Independent, Port Douglas hotels

"Positives: Check-in was smooth, and the location was convenient with the added benefit of free parking. Negatives: When booking, I specifically requested a quiet room for our babymoon. Unfortunately, the room we were initially assigned was very noisy. The walls were extremely thin—we could hear conversations from other guests, traffic from the road, and even a washing machine running at 2am right outside our door. Given that occupancy appeared low, it was disappointing to be placed so close to other guests. As a result, I struggled to sleep for the first three nights. Being pregnant and also dealing with a cold, this significantly impacted our stay and ended up being the biggest letdown of the trip. After raising the issue with reception, we were moved to a room at the back of the property for the remaining nights. This room was much quieter, and I was finally able to rest. While I do appreciate the staff’s efforts to resolve the situation, it was frustrating that we weren’t allocated a more suitable room from the beginning. Overall, the resort felt overpriced for what it offers. Housekeeping is only provided at an additional cost, and the rooms and bathrooms are quite dated, with poor soundproofing."

"Excellent location, communicative staff pre and post check in, fantasic amenities such as beach cruisers and all the things you could ever need for a beach day"

"Clean and excellent resort. Friendly staff would definitely stay there again."

"Perfect for a brief stay on the way to Daintree."

"Really enjoyed our stay !!! we had a swim out room which worked out so good for us with having 2 little kids. The resort is so peaceful and relaxing "

"Loved this quaint, well-equipped motel in the heart of Port Douglas, where everything was in walking distance. The room was large with a nice kitchenette. There was also a barbecue and outdoor kitchen that was well-equipped& laundry room. We may have used this if there weren’t so many great restaurants in town. The front desk person was knowledgeable & helpful with our stay, including booking transportation to the airport in Cairns. If you’re looking for something unique & convenient that’s affordable, then this is your place!"

"Housekeeping is garbage, don’t even clean the rooms, room service is terrible, no allocated parking spots "

"We had a great time at the pool. We also played table tennis and other games. Staff are friendly and helpful."

"The location of the hotel was excellent right in the middle of Port Douglas can walk everywhere. The main part of the room was quite small so it felt very cramped with our luggage. The bathroom was large, and the shower was very comfortable. The one major drawback for us was that there was a lot of scares climbing up and down to the second floor. Due to our very large and full luggage, it was very difficult climbing up and down."
