I recently spent 3 wonderful nights at Doubtless Bay Villas in Cable Bay, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the serene atmosphere of the property. The villa itself was beautifully appointed with modern furnishings, a comfortable bed, and all the amenities we could ask for. The private balcony overlooking the ocean was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The attention to detail was evident throughout, with the villas being immaculately clean and well-maintained. One of the highlights of our stay was the friendliness of the hosts. They were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was also fantastic, with easy access to nearby beaches and walking trails. It was the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some peace and quiet. We also appreciated the extra amenities like the tennis court and free parking, which made our stay even more convenient. Overall, I highly recommend Doubtless Bay Villas to anyone looking for a beautiful and peaceful retreat in Cable Bay. We will definitely be back!
the only downside was that there was no daily room cleaning service, nor were the amenities topped up during our stay. This was a bit inconvenient, especially for a longer stay, and something I feel could improve the overall experience.

This place is amazing, and hubby and I have been coming to stay here for the last five years and it never gets old! The view is what captured us in the first instance, as it was exactly the same as in the photo, which is sometimes hard to achieve. Along with the incredible view is the incredible villas. When we stay here we feel like we're being really spoilt for the view, location and of course the villa itself. To be able to get the same exact view from both the lounge and the bedroom upstairs is just magnificent! The owners are great and we only see them twice when we stay, which is when we check in or when we leave. However, they always let us know that they are there if we need anything. The villas are always very clean, tidy, fresh, warm, and the set up is ideal for a relaxing get away, like an anniversary. We would and do definitely recommend this place to anyone, friends and family. We always get a little sad when leaving, as we could stay there forever. Thanks so much to Jane and Mark too for their excellent service and making us feel welcome as soon as we walk in the door.
Absolutely, nothing!

Amazing! Views to die for! Spotlessly clean,very comfortable bed. Great spot for exploring .. we particularly loved our day trip up to Cape Rienga (thanks to Mark for the recommendations, we followed your tips exactly and had a great experience) Beach just below the apartment is fab for a safe swim and there are great takeaway options and supermarket all very close ...loved the Malaysian takeaway, Cable bay store and the Turkish takeaway in Coopers Bay

Panoramic, stunning views from your room. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable studio room. Fantastic Managers both Mark and Jane were extremely friendly and helpful and had a vast knowledge of the area. They provide information on what to visit and where to eat etc. The rooms have fans but not all have air conditioning. We didn't need the air conditioning or the fan but I know for some people it is a prerequisite in the height of summer. The rooms have windows and wonderful sliding doors that open right up which offers great ventilation. I highly recommend this property. We will stay again, but for longer next time. :)

The room was warm and cozy and had everything we needed. Loved the sliding doors that opened right up to the stunning view outside. Felt like your own piece of paradise.
Being asked by management to try to make our towels last for the duration of our 2 day stay. The noisy people above us who I was told were the owners. The stair lights kept getting turned off when we were fetching things from the car. Being locked out of the apartment that we had to enter to access our studio. The swipe worked, but the door was actually LOCKED. Had to walk to the office for assistance.

The location was great. Staff were friendly and gave good recommendations. View from the room was amazing.
Having to park the car away from the accommodation with two flights of stairs wasn't great with a 1 year old. Would probably stay somewhere else with a small family. Bathroom light connected to the fan, which was really loud, so I had to use the phone for light to not wake up other people in the room.

We had a studio room. It was small but worked fine, with a folding table and chairs for meals. No hob or barbecue, just the microwave. A couple of grocery stores and take-outs close by. Great view! Mark, the host, was very helpful with travel ideas, which we appreciated. We took a full day to drive to Cape Reinga and back from here. Lots to see along the way, so easy to make it a full day from here.

What a lovely place! Felt really special. Easy to find and good communication with the owners. Exceptionally helpful regarding local places to visit. We’d return again! Lovely little beach and bay below.
It is high above the beach so we drove down even though it’s probably only a 10 minute walk so, we didn’t fancy the hill back up 😂

The complex is in a great location and a nice unit. Accommodated an early check-in and a well explained process. Very helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.
The unit we got was partial view where as some have full view. Had to pay for bbq rental...should be included in the rental and on request.
