My son, Nick who is a VM at Boatys Airlie Beach booked us to stay at Nomads hostel for a couple of nights, my daughter and I stayed in a lovely place right on the seafront, it was comfortable and had a fridge, and 2 towels with complimentary soap, the toilets and showers were just down from where we were sleeping, it had breakfast at the island bar just a short 2-minute walk from there 8 am til 10.30 am and then lunch from 12 pm till 8 pm, we were made to feel welcome and to stay on such a beautiful Island as well made my stay perfect, highly recommend staying at Nomads hostel.

The hotel is located 20 meters from where the ferry leaves you from Townsville, so it is not necessary to have the car on the island, although if you bring it to the door of the hotel there is free parking for up to 3 days. The hotel is composed of several blocks, some with simple rooms, others with more or less large apartments. It has a giant pool. The access to the room is by stairs, there is the option of using an elevator, but it can catch you away and not avoid all the stairs, as in our case. Reception staff and lovely bar / restaurant employees.

Dont stay at this place, the owners operators are so rude .Disgusting customer service by email and reception. We phoned them direct to ask about a room we had previously stayed in by the old owners.I said do I book on line and can we book with you ? I asked what price and they quoted me a price.On arrival the rude bloke said who gave you this price in a loud and abusive manner.We went to the room.Road works right outside so was really noisy all day.When the workers finnished at 4.30pm they all met a couple of room away from us outside.Swearing. We had to go back inside. Forget the Arcadia Pub we waited 65 minutes fo a take away.People were walking out and demanding their money back. Next morning in our room, put kettle on and made some toast. The power went off. Phoned the owners who yelled at me and said he was not on site. We left.

Vous avez une haute idée du dépay*****t, de l'attention, du soucis du détail... vous êtes au bon endroit. Emplacement idéalement situé. Personne au petit soin, arrangeante ; lieu calme, lumineux ; un balcon privatif ; chambre très propre au confort certain (espace, qualité de la literie) un barbecue ; une lingerie ; un petit déjeuner ou se mêle saveur, couleur et diversité ; des produits (shampoing, gel douche, démêlant) de qualité et soucieux de l'environnement.... bref un 10/10 indiscutable. Merci d'avoir rendu ce séjour merveilleux.

I loved this place despite some downsides. It’s in the best area of the island, at walking distance from a stunning beach (Horseshoe bay). I booked it because I’m a digital nomad and Selinas are normally great because they offer a coworking space. The only issue is that I work European hours and I often finish at 9:00pm (as most of digital nomads I guess) but the kitchen closes at 09:00 and all the restaurants in the island close at 09:00pm too. The result is that during the week you cannot eat 😅 that’s not optimal. On top of that Wi-Fi stopped working for one whole evening and the following morning and I was stressing out because I had to send some urgent emails that could not be sent. For the record - there is not even phone signal so you cannot use data as a backup, you really need to rely on the Wi-Fi. Another flaw is that it’s too far away from everything, the only supermarket is 1hr walk (the bus runs only a few times a day) and they don’t even offer a scooter hire service (I had to get the bus and go to the other l’art of the island - it would be great if they organised something for guests). Nevertheless if you’re staying for the weekend it’s totally worth it. The staff is really nice, the restaurant offers good food and the place is just like paradise, it’s in the middle of the koala park. You are immersed by nature and it’s stunning. The dorms have very comfy beds and some have their own bathroom which is great. I am writing what to improve just because this place could be even better and has some room for improvement. But I highly recommend anyone to go (and I am already doing so)
