p a l m h o u s e • luxury beachside getaway

GregRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Our accommodation was absolutely amazing. Truly the description and photos do not really reflect the quality of the home.Of all the Airbnb’s we have stayed in over a thirty year period this would have to have been the most amazing. Of particular note was the communication and support that we received. We experienced a problem with the barbecue supplied and within minutes of reporting the issue we received a sincere apology with a technician to resolve the problem immediately. Never have we experienced this level of customer support and quality service.I can only recommend this location. The home is fantastic and the level of customer service is beyond amazing!A massive thank you to the team!

The Gorgeous Tree House

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Absolutely stunning treehouse in beautiful Trinity beach. The location was fabulous for a trip to Cairns. The house was just divine and looked better than expected from the pictures. The garden was magnificent and it was just the perfect place to stay for a tropical holiday in relaxing surroundings. Would highly recommend this property and would love to return one day. Carmen was very helpful and generously offered earlier check in and check out if required which was greatly appreciated.

The Artists' Beach House, on the beach path

DeniseRating, 5 stars5 months ago
The house was perfect for our family of eleven. Morning walks to the beach, swimming in the pool, and the sounds of the tropical birds were very enjoyable for someone from Texas. A visit to Korunda Village, Baron Falls, Four Mile Beach, and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef were easily accessible and enjoyed by all. I would recommend this beautiful home to anybody for a wonderful holiday!

Lagoon Pool - Stylish - Space

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The apartment was exactly as described, it is modern, well designed and appointed, very stylish and with a lovely "lagoon" pool. Located 4.2 Km from the centre of Port Douglas, the main shopping and dining precinct, Macrossan Street. The apartment is, however, an easy, short walk to beautiful Four Mile beach away from the busiest stretch nearer to the centre of town. It is walkable on well maintained level footpaths for keen walkers and shuttle buses are easy and stop very close by the apartment if a one way walk is preferable. Very short drive into town. Highly recommended.

Daintree Seascapes Rainforest Retreat

MarinaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Thank you for an unforgettable stay, Jillian! Seascapes was such a peaceful place to be and my partner and I felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. I really appreciated all the little touches of home that you have made throughout the house. I had the best sleep of my life with the fresh air and soothing sounds of the rainforest, and it was just lovely to feel so isolated yet a short drive from some great attractions in the Daintree. Also, I need to buy myself a hammock now! I could have stayed in that hammock on the verandah with the ocean view for days on end haha. Thank you again for providing a welcome escape to nature.

🌴☀️ Reef Nest - Pool resort tropical perfection

SuzanneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very simple place near town. The reception desk was great. Beds were very soft but comfortable. Kitchen decently stocked. Make sure to bring paper towels and laundry soap. The pools were nice. Easy to find. The tub was wonderful. I do wish the table had sat all three of us for a meal. And that the trash bags didn’t rip so easily. Great for the affordable cost.

3 Bedroom KJ Cottage- Close to CBD

AmyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Qui & Kevin were great to deal with, they provided all required info before we arrived which made check-in super easy. The house was exactly as expected/pictured and had everything we needed. The location was very handy, we had a car so most places were a short drive away, but you can easily walk into the CBD from the house. Great experience and will definitely try to stay again if I’m ever in the area.

Tropical Oasis

RoslynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Had a wonderful stay in Kristina’s home. Everything you could want for a holiday in Cairns with the family. Very clean,quiet surroundings, comfortable beds, good shower pressure, and lots of things supplied in the kitchen with a big fridge.The stand out for my family was the HEATED POOL and outside area, we spent most days in the pool and sitting outside in the undercover area. It’s close enough to Cairns, Trinity beach and Palm Cove but in a quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend this lovely house thanks Kristina for a wonderful stay.

Melissa’s place was everything it said it was! Your own private pool, beautiful views & modern bathrooms. A full size fridge, most appliances & a BBQ to make it feel very homely.

Your guide to Port Douglas

All About Port Douglas

The laid-back Port Douglas on the far northeastern coast of Queensland is a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. This tropical Australian town boasts balmy weather, superb dining, and easy access to some of the country’s most renowned natural features.

Spend the day sailing or snorkeling the world’s most impressive coral reef system, or winding your way through Mossman Gorge and the oldest surviving tropical rainforest. Swim in the calm waters of Four Mile Beach or simply take some time out to relax at one of the town’s many wellness spas. In the evening, you can wander down to the grassy area at Port Douglas’s shorefront to watch the sunset over the Coral Sea or enjoy the day’s catch at one of the town’s fine-dining restaurants.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Port Douglas

Port Douglas has a tropical climate, which means it has two distinct seasons: wet and dry. It also has warm temperatures year round. The wet season runs from November until April, and brings humid weather and significant amounts of rain, especially in the morning and evening. The dry season runs from May until October and brings warmer weather. This is generally the best time for exploring the outdoors and enjoying Port Douglas’s renowned outdoor dining.

If you’re planning on swimming at the region’s beaches or visiting the Great Barrier Reef, be aware that the wet season can also bring box jellyfish to the waters off Far North Queensland. When booking Port Douglas house rentals at this time of year, be sure to seek advice from local experts before taking a dip.


Top things to do in Port Douglas

The Great Barrier Reef

The world’s largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef, supports incredibly diverse marine life and has more than 3,000 coral cays and reef systems. There are all kinds of ways to discover the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas. You can snorkel off the beach at the Low Isles just offshore or sail to the outer sections of the reef. If you prefer to stay on dry land, take a sightseeing road trip along the Great Barrier Reef Drive, which runs for 87 miles along the coast from Palm Cove to Cape Tribulation.

Daintree Rainforest

The World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest is the oldest rainforest in the world, and one of Australia’s most spectacular and diverse natural destinations. It’s home to soaring waterfalls, mountain ranges, lagoons, and dramatic gorges. Cruise down winding rivers, past countless species of birds as well as crocodiles in their natural habitat, and learn about the history of this unique part of the world from its traditional custodians, the Kuku Yalanji people.

Port Douglas Markets

This market is held every Sunday morning on the Port Douglas waterfront in a grassy park framed by palm trees. The market is a popular meeting spot where you can pick up interesting locally made wares, including colorful arts and crafts, handcrafted jewelry, and clothes, as well as delicious street food and local produce.
