It is 1 minutes walk away from the main drag and the owners were really friendly and helpful and full of good advice.

We stayed here from 16th to 17th of April. Unfortunately just for one night, as we would have loved to stay much longer. On our search for a Motel we stopped here and met the new owner, who was so friendly and showed us around. He explained how they refurbished the last couple of months and we could see the... More

What a lovely place to stay. The property is still undergoing some renovations by the looks but our room was beautiful and must have been totally refurbished going by previous comments?. Spotlessly clean with beautiful, tropical colours reflecting the wonderful location. Staff are very friendly and went out of their way to help with tour recommendations. We were even able... More

The Port Douglas Motel is an old motel that has been bought to re-furbish. It is cheap by Port Douglas standards. The motel is not far from Macrossan Street, which is the main strip, and is not far from Fourmile Beach. Compared to the cheap motels in Cairns it is pricey. Parking is very tight.

This motel is a bit "vintage" compared to all "luxury" resorts in Port Douglas but this is a really good compromise between the location and the affordable rates. Close to Port Douglas' centre, the 4 mile beach, Daintree Forest, Mossman Gorges, Cape Trib, Cairns and the Reef. Rooms are correct (maybe not as clean as you would expect) and you... More

Very convenient position for main port Douglas pubs and restaurants and just as close to the beach, I think port Douglas is one of the best places in Australia to visit, just don't be scared of a bit of rain , if the weather is nice you can't find a better place on earth for a holiday.

Initially we were allocated Room 1 (bottom of drive way). Although it had a small kitchen,... More

Got to Port Douglas late afternoon and found the location of this place to be very convenient. Till we got inside ! Dirty sheets, dirty bathroom, toilet not sanitised, floor filthy overall, this would have to be one of the worst motels we've ever stayed and they charge $90.00 for all these goodies. Needless to say we hightailed it out... More
