Coral Point Lodge Shute Harbour Accommodation Review

Coral Point Lodge Review

Image taken from Coral Point Lodge Balcony facing the Shute Harbour Marina. For a fraction of the cost of Airlie Beach accommodation, Coral Point Lodge not only offers a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, it is close to the Shute Harbour Marina and all those cruises and water sports people can enjoy in the fabulous Whitsundays. If you are going to take a cruise or any sort of day trip from Shute Harbour, the Coral Point Motel is located very close to all that type of action.

Recently we took a group of 5 adults for a 2 Island Cruise with Fantasea Cruises and looked for accommodation close to the Shute Harbour Marina. We searched the net for the closest accommodation to the marina and the Coral Point Motel came up the best positioned, at the best price, for our requirements. A simple phone call was all the was needed to book an apartment to house the gang and we were all set for our day in paradise.

The Coral Point website stated that each room had ocean views. "Wow" is what one of our guests from Finland described the view at first glance. The balcony was facing the Shute Harbour Jetty and there were many minutes spent relaxing and taking in the magical view.

The 3 bedroom apartment was fully self contained with separate bathroom and toilet facilities. 2 bedrooms faced the marina with each having a small balcony and the main open space lounge, kitchen, dining area had a nice balcony with outdoor seating. Furnishings are stylish and comfortable and the units are air conditioned, which is essential in the tropics between October and April.

There is a BBQ area for easy meals and a pool with the most gorgeous view you could ask for. What a place to relax and get ready for a day in the Whitsundays or to unwind after a hard day in paradise. Undercover parking was supplied below the apartment and check in and check out was a breeze.

The Coral Point Lodge does have a small cafe and restaurant, but at the time of our visit was being refurbished so cannot make a review comment about the meals. As our room was self contained we picked up some supplies for the supermarket in Airlie Beach and cooked our own.

The views are worth the price that you pay, so you could say the accommodation is a bonus. We enjoyed our swim in the crystal clean pool, and wowed at the views while enjoying the dip.

This review of Coral Point Lodge is completely unbiased. We have no connection whatsoever with the motel management. We rate the accommodation as 3 stars and the views at 5 stars. For what you pay this is quite affordable and is away from the Airlie beach hustle, bustle and noise. Again we must state it is not luxury accommodation, just good clean and comfortable 3 star accommodation close to Shute Harbour Marina and about a 10 to 15 minute drive to Airlie Beach.

We would suggest that you need a car or your own transport if staying at the Coral Point Motel, as it is a fair walk around the ridge from the boat jetty, but just a few minutes by car. We would certainly stay at the Coral Point Lodge next time we need accommodation close to Shute Harbour. For the price it is great value.
