“Wonderful service and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

Just got finish with a 4 day stay in the 2 bedroom penthouse apartment. The location is in the middle of town close to everything. John and carolyne booked all of our excursions and dining reservations and I highly recommend you letting them do all your bookings. They really know what they are doing. We did the karranda railroad, sky rail and a day trip snorkeling and because of their knowledge we had a great days. Even let us know where to watch the fireworks. Definitely go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a fabulous one.

Many thanks for your review.

We do encourage our guests to take the uncertainty out of booking tours etc as we have personal experience with virtually all options in Port Douglas and we are totally independent of all operators.

Again, many thanks for the review.

“Its convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Yes, I agree with the other reviewers that it it is a good place to stay. John has been specially helpful and provided a personal touch and guidance in planning the trip.
It should be clearly considered as a convenient and comfortable place to stay - being close to facilities: supermarket, restaurants etc.
However, my personal viewpoint is that the "luxury" attribute perhaps is a bit misnomer. Also, one should be aware that there is no lift or elevator but one has to use stairs. I believe the management must have mentioned this on their website. If it is there, it appears to be not easily visible and should be made more visible -- as it could be an important issue for many.

I am not aware of the tarriff but I believe it would be same as some of the resorts which would be more luxurious than this. They would have more open space around, I imagine.
At the end, it depends on travellers what they are looking for.

Room Tip: If you are looking for convenience - this is good one. check for the comparative pricing though.

Many thanks for your feedback.

As with most accommodation houses in Port Douglas, there is no lift at Saltwater and we are very careful to ensure that guests are aware of this before they book whether it be on line or by phone. All websites that Saltwater is listed on have this fact well documented however this fact may not always be passed on by the person who made the booking to others in the travelling party.

We have looked at many alternaitves to put in a lift/ dumb waiter in but to retrofit one is too expensive.

As for the writer's comments on luxury or not, we will let the readers judge for themselves by reading other reviews.

“The best that port has to offer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

Just recently stayed for the 4th time at the Saltwater Luxury apartments in Port Douglas. I must say that the service and apartments are second to none, highly recommend for anyone whether it be singles, couples or families, the location is the main drawcard. Will be back.

“Overall fantastic everything!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012 via mobile

The location of the apartments is great as it is on the main street and a 5 min walk from just about anything. The apartments are clean and well maintained and John and Carolyn are so very nice and helpful with everything - from recommending restaurants and tours to organizing shuttles. We have been back three times already and can't wait for our next stay. Also great value for you money!

“Perfect apartment to enjoy Port Douglas and Great Barrier Reef”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

How nice to find an accommodation that lives up to expectations, and more. This facility was impeccably clean with lovely furnishings including a great well stocked kitchen. Best of all, it was located right in the heart of Port Douglas with its quaint shops and terrific bistros. We could not have been happier with our apartment. The managers were even kind enough to return our son's passport and headset, which had been left behind, which was certainly appreciated.
