From the minute we arrived the staff were so welcoming & helpful. They even supplied everything you could need for the beach (1 min to beach), including Eskies, towels, sun loungers, trolley & beach chairs. The apartment had all amenities you could wish for self catering & there are plenty of restaurants & bars within easy reach. I will return, it's just a gem you love to find & return. Thankyou to Brad & the girls fabulous stay

We had a 1 bedroom apartment on the 1st floor which was really well equipped. It was lovely to have a coffee machine with pods! The staff are really lovely and helpful. this is our 2nd stay here. We have stayed at various places in Port Douglas, but this is by far the best in our opinion.
