    Clean, modern apartment that met all our requirements. Good position for Mossman Gorge and Daintree forest. Staff were very friendly.

    The room & bathroom in our opinion was old fashioned and needs updating, we have travelled a great deal, in this day and age a small bath is very 1970’s & the air con on a cable is very impractical when you want to change the temp in the night. Money invested in the property with Aidan&Alex at the helm would guarantee more return business.

    Aidan was the most helpful and flexible host, nothing was too much trouble. A very professional and likeable man. The pool was great, parking easy. Peaceful, loved the ice machine, the apartment was spotless.

    After staying in hotels this little gem was wonderful. We could wash our clothes, use the BBQ area and have a nice family dinner together all alone! It was nice and peaceful. The pool and jacuzzi were lovely! We watched bats flying above all night which was stunning. Little touches like asking us to use a dark wash cloth for makeup removal to keep their whites clean, we thought was such a wonderful idea:) Everything we needed! Even an ice maker. The owners were super helpful too.

    Above all, the staff were incredible and went above and beyond to help us. We had a bit of a nightmare with our trip due to the floods and arrived at our room just 3.5hrs before we were due to check out! Aidan was so kind and helpful in the morning when we saw him, didn’t rush us to get sorted, and gave us loads of advice for our whole trip. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Location is good too. Sadly we didn’t get time to use any other facilities but everything looked lovely.

    inaccessibility to beach towels after 6pm. don’t was hard to be back from a days outing and when preparing for the next day, thinking that you need towels, it wasn’t possible. (and i didn’t want to ring the emergency bell for this). Needed to pay for washing machine, why? 2nd bedroom only had a fan and no air con.

    self contained unit. comfortable to get to, had bbq facilities, swimming pool. Aidan was very helpful in planning our holiday given the restrictions due to the cyclone (although still in Jan there were no crocs!).

    Reception times, if you don’t reach our for coffee they will not refill, and the cooktop could be bigger

    It’s comfortable, accessible, and the staff members are friendly and helpful. I didn’t feel that they’re trying to sell me a tour, rather recommended a wide variety of options. You can cook inside the room which is convenient. Coffee and milk are not refilled daily unless you ask reception before 11:00 am, which can be inconvenient. Also reception is not always open. Appart from that I think our experience there was great and I’d definitely recommend it.

    The accommodation is great if you have transport, if you don't have transport and wanted to be near the centre of Douglas it is a bit of a walk from this location.

    The staff at this accommodation were excellent and the check-in very efficient. The accommodation itself was perfect for our needs. The rooms are large with a good seating area and table and chairs. There was a good kitchen with all we needed and the accommodation had adequate storage and hanging facilities. The beds were good and the bathroom was spacious with a good shower. The owner was particularly helpful and put me in touch with a great guide for a birdwatching trip on the Daintree River. The accommodation has good parking bays outside each room.
