Book Port Douglas Hotel Accommodation as Low as AU$117

Just a fishing village? Not anymore! Well, you can definitely still toss a pole in the water and catch your dinner, but if lounging on the beach or spotting local wildlife is more your style, Port Douglas is just the ticket. With boutique shops, gourmet restaurants, and fine wines too, Port Douglas has blossomed into a sophisticated, relaxing alternative to Cairns. Like that time you turned your boring old lawn into an elegant European-style garden. Well, you had a dream about doing that, anyway.

Hey, who needs a garden when you have the palm-fringed beaches of Port Douglas? Pack your snorkel and scuba gear, because you’ll be just a few kilometres from the underwater flora and fauna of the Great Barrier Reef. Bring a waterproof camera, too, and maybe you’ll get to snap some shots of the rich and famous when they tie up their 12-bedroom mega-yachts at Reef Marina. Hey, our hotels in Port Douglas are almost as cool.
