Toscana Village Resort in Airlie Beach

We have spent the past three nights at the Toscana Village Resort near the Whitsundays. We feel so at home here at our Airlie Beach accommodation and are dreading the fact that we have to leave in the morning. The second we stepped foot into our spacious suite we knew that we would feel right at home here. Our suite has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining area, and a large terrace with million dollar views of Airlie Beach. Life is good.
