Airlie Beach has a great mix of dining, from Chinese and Thai to Italian, French, and Modern Australian, with fresh Whitsunday seafood on many menus. The hotel itself has an outdoor BBQ area overlooking the pool, perfect for cooking your own meals. A large Woolworths supermarket is an easy 10-minute walk along Waterson Way, just at the bottom of your road, for groceries. You can also find casual cafes and a la carte restaurants in the town center, which is about an 8-minute walk downhill. For a quick bite, there is an on-site coffee shop and snack vending machines.
Sea Star Apartments sits on a quiet street above Airlie Beach, with ocean and island views over the Whitsunday Passage. The heart of Airlie Beach is an eight-minute walk downhill, where you will find a large Woolworths supermarket and a range of restaurants and cafes. Boathaven Beach is a 17-minute walk away, and the Coral Sea Marina, where many day trip boats depart, is close by. The area is relaxed and residential, yet the main strip and waterfront are easy to reach on foot.
From Whitsunday Coast (Proserpine) Airport, you can take a taxi, rideshare, or the Whitsunday Transit shuttle, which runs several times daily and takes about 34 minutes. The airport is roughly 40 minutes from Airlie Beach by road. If you fly into Hamilton Island, catch a Cruise Whitsundays ferry to Port of Airlie, then it's a 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride to the apartments. For train travelers, the Spirit of Queensland stops at Proserpine, where taxis and Whitsunday Transit buses meet arrivals for the transfer to Airlie Beach. The hotel also offers a door-to-door airport transfer service you can arrange directly.
In the evening, you can walk to the heart of Airlie Beach, about an eight-minute stroll from the apartments, where you'll find a range of restaurants and cafes serving everything from Thai to Italian and fresh local seafood. For a relaxed night, the outdoor BBQ area at the apartments is a great spot to cook and enjoy the ocean views. The nearby Coral Sea Marina and Port of Airlie are close by, and while day trip boats depart from there, the waterfront itself is a pleasant place for an evening walk. You can also book evening tours like the Whisper Cruises turtle spotting bay cruise, which runs in the bay and offers a different perspective after dark. The quiet street location means you can enjoy the town's offerings and then return to a peaceful setting.
Sea Star Apartments is a great base for exploring Airlie Beach. The town center is just an eight-minute walk away, and you can reach Viper Whitsunday and Wings Sailing Charters in a 10-minute walk, with Boathaven Beach a 17-minute stroll. For island trips, the Cruise Whitsunday ferry terminal at Port of Airlie is a 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride, and many day tour boats leave from the nearby Coral Sea Marina. Farther afield, Island Connections Whitsundays is 7.9 km, Cedar Creek Falls 15.2 km, and Whitsunday Islands National Park 29.0 km, so those are best reached by car or tour.
