Several note it sits away from central Airlie Beach, so a car helps. Rooms win points for views and design, though some report thin walls, occasional musty or drain smells, and a few layout or comfort quirks. Breakfast is generally well liked but light on savory choices, and a couple of guests said advertised drink perks were not honored. Expect distinctive, design-forward lodging with a resort feel.

The serenity of the place is amazing. There are a view seating areas outside and the pool is heated. While you can feel the mass tourism in Airlie Beach, in Freedom Shores there is a calm and relaxing atmosphere and not a trace of noise. It is great to relax. At breakfst there is fresh fruit and you can take it to your room or somewhere else. As usual in Australia, there is no cheese or a choice of non-sweet options. Healthy options are available non the less. I did not have time to go but next to the hotel is a restaurant that belongs to the same owners that even locals love and drive out to. Sadly, the beautiful ship-shaped bungalows no longer have sea view but still are sold as sea-view. So you have to make a choice: the most beautiful rooms without a view or spacious suites with view. Seaview is really important to me. If you are okay with tropical trees from the room and sea-view from the common areas, you will be very happy in all rooms of this place because it is a well-maintained place with a lot of options.

This was the worst property and I didn’t even stay there. It’s very far from anything so we had dinner and what was supposed to be complimentary drinks (I’m ann Expedia gold member) and then we left to a place more central. I was shocked that I was charged for the drinks! After several rude messages from the hotel I’ll have to pursue the reimbursement from my credit card. I didn’t sign for the drinks so I’m pretty sure they can’t do that. Also there’s a pond that you have to pass to check in and there was a snake inside. No thanks! I am happy with my decision to not stay there but very disappointed in the rudeness. I wasn’t expecting that.

We stayed in the Beach Shack for a few nights. We were welcomed by management and made to feel comfortable. The staff were respectful and very friendly. The Northerlies hotel is close by and has great meals. Freedom Shores accom includes a continental breakfast. It is served in the main area where you can plate your food, put on a tray and either eat back in your room or out on the deck with great views. The beach shack has it’s own grassed area, sun lounges, cabana, loads of quiet spots to sit, wander onto the rocks at low tide. There are several curlews and turkeys that frequent the area as well. The beach shack is beautifully and comfortably furnished, the bed is comfortable.

You cant get a better slice of paradise than Freedom Shores. We love this place for its tranquil surroundings yet so close to Northerlies for a relaxing drink, eat and vibe. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and they make you feel comfortable with children as part of the booking. We love this place, nothing to improve.

I was advised that there is a complimentary shuttle bus and can be adjust if any of us need the bus earlier than 11am but didn’t mention that there is a strict 11am starting route . That’s why I booked with Freedom Shores even they are quite far from the center (15-20 mins driving )but if I had to choose again the distance will put me off rebooking with them. Otherwise all the rest was excellent.
I was advised that there is a complimentary shuttle bus and can be adjust if any of us need the bus earlier than 11am but didn’t mention that there is a strict 11am starting route . That’s why I booked with Freedom Shores even they are quite far from the center (15-20 mins driving )but if I had to choose again the distance will put me off rebooking with them. Otherwise all the rest was excellent.

Wonderful stay at the peaceful and quaint Freedom shores. Loved our boat house with stunning vista views that could wake up to everyday. Note it about a 20m ride out of the town.

Amazing parking was just a little far. Need to have a car for this place but it was WELL worth it. It was excellent all round. Highly recommend. Staff were amazing, property amazing. Favourite place I stayed on our trip of 10 hotels (some much more expensive)

Adorable property! All the rooms look like boats! Beautiful ocean views! Great out of town location but easy walk to beach front restaurants!

We stayed in the Beach Shack for a few nights. We were welcomed by management and made to feel comfortable. The staff were respectful and very friendly. The Northerlies hotel is close by and has great meals. Freedom Shores accom includes a continental breakfast. It is served in the main area where you can plate your food, put on a tray and either eat back in your room or out on the deck with great views. The beach shack has it’s own grassed area, sun lounges, cabana, loads of quiet spots to sit, wander onto the rocks at low tide. There are several curlews and turkeys that frequent the area as well. The beach shack is beautifully and comfortably furnished, the bed is comfortable.

The serenity of the place is amazing. There are a view seating areas outside and the pool is heated. While you can feel the mass tourism in Airlie Beach, in Freedom Shores there is a calm and relaxing atmosphere and not a trace of noise. It is great to relax. At breakfst there is fresh fruit and you can take it to your room or somewhere else. As usual in Australia, there is no cheese or a choice of non-sweet options. Healthy options are available non the less. I did not have time to go but next to the hotel is a restaurant that belongs to the same owners that even locals love and drive out to. Sadly, the beautiful ship-shaped bungalows no longer have sea view but still are sold as sea-view. So you have to make a choice: the most beautiful rooms without a view or spacious suites with view. Seaview is really important to me. If you are okay with tropical trees from the room and sea-view from the common areas, you will be very happy in all rooms of this place because it is a well-maintained place with a lot of options.

Tour stay at Freedom Shores was spectacular. We loved the resort and the story behind the landscape. They had a pool available 24/7 fenced off (which is kids friendly). However, unfortunately there were some down sides to it, for example; a few of the staff at the reception was not quite friendly and had unpleasant non approachable expression, also the breakfast that was included wasn’t what we expected (not even eggs to be served also what was more disappointing there was bread served the next day from the day before which didn’t feel fresh). Also, to keep in mind that on the net it says (Freedom shores Hamilton island) but it isn’t located in Hamilton island it is located in Airlie Beach which mean you will need to fly to Hamilton island and take a ferry which cost for 2 people $120 for only ONE WAY (which we paid overall $240 for ferry). Though, another alternative is that you can fly to Airlie beach directly to stay at freedom shores. Overall, our stay at freedom shores was very different as we had the opportunity to attend “ocean rafting” to see the Great Barrier Reef.

Perfect peaceful getaway for couples. A bit away from the main area of Airlie Beach so a car is handy to explore. Staff were so friendly and breakfast is a perfect start to the day!

Not our first visit and won’t be our last. Lovely rooms and really great restaurant at northerlies. 10 mins to Airlie, even less to all the conveniences you could need, supermarkets, chemists, pubs, etc. Staff we kind and extremely helpful. Continental breakfast is good for those that like or need to eat earlier and a bonus. Fabulous views over Airlie.
