Staff were amazing, couldn't have asked for a more petfect holiday. ##### Charmaine M. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Benn F. 14 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great base for exploring We used this property for 3 nights to explore Magnetic Island. This is a big house with all the bits you need for even a longer stay. The pool is a let down with it being at the end of the complex in front of another unit. It is a bit smaller than the photo's elude to and wasn't overly clear and clean looking. Overall it was a good stay. ##### Benn F. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Paige C. 22 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful experience! We stayed at Docks 9 for vacation for a week. The property was clean, well taken care of and the staff was more than helpful! They arranged an entire excursion for us as we were not able to use our phones and had limited internet connection. It was a wonderful experience, and I will most definitely book again next time I visit! ##### Paige C.

Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Esther 2 Jan 2019 #### Great Location 7th, 8th or 9th stay at #9 The Docks but who's counting. Great location near the beach, shops and restuarants, but very peaceful. Clean and good amount of kitchen ware - perhaps some chopping boards could be added. Always neat and tidy which is why we keep coming back ##### Esther This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jude 1 Oct 2015 #### A Wonderful Place We recently spent 8 nights at number 9 and had a wonderful time. Great location opposite the beach, everything provided, comfortable beds. The bus stop is a short walk up the street and you can go to the other beaches easily. Supermarket is close by as is the bottle shop and a couple of great restaurants! We would recommend this apartment for an ideal getaway!! ##### Jude This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 1 Dec 2014 #### Awesome Everything we needed was there. Lots of kitchen appliances which was helpful for Xmas Day. View amazing. Didn't want to leave. ##### Lisa ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tasman Holiday Parks - Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Island-Gateway-Holiday-Park.h3866288.Hotel-Information) > > [Mango House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mango-House-Resort.h574907.Hotel-Information) > > [Nightelier Mission Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mission-Beach-Hotels-Mission-Beach-Resort.h2773789.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Gardens Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-Desert-Gardens.h67183126.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Meridian Port Douglas - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Meridian-Port-Douglas.h1479384.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Shingley Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Shingley-Beach-Resort.h2744419.Hotel-Information) > > [Bush Village Holiday Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Bush-Village-Holiday-Cabins.h11529204.Hotel-Information) > > [NRMA Airlie Beach Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Seabreeze-Tourist-Park.h9849072.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Green-Island-Hotels-Green-Island-Resort.h2650447.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique holiday home with private waterfalls and swimming pool right by your deck](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Diwan-Hotels-Only-Private-Guesthouse-With-Its-Own-Waterfalls-And-Swimming-Hole-By-Your-Deck.h29486623.Hotel-Information) > > [Burke and Wills Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moree-Hotels-Burke-And-Wills-Motor-Inn.h978570.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Daintree Ecolodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lower-Daintree-Hotels-Daintree-Ecolodge.h525492.Hotel-Information) > > [Darlington Grove Farm Stay in a Renovated Dairy Lots of Animals and River Access](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darlington-Hotels-Darlington-Grove-Farm-Stay-In-A-Renovated-Dairy-Lots-Of-Animals-And-River-Access.h37904197.Hotel-Information) > > [Silky Oaks Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Silky-Oaks-Lodge.h1636501.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [at Marina Shores](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Marina-Shores.h3398158.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayr Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-Ayr-Hotel.h78537272.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirage Whitsundays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mirage-Whitsundays.h11066236.Hotel-Information) > > [All Seasons Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mildura-Hotels-All-Seasons-Holiday-Park.h17962526.Hotel-Information) > > [Mantra Club Croc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mantra-Club-Croc.h519113.Hotel-Information) > > [Seascape Holidays at Seascape Temple](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Seascape-Holidays-At-Sea-Temple.h19802978.Hotel-Information) > > [Bounce Magnetic Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horseshoe-Bay-Hotels-Selina-Magnetic-Island.h89484711.Hotel-Information) > > [Abby's Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bright-Hotels-Abbys-Cottages.h3956857.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) ---
