"The couple that run this property are very quick at communicating. They are very helpful with anything you need. The best thing about this property is the location. It is right in the middle of all the restaurants and shops. Itโ€™s a 5 min walk to the marina and waterfront. It was perfect! The air conditioning didnโ€™t work very well. Thankfully we had good weather and kept the patio door open. I would definitely stay here if you do not have a car. Iโ€™d stay here again as it was the perfect location in Port Douglas."

"Really enjoyed our stay here. Highlights were the amazing pool, the food in the restaurant (particularly the Indonesian night), the big rooms (although dated), beautiful trees and the rainforest walk through. I recommend 'Port Douglas premium transfers' to and from the airport - awesome driver. SR coaches cancelled on us. Port Douglas is incredible, the beach is so beautiful. Also a great cafe called St. Crispins a short walk from the resort with awesome food and coffee. We would come back and stay here!"
