    Nothing about the accommodation, but it was a bit further from town than I realised.

    Our room was spacious and clean, bed was very comfortable. We loved the pool, which was a very good temperature. Office staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Loved the free extras like the ice machine and pool towells.

    Parking was a little tight but not out of the ordinary in a popular destination.

    The room was exceptionally clean and well set up. The check-in was quick and easy, with the host being very pleasant. One nice touch was the make-up removal washer. I know it sounds silly, but the thought that went into providing that shows an attention to detail and a commitment to efficiency. Not having to over launder or throw out white washers is better for the environment. The pool was a lovely temperature, and the motel was close to the centre of Port Douglas but a little away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it as a peaceful place to stay.

    Nothing to mention.

    Room was clean and property well maintained so it served its purpose as a place to sleep for a few nights. You may need to drive into town as it’s about a 30 min walk each way. Pool was nice too.

    No complaints from us.

    The owners were amazing, friendly, and very professional. Went out of their way to help us with tour bookings, shuttles, our personal requests, and were always ready to chat. Nothing was too much trouble. Our unit was very comfortable, roomy, a huge bed, and very clean. Nice outdoor seating, pool was great on a hot day. Easy walk to main part of town.

    We had a hire car, so it didn't matter to us, but it would be a bit far out of town if you didn't. I saw there is a shuttle bus available but it would get expensive for a family to use it multiple times. Still a good location for the beach and a great location if you do have a car as there is parking provided.

    We stayed with our three young kids and had a great time. The kitchenette was really well appointed which made it actually useful. There was a large electric frying pan as well as an electric burner, a four slice toaster and cooking utensils, which makes a big difference when travelling with kids as we were able to cook a few proper meals during our stay. The pool is heated to a lovely temperature which is a real treat in Queensland! Most of the places we have stayed before have pools that are unheated and absolutely arctic, even when the outside temperature is warm, so it was fantastic to be able to use this pool. The kids stayed in it for literally hours because it was so lovely and warm. The owners were really friendly and approachable and they have done a good job to make the property a welcoming, enjoyable place to stay. They provide beach and reef towels free of charge, which is helpful when doing so much swimming and there was also an ice machine, which was a nice touch. We will definitely stay again and would recommend others to do the same. Thanks for having us.

    The room and facilities were spotless, rooms very dark from the tree's, but this is probably appreciated more in the summer months to stop the sun beaming in

    Accept only AUD 1 for laundry. Clothes still damp after 1 hour of dryer. But owner was considerate to place many rack dryer for use.

    Super friendly and helpful owner. Nice and clean bed. Heated pool. Carpark just outside room.
