The Kipara Hall offers an extraordinary event space where the tranquility of the tropical rainforest meets total flexibility. This is your ultimate dry-hire, blank canvas venue in the Whitsundays region, perfect for everything from large corporate conferences (up to 80 seated) and community functions to weddings and major celebrations (up to 130 standing). The main hall is a 225m² open-plan space defined by soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and extensive windowing that floods the room with natural light and provides stunning views of the lush, green surroundings. The design ensures a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor mingling. Key Features: Self-Catering Advantage (BYO/Dry Hire): Unlike restrictive hotel venues, we operate a genuine dry-hire model. You are welcome to BYO your own alcohol (saving thousands on bar tabs!) and hire the caterer of your choice. We provide a functional, commercial-grade kitchen for preparation and service. The Kipara Deck: Arrive directly on our covered timber deck. This versatile space is ideal for welcome drinks, cocktail hour, smoking area, or simply taking in the fresh air under the canopy. Flexible Setup: The open floor plan means you can custom-design the layout for any need—formal banquet, theatre-style seating, cocktail party, or workshop stations. Inclusions: Air-conditioning, dedicated male/female/disabled facilities, ample on-site parking, and basic AV equipment setup are included to ensure your event runs smoothly. Choose Kipara Hall for an unforgettable, budget-conscious event where nature sets the scene, and you control the details.

This establishment proved to be a truly wonderful discovery. The rooms are private and maintained to a high standard of cleanliness. The staff members were all exceptionally friendly and courteous. Furthermore, the location was easily accessible, with a convenient bus stop nearby for travel into the town center. The setting was also advantageous, offering a peaceful atmosphere while being a short fifteen-minute drive from the heart of town.

Really enjoyed my stay here - nice peaceful private room a short way out of Airlie Beach. Simple but clean, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. 30 minute walk into town but cheap buses run regularly. Staff friendly and welcoming. Thank you!

We have had a great time during our visit, but very disappointing to use the bathroom as I can smell foul or mould and when I used the bath towel I can smell not clean and look at close in it I’m 100% it needs a good wash with chlorinated to look good and clean so that your guests will feel comfortable to use them. Another thing is cups or mugs and teaspoons that are not clean I even took a picture of them so you can see it also the top blanket wasn’t even washed after the previous guest left. About the tv we couldn’t access the Netflix or streaming services although we can watch other channels and that’s about it. Very disappointing. Maybe next time put effort into rooms for your guests.

The room is nice and clean, but there is a foul smell from the bathroom. We only stay for one night so we survived, Not sure if it’s from the sewage but it’s just an awful smell. Other than that it’s clean, convenient and great value for money! We also had a late check in and the receptionist lady over the phone is so kind, and accommodating.

Was not that impressed with my stay unfortunately. Staff were friendly, however the rooms were not clean. I understand this is budget accommodation, but cleanliness should be a basic standard. Room was damp and moldy, and the towel was also not clean, it smelt awful. The toilet had sick or human fescies around the bottom of it.
