Pioneer Bay Homestead
Introducing Pioneer Bay Homestead at Freedom Shores – your haven of laid-back luxury in the heart of the Whitsundays. Our newly unveiled homestead features three breezy bedrooms all with king beds and their own ensuite bathrooms. Slide into island time with private waterfront access or walk 1-minute across the lawn to Northerlies – Airlie’s favourite beach bar. Enjoy incredible ocean views from the wrap-around balcony & private lawn, then head inside to find a fully equipped kitchen. Guests also have full access to the resort pool which is just a 5-minute walk from the Homestead.

Can I swim at the beach?
We don’t recommend swimming at the on-site beach. The tides are very unpredictable, it’s quite rocky & the Whitsundays is home to seasonal stingers. However, you do have full access to the resort’s heated pool, just a 5-minute walk from the Homestead.
How is breakfast served?
Our homestead guests will receive a bonus basket of breakfast goodies upon check in. Guests can also walk up to the resort to enjoy the continental breakfast served in reception daily.
Can I bring my dog?
As much as we love our doggos, unfortunately we are located on a wildlife reserve, so pets are not allowed on the grounds.
