Port Douglas Villas - Reviews and Rates

Port Douglas is defo the richer relation of Cairns - there are lots of lovely boutiques there and pricey restaurants but its really nice with a lovely holiday resort feel to it. We were wreaked the first night so we had dinner in. Friend we met in South America arrived that day too so we arranged to meet them for lunch the next day. We stocked u...

Cairns – Port Douglas – Cooktown – Cairns

Now that we've hit the east coast we feel as if we have lost our travellin’ mojo a bit as this is all familiar territory to us now. We know Cairns quite well after having been here three times now so we don’t feel inclined to do any...

Had a good flight up from Brisbane to Cairns - albiet that the airport train had a slight hitch over signalling at the first station, but we did make it to the airport on time to meet check-in. On arrival at Cairns, we met up with our pre-arranged transport to Port Douglas and got to the hotel in Port Douglas about 1400hrs. Thankfully, tropical ...

Thursday night, we had a "sounds of silence" dinner outside near Ayers Rock (Uluru), under the stars. Friday, we got up and did some hiking around the rock. Saturday ...

Wow, arrived in paradise. what a hotel. Feels like "I am a celebrity get me out of here." bridges everywhere, parrots, a butterflies, hot and really tropical. Big change from going to bed with all my clothes on and a hot water bottle in Brisbane. We checked into our room and headed for the pool, had lunch and a gorgeous bottle of sauvignon blanc...
