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.
Response from Freedom Shores on 17 Feb 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, although we regret to hear about your less than satisfactory experience.It's important to note that our property is nestled in the natural beauty of the Australian outdoors, which often entails encounters with wildlife, such as the snake you mentioned near the pond. While we take measures to ensure the safety of our guests, occasional sightings may occur due to the natural environment surrounding us.Regarding the issue with the complimentary drinks, we'd like to clarify that as an Expedia Gold member, you are entitled to a selection of complimentary drinks from a specific list at our resort, rather than from the restaurant. We apologize if this was not clearly communicated during your visit. Had this been brought to our attention, we would have been more than happy to assist and ensure you received the benefits you are entitled to.Additionally, concerning the billing concern, our records indicate that charges were incurred for beverages outside of the complimentary list. We understand your perspective and apologize if there was any confusion. However, we kindly remind our guests to review their bills before departure and bring up any discrepancies during their stay so that we may address them promptly and amicably.We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services and communication. Should you have any further concerns or if there's anything we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out directly.Thank you for considering us, and we hope you have more positive experiences in the future.Best regards,Freedom Shores Resort

A real treat you deserve
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 place to stay
This place is nothing short of amazing - from the service that all staff give and the absolute surroundings of the accommodation. This is always my go to when I head down to Airlie and I have passed onto my friends how great this place is.

Great venue with friendly staff. Only issue is the room we were given the shower floods and when we mentioned it they fixed the issue but this then caused the drain to stink.

I loved everything, especially the amazing view. The only thing I could fault was the bed we slept on. It was so uncomfortable and both my partner and I woke up with stiff backs. It wasn’t enough to ruin the experience but would definitely make the experience better.

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.

Great getaway! Could not fault the room. Was disappointing that you could not have meals delivered to accommodation. Went to phone ahead to order. Rang through 3 times and it disconnected each time after a message to say come down to restaurant to make a reservation. When ordering after walking over to restaurant I found out that the menu in the room was out of date. Then had to carry food back to accommodation which was quite an effort with heavy dishes. I am quite mobile, but accomodation is not suited to anyone with mobility issues. You need to carry your own luggage up and down steps from the carpark. The accommodation that is meant to be smoke free resort is great. Until you are enjoying your glass of wine on the deck and the people next door come out and smoke right next to you 🙁. Despite these negatives, the views in intent of the resort is absolutely lovely. Bed is comfortable and the grounds well maintained.

Wonderful friendly staff both before & during our stay. Only critique would be the noise from next door & would have loved an outdoor setting in our suite so we could sit outside. Breakfast was lovely better than some five star places!

Beautiful property with great service. The boat cabins are clean and fairly new. The hotel is further away from Airlie Beach so you’re a little bit isolated and will need the shuttle service or bus to head into town. The hotel is great if you want a place to unwind and relax.

Wow! What a fab place to stay. Great for a couple of nights relaxation. On-site bar and restaurants both good and live music was a plus. Plenty to choose from at breakfast. Little touches like insect repellent and sun cream were appreciated.
