Shingley Beach Resort has been recognised among the best in Queensland’s tourism industry, earning a Silver award in the 3–3.5 Star Accommodation category at the 2025 Whitsundays Tourism Awards.
The honour marks a milestone moment for the Airlie Beach resort, believed to be Shingley’s first-ever award. While unable to attend Saturday night’s event, General Manager Geoff Canard said he is proud of the achievement and admiration for fellow winners.
“Congratulations to all winners, not only for their dedication and heart-warming efforts, but for highlighting our tourism potential in our beautiful part of the world,” he said.
“It means a lot to me to be part of it all, Airlie Beach is my home.”
They described the Silver accolade as a shared success among the resort’s community of owners and investors.
“A silver win is a gold win on behalf of every owner and investor here at Shingley, none more invested than me,” they said.
“I’m so thrilled to be able to deliver value and service to our market, and to have an amazing supportive committee as well helps.”
Shingley Beach Resort impresses guests with its friendly atmosphere and welcoming facilities that keep guests coming back year after year.
Geoff said almost everyone turns up hot, tired, or maybe even cranky, and providing a welcoming environment is something Shingley Beach Resort takes pride in.
Whilst winning the silver in the 3 – 3.5-star accommodation category, Geoff is proud to announce that the resort has been undergoing upgrades, with several apartments now achieving 4.5 to 5-star ratings.
Shingley Beach Resort wouldn’t be the resort it is without the team behind the scenes.
“I want to thank all my staff, past and present especially Tracey Tyler for her support over years. This win is a shared win in my eyes, so thank you so much Tracey, I wish her the very best for her family and future.”
The award cements Shingley Beach Resort’s growing reputation as one of Airlie Beach’s most welcoming and well-loved accommodation options, and the team are only looking onwards and upwards.
