Shingley Beach Resort - Whitsundays | Book like an insider

What guests think

At Shingley Beach Resort - Whitsundays, travellers praise the marina-side setting and spacious apartment-style rooms with balconies and views, while noting inconsistent cleanliness in places, some dated elements, and occasional Wi-Fi or maintenance shortcomings.

It is generally quiet and walkable to the marina and boardwalk, though the hillside layout, steep driveway and intermittent lift access can make mobility difficult. Service is frequently described as friendly and helpful, although a few guests encountered limited reception hours or light housekeeping. Pools, undercover parking and laundry facilities are handy, and the on-site cafe suits breakfast and lunch but receives mixed feedback and is not open in the evenings. A practical choice for a relaxed Whitsundays stay.

2 bedroom stay- Clean and tidy located centrally between Airlie Beach town and Cannonvale. Jeff at the front desk at checkin was great very friendly and welcoming. Greta view from room & balcony. Free undercover parking, laundry facilities if not already in your room, cafe with friendly staff. The main pool area was closed for tiling however there is a smaller pool available and a beach across the rd. 2nd time we’ve stayed. Thank you

We had a wonderful stay at Shingley Beach Resort. Great location, well appointed and spacious 1 bedroom apartment. The 2 pools and cafe on site were great. Our room had a beautiful view of the Marina and ocean. Easy walk to restaurants. Short drive to town centre. Would highly recommend.

I had a really lovely stay at SBR. It’s a dated building, but has everything you need. The location is wonderful, just far enough out of town so that it’s quiet but close enough that it’s a pleasant walk with lovely views. Easy to access reef tours and jetskis and some restaurants. Loved that there is a cafe, nice food to start the day. I had an ocean view room and got to watch the sunrise every day. I watched the sunset from the pool. I loved the plunge pools, could have spent all day and night in them!

Apartment 32 had nice views to the port but the mattress was very soft and cheap and there were no laundry facilities as advertised. Lift was not working so hard to get to every level with heavy luggages or limited mobility. Old cheap sofa bed too not suitable for sleeping free of back pain. Loved the parking and cleaning of the apartment. Short on toilet paper, no speare bin bags provided but it has enough kitchenware for a few days stay. No room services to change wet towels or bedsheets in 4 days stay. No pool towels provided. 1 bathtowel 1 hand towel per person provided. 1 floor mat towel per apartment. Fan just works on the fastet setting, there low and medium setting doesnt work. Aircon works well. Comfy pillows.

A dated resort with friendly staff and lovely amenities. Downside is being an older block, the plumbing was loud every time there was a flush on your floor. The aircon was noisy and the dryer didn't work. In saying that, the views were great, walking distance to local food, downstairs pool and plunge pool. Cafe as well as under cover parking

Great location. Clean, spacious and quiet apartment. I didn’t feel kitchen wasn’t fitted out to match the price paid - ie only two drinking glasses. Adjoining Rainbow Cafe is recommended for breakfast with good service. Tip - the marina view rooms may only be a small glimpse of the water, for better harbour views take the ocean view rooms which are the next row up the hill. Suggestion - a full length mirror in the apartment would be useful & appreciated.

The location was good, away from the noisy town centre and the pool was great. The bathroom was very below par with dark mould all around the bath/shower. The room was not very clean. The kitchen was well equipped but ventilation was poor and we were advised to leave the front door open, even to cook a slice of toast.

We never had contact with any staff whilst there. The coffee shop onsite was closed in the evenings, and had no connection with the resort. The bathroom was in need of cleaning- the grouting was dirty. The washing machine was good, but no powder provided.

Beds were rock solid with very thick firm pillows. Horrible. Mould on ceilings in bathrooms, PowerPoint no longer connected properly to tiles in bathroom, overall the place needs renovating. Plus my 70 year old grandmother had to walk up and down that steep driveway. They should really find a way to fix that.
