    The air con is a bit noisy for sleeping but the fan helps keep cool without the AC over night

    Lovely self contained studio inside a bigger hotel. The room is modern, comfortable and very well equipped. It has the convenience of the hotel facilities like the pool and laundry facilities too. Really close to the restaurants and shops in town and lots of local recommendations left by the host

    No face washers provided, but that's minimal!

    We loved our stay here for 3 nights. The apartment is clean and comfortable, the balcony a bonus and the location was stunning, being walking distance to the whole of Port Douglas shopping, eating, harbour, beach and walks. Perfect

    Hosts were lovely and very friendly and helpful, with clear instructions for checking in. So much thought had been put into the arrival with lovely touches like music playing and nice lighting and aromas in the room. It was a very relaxing place to stay. The location was great right near the main centre and there was plenty of on street parking,

    The pillows were slightly too high for my own personal preference but this is totally a me thing.

    The location was PERFECT. One street back from the Main Street in port Douglas but still within walking distance of everything - all the shops, restaurants and the beach. The pool was lovely to cool off for an afternoon or an evening dip. Courtney was extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations and communication in the lead up to and the start & end of our stay!

    Only minor fault which didn't effect our stay was the air con unit is pretty loud when trying to sleep

    Everything was to a very high standard, you can tell a lot of time and thought has gone into the property. Tastefully done and immaculately clean. Host very responsive and informative

    Rather noisy air con but we mostly had it on when we were out. Some items such as glasses/ crockery out of reach for me, but luckily my husband is tall!

    Lovely and compact, cool, loved the ceiling fan at night time. Very comfortable bed. Excellent information from host. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay

    Lovely apartment in a block of apartments with a reception out front very close to the town centre - a short walk to town and the marina. Excellent location. Lovely balcony and pool. There’s access to a communal laundry but you need 6 $1 coins for the washing machine and the same for the dryer (from memory). We didn’t have coins but had some cash that the receptionist changed for us. Really can’t fault anything, it was lovely and great friendly communication from Courtenay!
