The apartment was huge with great views and really good A/C. Had everything we could possibly need. Only downside was the hike up to it from Airlie beach as we were on foot! Something to consider if you don’t have a car or struggle with steep inclines. Other than that 10/10 we would stay again!

Had to walk up a huge hill with luggage because transportation couldn't go up the hill. At reception on arrival it was closed. Keys to room were not in box as explained. Sat on luggage till manager came to help us and he didn't even say sorry. In fact we were an inconvenience. Wallet was left in room upon departure and we were told it wasn't there. After several calls over next day the wallet mysteriously never showed up. But credit card was used at McDonalds. So unhelpful. Promised calls back and nobody followed up. So unhelpful. The view was amazing and the rooms were ok. Master shower leaked all over the bathroom floor after every use. Not enough towels provided. Drawer in closet was literally broken and hanging off. The washing machine smelt awful. Would not recommend at all!!!

Has a fantastic view of the Coral Sea @ Airlie Beach. Unlucky can't enjoy it fully due to cyclone. Very big and spacious 3BHK apartment. Host was wonderful and gave us a late checkout considering flight delays. Gave a courtesy buggy drop to the shuttle bus. The pool with a overflowing ledge view to the sea was wonderful. enjoyed it in pouring cyclonic wind and rain still.

The room was nice, well furnished. The view was beautiful, and had a nice outdoor table to relax at. There was confusion upon booking, as I booked for 2 adults and a 12yo child, but the room came as one bedroom, so only 1 bed. Our 12yo daughter slept on the lounge, but I feel this is a booking agency trick, not the complex fault. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience.

We had a lovely stay at sea star apts. The 2 bedroom apt was huge, bed very comfy and a short 10 min walk to shops/restaurants. A steep walk up the hill back to the apts but worth it for the fantastic views

Lots of space in apartment. Needs updating in some areas. Oven is not easy to use. Hot tub was a nice extra but the door was very stiff and everything looked worn out. Didn’t smell that clean when we went in. Staff were friendly and when there was anissue with the toilet cistern they sent a plummer the next day. Advertised with use of pool and bbq but when we got there they were doing maintenance so we couldn’t use either. Views were amazing as very high up but a long walk up and down hill.

I would stay again but...

The apartment itself was outstanding: far better than pictures online! The views and balcony were tremendous, and the facilities were brilliant. We had plenty of room, and were very comfortable. Downsides were two main factors: the WiFi was extremely weak, which was frustrating as we had hoped to put Netflix on to drown out the noise of the karaoke bar nearby, which was quite loud. Also worth noting that the hill to climb back up to the property is brutal! Not for older or young kids...we struggled, and we're in our 30s! Despite the above I would stay here again for it's location, amenities, and price. The woman on check out (possibly the owner?) was really lovely and helpful, too.

Amazing view!

Great location not far from the town centre although it's a steep uphill hike if you have physical challenges that prevent you from walking uphill/downhill. The view from Sea Star is amazing, especially from the penthouse which has sweeping views of the bay. Would highly recommend the penthouse and Sea Star apartments in general.
