We had a very spacious two-bedroom apartment which was very comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed the pool and even used the communal bbq. The location is fantastic - just across the road is the beach access to the top of four mile beach, or you can go the other way and do the coastal walk around the top of the peninsular. It is also just a few hundred meters from town so easy to wander in for a bite to eat or a drink at any of the many pubs & restaurants. Parking was a breeze as there is street parking right in front of a carpark as well. We'll definitely be back.

Nothing.

Excellent location right across from the beach and the main strip of shops. Great pool and the apartment was large and spacious for our family. Apartment was nice and cool despite the warm weather. Loved having a washer and drier especially for kids clothes.

If travelling with a small baby I recommend taking your own portacot or hiring a bassinet. Main bedroom can get a bit hot compared to the rest of the house as the aircon doesn’t really reach there as much.

Location, location, location. Across the road from Four Mile beach and literally on the quiet end of Macrossan Street. Walking distance to cafes, hotels, restaurants, shops, the wharf, parks for the kids. Apartment was very clean, fully equipped & air conditioned.

The pool lacked a bit of ambiance. Quite a few steps up to the apartment. Apartment 11 had 3 small bedrooms but made up for it with an extra large kitchen/lounge/verandah area.

The location was fantastic. The apartment was huge, we were in the deluxe 3 bedroom apt and it had everything including a full kitchen, 3 huge bedrooms, two bathrooms, 2 sun loungers, a huge wrap around balcony which we loved spending the afternoons on! The apartment was across the road from the beach and around the corner from the main street of Port Douglas. We loved walking to the marina every night. We had a secure undercover parking spot for our rental car underneath. We loved using the pram and sand toys available to us. The markets on Sunday were just lovely. The pool was ok.

The pool could have done with a bit of a revamp. The beds were a little hard. We also would have loved some fly screens on the windows so that we could open a window without letting in flies, but it was ok we had the windows closed and fans on (it just would have been awesome to have the windows open to hear the waves of the ocean at night). The pool was ok, but you can also use the other resort pools if you need more space.

All was excellent - pool area needed new umbrellas but this happened while we were there.

Airconditioning was set at 22 which was a little too cold at night but there was a sign to say not to touch the settings. Would have liked it higher at night as it was a little cold. Also could have had more cutlery. If it was a full house, it would have been annoying.

The location overlooking the beach was amazing. The balcony in unit 5 had a great view and the breeze from the beach kept the apartment cool. The living space was massive and light and bright. The bed very comfortable and the kitchen was fully functional. A really enjoyable place to stay.

Pool was starting to show signs of age.

Our family of 5 (parents & 3 college kids) stayed 3 nights. It was excellent! The owner & staff were friendly & helpful, the location was across from the beach and a few mins walk to restaurants, and the apartment was spacious and beautiful! We would definitely stay here again.

The property was clean, spacious and in a fantastic location. It was close to shops and restaurants and one minute walk from the beach. Beds were very comfortable.

Only a few minor things such as two lights not working and the tv remote needed the batteries replaced.

Loved the spacious size of the apartment, Bedrooms & Living area and the location was superb. Kitchen was great, plenty of utensils, upper level outlook was really good and the showers were a delight.

Living area furniture is a bit dated as is the flooring.

Fantastic location near the beach and the main street. Has a large pool as well as a toddler pool. Well-equipped kitchen and spacious main bedroom, bathrooms and living area. Very well maintained. Owner/managers were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to any families visiting Port Douglas!
