilities. If you’re not exploring the Great Barrier Reef or visiting the surrounding tropical Whitsunday Islands, you can spend your days relaxing by the pool here. With a tasty bistro, buzzing bar vibes and quality accommodation all in one place, where else would you stay but the Reef Gateway Hotel?
