The room was well laid out and clean with amenities for a short/medium term stay. The two pools were excellent.

Nicholas Australia

Pretty good. No complaints. I’m good at having a go at rooms if not to standard - but this was good.

Dean Australia

a short walk to the center of town for restaurants and cafes.

David Australia

This was one of the best places I have had the pleasure of staying at. Friendly welcoming staff, beautiful and extremely clean room which had everything we could need and the private hot tub an extra extra plus.. Great location close to beach and the main street Highly recommended for a peaceful relaxing getaway will definitely be back. The best accommodation I have found in Port Douglas.

Jenna Australia

Receptionist staff excellent, location could not be better and very clean.

Simon United Kingdom

The location, facilities and interactions with staff were all excellent.

Tim Australia

the property was quiet and clean and good location

Desiree Australia

Loved the easy access of accommodation to Port Douglas town center. The accommodation was very comfortable and made for a relaxing experience.

Bradley Australia

The pool access from the balcony was to die for, the ambience of the pool at night time is unmissable. Given the weather is often rainy, the pool temp is quite comfortable even when raining or sunny. The rooms are spacious even for the studio, and the bed is freaking massive. The bathroom shower is huge and great water pressure, plenty of towels provided and good shower essentials. Quiet fun resort, lovely staff, honestly very lovely. They also helped us enable our engagement proposal without a hitch,l when the weather stopped us from our beach plans, it was fantastic.

Stephanie Australia

Excellent location close to everything, beach, restaurants, shops and marina.
