Put on your walking shoes and head to Catseye beach.  Catseye beach is a great spot to pull up a lounge and sit under a palm tree taking in the vista and enjoying the warmth of North Queensland.  Hire a board or catermarans, swim out to sea on a paddleboard or windsurf.  Explore Catseye Beach at low tide, hire a set of flippers and a mask and snorkel, see a range of fish, clams and soft corals right off the low tide mark.

 Enjoy walking?  Take a hike to Passage Peak and see a side to Hamilton Island and the Whitsundays that most don’t. It takes about 45 minutes and can be hard going in places, but once you reach the summit you will be rewarded with stunning views of Hamilton and the surrounding islands.  On a clear day, you may even be lucky enough to spot a whale!

Anyone for golf? The Hamilton Island golf club on Dent Island has now been completed and is ranked in the top 50 golf courses in Australia. If you are not a golfer, take the transfer to the island and enjoy a fantastic lunch at the golf course and enjoy the stunning views it has to offer.  A tour of the island and the course is offered and gives you an insight into the island and the development of this fantastic golf course. A great way to spend a few hours.

After a morning of relaxing or exploring, grab a bite to eat, choose from the tavern, deli or numerous restaurants or takeaway places on Hamilton.  There is something for everyone.  Sit back with a cool drink and enjoy the ambience and tranquility of Hamilton.

Jump on one of  the free shuttle buses that service the island.  Stop at the Island`s church where so many get married each year…. a stunning setting for a special day.  Sunset Hill is a great spot to watch the sunset with a cocktail in you hand. Take a sunset cruise or a sea kayak.  Watch the sun set behind the Whitsunday Islands, ending another perfect day in North Queensland before heading back to the mainland.

AMAZING – Pinnacles Resort and Spa – Airlie Beach

May 27th, 2010

After searching the internet for days, I sent an email enquiring about rates, dates etc to a few different places. Within half and hour I had a quick, prompt reply form the ladies at Pinnacles Resort, they informed me about the resort, transport, weather and surroundings. They were honest to advise me of there best price straight away they also encouraged me to enquire about other resorts, however after looking at the others, I was so amazed by the price and value I booked straight away! Might I add not one of the other resorts replied to me on the same day and none of them were as personal as Pinnacles response’s. The resort was so peaceful and had amazing views no matter what direction you looked, My favorite part of my stay was defiantly the room, the design and features in the room were way above my expectations, I would never stay anywhere else!!

For your Amazing holiday, stay at Pinnacles Resort and Spa, great Airlie Beach hotel accommodation in North Queensland.
