🌴☀️ Reef Nest - Pool resort tropical perfection

SuzanneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very simple place near town. The reception desk was great. Beds were very soft but comfortable. Kitchen decently stocked. Make sure to bring paper towels and laundry soap. The pools were nice. Easy to find. The tub was wonderful. I do wish the table had sat all three of us for a meal. And that the trash bags didn’t rip so easily. Great for the affordable cost.

Port Douglas Beach House Retreat

VanessaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had an amazing stay at Tanya’s beautiful 4-bedroom home in Port Douglas! The house was spacious, perfect for our family of four (including two teenagers), with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Having two lounge areas was a bonus, and the kitchen was great—it had everything we needed to cook our own meals after long days out. The pool was a highlight! It was exactly like the photos—sparkling clean and so inviting. Tanya gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and local attractions, which we found really helpful. One of our favourite tips was to take a morning walk along the stunning 4 Mile Beach, just a short stroll down the street. The location was ideal, situated on a quiet street but only a 5-minute drive to town. We had a rental car, so it was easy to come and go, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a retreat. We recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped home with a great pool in a quiet, convenient location. Thank you, Tanya.

Bella Cosmo @ 29 : Heart of Port Douglas

JonathanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed for 7 days as a base to tour PD, Daintree and surrounds with a hire car. The apartment is as pictured and was perfect for us. The location is hard to beat - in the centre of town and yet we found no noise issues. Carolyn was super communicative and a good resource for advice on booking trips to the reef. The apartment is part of a Mantra resort complex, which is the pool pictured. (Pool was great temp, well maintained and was usually quiet).

Gratitude Retreat-Private sanctuary, endless views

EmmaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had the most relaxing holiday at Claire’s place that we have ever had! The house was so comfortable, the decks were the perfect place for relaxing and the pool was divine. The wildlife was beautiful to watch and apart from a night at Nautilus for dinner in Port Douglas one night we decided to cook at home every night. The kitchen is so well kitted out and a cooks dream. Thank you Claire! We will be back!

Lagoon Pool - Stylish - Space

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The apartment was exactly as described, it is modern, well designed and appointed, very stylish and with a lovely "lagoon" pool. Located 4.2 Km from the centre of Port Douglas, the main shopping and dining precinct, Macrossan Street. The apartment is, however, an easy, short walk to beautiful Four Mile beach away from the busiest stretch nearer to the centre of town. It is walkable on well maintained level footpaths for keen walkers and shuttle buses are easy and stop very close by the apartment if a one way walk is preferable. Very short drive into town. Highly recommended.

The Posh Penthouse With Rooftop Oasis*Parking*WIFI

PeterRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The apartment is as described - and more. The living area, bedrooms and kitchen were clean and very comfortable. The view from the balcony is nice and the double glazing helped eliminate any noise from the children enjoying the very, very large pool that winds throughout the resort. The winner for us was the large, private upper deck which featured the spa, sun lounge area, sitting / dining area and an outdoor kitchen with 'fridge, basin and BBQ. We made extensive use of the BBQ which had a backup gas bottle and a full set of implements. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials and both glass and plastic glasses. While the apartment is a fair way out of the Port Douglas township, the local shuttle bus arrived quickly and dropped us wherever we wanted to go in town. The longest wait was 8 minutes and the return fare is a reasonable $15pp. The Pullman Sea Temple resort is showing its age although lots of cleaning and maintenance work was underway during our stay.

Your guide to Port Douglas

All About Port Douglas

The laid-back Port Douglas on the far northeastern coast of Queensland is a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. This tropical Australian town boasts balmy weather, superb dining, and easy access to some of the country’s most renowned natural features.

Spend the day sailing or snorkeling the world’s most impressive coral reef system, or winding your way through Mossman Gorge and the oldest surviving tropical rainforest. Swim in the calm waters of Four Mile Beach or simply take some time out to relax at one of the town’s many wellness spas. In the evening, you can wander down to the grassy area at Port Douglas’s shorefront to watch the sunset over the Coral Sea or enjoy the day’s catch at one of the town’s fine-dining restaurants.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Port Douglas

Port Douglas has a tropical climate, which means it has two distinct seasons: wet and dry. It also has warm temperatures year round. The wet season runs from November until April, and brings humid weather and significant amounts of rain, especially in the morning and evening. The dry season runs from May until October and brings warmer weather. This is generally the best time for exploring the outdoors and enjoying Port Douglas’s renowned outdoor dining.

If you’re planning on swimming at the region’s beaches or visiting the Great Barrier Reef, be aware that the wet season can also bring box jellyfish to the waters off Far North Queensland. When booking Port Douglas house rentals at this time of year, be sure to seek advice from local experts before taking a dip.
