Port Douglas Accommodation

Port Douglas has evolved from a sleepy fishing village into one of the most sought after holiday destinations in the world. Relaxed lifestyle, spectacular scenery and access to some of Queensland’s most beautiful natural attractions has encouraged discerning growth in this small township. Four Mile Beach, aptly named for the four miles of clean white sand, curves around one side of the township whilst Dickson Inlet with its protected harbour and marina nestles on the other. Still retaining its village atmosphere with wide tree lined streets, no traffic lights or parking meters, Port Douglas has evolved into a sophisticated yet casual holiday destination. Boutiques, a Sunday market, some of Australia’s finest restaurants and friendly locals add to Port’s unique ambience. Located an hour north of Cairns, along one Australia’s most scenic coastal routes, against a backdrop of Rainforest Mountains with a foreground of the Coral Sea, Port Douglas is the perfect base to explore the exceptional World Heritage areas of the Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef. Port Douglas is the closest departure point to the Great Barrier Reef. A unique and diverse ecosystem, this underwater playground is an essential part of a Port Douglas holiday. A range of day trips or charters are available designed to maximize the snorkelling, diving or fishing adventure. One of the few places on earth where the rainforest meets the sea, Cape Tribulation is only a short drive away. This ancient jungle contains exotic wildlife and a diverse range of flora species. Take advantage of local tour guides or self drive to explore this tropical paradise. Nearby Mossman Gorge, the local indigenous community, sugar industry and the Atherton Tablelands are some of the closer attractions. Further afield Cooktown, Bloomfield, Savannah country and the real Australian Outback are also accessible. |
