Alternative Accommodation?

Obviously we think staying at Bluewater and similar is the best choice. My parents first bought an apartment here 25 years ago, and we've loved coming here as a family. 

The advantages of staying in a private apartment are

  1. Personalised quality. Not a standard “all rooms identical” setup, but with our own take on beautiful.
  2. You’re choosing this apartment location and view. You won’t arrive at your hotel and find you got a ‘dud’ room.
    Similarly the apartment is always fresh, no ‘older’ (dud) rooms like some hotels give some guests - you’ll find the apartment is kept up to date at a high standard.
  3. The Blue Water complex has its own pool, not accessible to people from the main resort.
    And you can use all the main resort pools as well.
  4. Personal ‘valet’ service from the airport - while everyone else takes a bus you’ll get picked up and taken directly to the apartment.
  5. Use of our electric buggy as part of the package, saving $90 a day.
    (You can still use the easy and free island transport, in air conditioned buses.)
  6. We like having our own kitchen. From small snacks to breakfast, or cooking burgers on the balcony. We still use the restaurants but choose what we feel like - go out for an amazing dinner or have a simple night in.


Of course we still partner with onsite staff ready to help with any issues you might have.

My mother no longer has an apartment here, but now rents her home out in Queenstown NZ (for a winter holiday?), and represents an apartment at Hamilton Island's “The Edge”. So if Blue Water 10 isn’t available on your dates, check out:


Wherever you stay, we hope you’ll enjoy your time on Hamilton Island!
