Very centrally located apartment right on 4 mile beach. 2 good sized bedrooms, both with ensuites - perfect for 2 couples. Good sized living space with large balcony. Large parking bay. Peaceful area at night. Right opposite the Surf Life Saving Club and Surfy's Bar & Restaurant which is good value for money with great views of the beach. Loved having laundry facilities in the apartment. Very near to restaurants & supermarket. Marina is walkable 15 mins away. The pool and hot tub area is very nice. New bbq was installed while we were there. The general areas within the apartment were clean and tidy but window frames/sills were a bit dusty - did not affect our enjoyment of the space and area.

Great spot. Easy to walk to Four Mile Beach and the Main Street in Port Douglas. The unit was a little rundown and in need of a renovation. Some of the towels had black marks on them too (maybe a problem with the washing machine?!?!).The pool facilities and gardens were well maintained. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Point to note…there is a water area being built directly opposite. It could be noisy during construction but would be a great area for kids once completed.

Apartment good size with everything needed. Some maintenance required, rain shower broken, outdoor sofa stained. Room was not cleaned well, I had to clean on arrival. The location is great, short walk to Macrossan Street. We were on top floor, no lifts so bit of work with suitcases.
