8/10

The Colonial Palm Motor Inn is a basic amenities property but clean and well maintained. It's bare bones but comfortable. If you need a good night's sleep a little walk away from the party center of town, with really nice views - this is a really good option but don't expect too much in terms of luxury. It's not backpacker level either - just a clean, well tended basic motel suitable for a family holiday.

The accommodation during my stay offered a delicious complimentary breakfast, and the accommodation has pool and bay views for the most reasonable of tariffs, and walkable to Airlie Village.

It’s a short walk to the main part if Airlie. Swim towels in the room would be good, to save the hassle of going to reception to collect them.
