I highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast for anyone who wants to stay away from the seedy bustle of Airlie Beach's main drag. It's a warm and exclusive place (only 3 suites all up I think?) and a wonderful place to come back to after a day trip out (which the hosts can help book).
I was quite impressed with how the hosts organised things around us, not the other way around. For example, we gave an indication of 9am for breakfast, but then we booked an early snorkelling trip last minute and they were happy to make breakfast for us two hours early.
I stayed in the King suite which was clean, spacious and had a great view (see photo). The King bed was better quality than that of Daydream Island's which I stayed after I left Island View.
Unfortunately it was a little too cold for me to swim in the pool (stayed here in Winter), but it was kept clean and you could swim if you wanted to. Had it been summer I could have imagined myself lazing by the pool all day!
If I ever go back to Airlie Beach, I'll definately stay at Island View Bed & Breakfast again. Terrific value!
