Toscana Village Resort

“Idyllic stay in Airlie Beach”

Excellent location, really friendly and helpful staff, steep walk home from town but helped work off the meal! Pool was great to lounge by, we were in the ground floor, so no view to speak of, but right next to the pool. Great spot for families, nice and quiet.

Toscana has a wonderful ambience all due to the managers who bent over backwards to assist us and show us around the property before settling in. Our apartment was extremely comfortable - the furniture was great including the great outdoor furniture. There was more than enough to cook up a storm in the kitchen and the bed was amazing. The cleanliness of the whole resort was wonderful. The grounds are kept in an immaculate condition and the 4 pools are great to relax around. The views were simply amazing from our unit which was extremely spacious. The garaging was an absolute bonus as was the high speed internet. We would not hesitate to recommend this accomodation to anyone and we will be back sometime in the near future.

“It depends who you are”

It may only be a 200 metre walk from the resort front gate to the shops and then on to the waterfront. But that's a 24% grade. It's steep. And when you climb back up that hill and reach the resort, you keep climbing, up steps or steep driveways. There should be a clear warning "potentially unsuitab… more

It may only be a 200 metre walk from the resort front gate to the shops and then on to the waterfront. But that's a 24% grade. It's steep. And when you climb back up that hill and reach the resort, you keep climbing, up steps or steep driveways. There should be a clear warning "potentially unsuitable for seniors or those with mobility challenges". It was impossible for reasonably strong and mobile 80 year old me. The apartment itself was delightful. Tuscan in feel with ceramic floor tiles, space and sliding glass doors onto a spacious balcony overlooking the bay. Everything was clean and felt fresh. A few small things would help. Firstly, the split systems in the bedrooms are hard wired and either on or off. The temperature was set and leaving them on all night made the bedrooms just too cold. It would be nice to have some control. Secondly, I walked straight into the glass sliding door. They are very clean and lack any transfers so it's not obvious when they are closed. I'm surprised, because in Victoria such transfers are mandatory in buildings. Thirdly the cutlery is a mismatched set of cheap quality. They don't match the category of the resort. The same could be said about the toaster - needs an update. Finally, the rolling of bins, movement of work buggies and use of leaf blowers could surely be left until after 9am. Jo, the manager, was very helpful when I left a jacket hanging in the wardrobe. She mailed it back to me. Thank you. We enjoyed a restful four nights, but for seniors it really is very difficult. I never managed to find the pools at the back. The climb and steps were just too daunting. I'm sure younger people would have no problems. The resort description should make this VERY clear.

“Good for an Extended Stay”

We shared a two bedroom apartment with another couple but we only stayed for 1 night before picking up a bareboat charter the next day at Shute Harbour. Toscana is better suited to a longer stay.

We shared a two bedroom apartment with another couple but we only stayed for 1 night before picking up a bareboat charter the next day at Shute Harbour. Toscana is better suited to a longer stay. We had a full kitchen, laundry, spacious dining and lounge room areas, a/c, 2 bathrooms, and a large balcony. The complex also had a large pool plus 3 smaller ones. We didn’t make use of these facilities but it would be ideal if you were staying a week or more, especially with a family. The kitchen had the basics but could have been better equipped. If we’d been staying longer and cooking at home, then we’d have needed a bit more. The balcony was the highlight and was a lovely space, with an elevated view over the Airlie Beach township and beautiful ocean views that looked out towards Hayman Island. We spent a bit of time out here. From Toscana, it is a really easy, quick downhill walk down into the centre of Airlie Beach but (and its a big but), the walk back home is a trek, especially in summer. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk into the centre of town or to the large Woolworths but it was a different story walking back up the hill.
