We stayed at Nautilus Holiday Apartments just before our wedding in Port Douglas and also put all our guests in the same building. I must say that the rooms were very spacious, very clean and contained everything we needed. The price was excellent and the service was second to none! There was not one guest that didn't enjoy their stay and of those who said they would go back to Port Douglas, all said that they would stay back at Nautilus Holiday Apartments.
A++++++

We have just spent 10 great days at Nautilus - and that was despite the weather being cooler and windier than we'd hoped! We stayed with another couple in a 2 bed/ 2 bath (1 an ensuite) apartment on the third (top) floor. It was perfect beach accommodation - nothing flash, but really comfortable and in an excellent location. The apartments are a gentle 10 stroll from the main street of Port Douglas (or there's a local bus), but even better they are only 3 minutes to direct access to the 4 Mile Beach - so it was really easy to go up and back from the beach several times a day - especially when the weather was changeable! If the beach was a bit windy, then the pool at the apartments offered both sun throughout the day and shelter too. You could cook all your meals, but we went out every night - after eating in the main town for several nights, we discovered that the 2 best kept secrets were only 2 minutes walk from the apartments - for great value, really good quality food, head to Port O'Call which is an above average backpackers with open dining for the public. Or for really good seafood, fish and kangaroo, we had 2 fabulous meals at Gone Bananas - it sounds a little mad, but the food was the best we had; great cocktails, desserts and liqueur coffees too. Matt & Ange were great hosts and always happy to answer questions. We took their recommendation for a 1 day deluxe safari to the Daintree & Cape Tribulation & it was fabulous. Ask for an apartment on the upper floor if possible, and facing towards town (they get the most sun), and if you're highly sensitive to noise, then consider asking for an apartment without direct frontage to the road. Enjoy!

Fabulous location to beach and town. Fantastic 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment which was great for the 4 of us staying. Matt and Ange are a lovely couple that could never do enough for us. So easy to find out about all the things we could do, have them booked for us, and pay at the end of our stay, which was the most convenient way to do it. Everything that was recommended and booked was first rate!!!! Wonderful to have books to read!!!!! Will definately be returning!!!

After a mix-up with bookings, we arrived in Port Douglas with nowhere to stay. The local tourist info office located an apartment for us at "Nautilus" - what a relief! The apartment is a short stroll from the beach and the main street. We met the owners, Matt and Ange, and a quick inspection revealed a clean, modern and well-equipped apartment, big enough for the 5 of us.

I was so impressed with the cheerful and helpful owners that I was motivated to write this review. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, giving us advice on local attractions, restaurants and tours. Although we only stayed 3 nights we managed to pack in a great deal, including an excellent snorkelling trip aboard the Calypso (helpfully booked for us by Ange).

I thoroughly recommend the Nautilus Holiday Apartments to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable base from which to explore Port Douglas and surrounding areas.
