We arrived at Balboa by hosts Lynette and Andrew who were the BEST people to have around. They were always helpful, friendly and guided us about fab day trips to do and where to eat etc. We stayed for 7days and loved every bit of our stay. The rooms were bright and airy and immaculately clean. The rooms were all... more

We loved Balboa Apartments. The apartments are spacious and clean and the kitchen is fully contained. All the facilities you ever need when your on holiday. We travelled with our son who is 13 months, and on arrival we had a cot and a high chair supplied by management. They even have a heated outdoor toddler pool. So all families... more

We were very dissapointed when we arrived. The reviews and photos are very misleading for a fourn half star accomodation. This place is an obstacle course for children: stairs everywhere, even from own door to ur apartment. Difficult and inconvenient to get around. Pool is small and shaded. Place seems like it is dead we barely saw anyone there. Furnishings... more

We had a good feeling about this place even before we arrived. Lynette was very friendly and accommodating over the phone and when we arrived she was there to greet us as our car pulled up. Our apartment was excellent and ticked all the right boxes - great location, generous in size, very clean and well equipped for both us... more

We have just returned from 2 weeks at Balboa and highly recommend it. The complex is in a fantastic location, metres from the beach and in the quiet end of the main street. The apartments are huge, well equipped, quiet and spotlessly clean. The decor could be viewed as a little dated (cane lounges etc) but it kind of suits... more

We have always liked the accommodation selected and enjoyed the facilities on offer In 2008, we stayed for the first time at the... more

The Balboa apartments are located just across the road from the beach Garrick street is a quiet street just off the main street of Port Douglas. The apartment was spacious with full kitchen facilities. The outdoor areas are surrounded by lovely gardens and the pool is a very nice place to while away an afternoon when it s hot. We... more

I am a travel agent and have to say that this is one of the best places I have stayed in Port Douglas. We had two 3 bedroom apartments for our stay and were so impressed with the hotel. The apartments are huge, and it is in the BEST location- right opposite the beach, and when travelling with kids, this... more

We have stayed at a number of different hotels over our many visits to Port Douglas. This was our first time at the Balboa and we have already planned the timing of our next stay. The location is excellent - short walk across the road to Four Mile Beach, and an easy stroll up Macrossan Street to the shopping, restaurants,... more
