I had a private room with bathroom for 1 night stay on my way back from a tour up to Cape Tribulation and the rainforest, got a good deal booking it within the Cape Trib tour. Everything else in town was either booked up or way too expensive - Port Douglas is not a cheap place, but it's well-worth the... More

Me and two friend turned up to the dirtiest hostel you could think of! We went into the first room to a smell that would Knock a dead dog sick, As we left the room the door lock broke and we were unable to access the room, we went to reception to complain and the gormless man behind the desk...

We stayed for four nights at the parrotfish and had a fantastic time. The accommodation was clean and to a good standard for a hostel. Mick gave us a whole bunch of advice when we checked in about things to do, weather conditions / best time to go onto the reef - he also helped me find a good company... More

Bed bug tuesdays? Floor cleaning Mondays... Both of which weren't noticeably valid... Location is good, but I'd point you elsewhere for a more comfortable nights sleep. Seems you can get cheaper accomodation on wotif.com these days? Better than a hostel and cheaper.

I loved Parrotfish. Stayed for 2 nights. They gave me 2 free nights when I booked my excursions with them. The staff was so helpful. Tod was especially kind and helpful; definitely the best hostel worker I've ever met. The hostel is only a block from the main street. There is free wifi and a nice swimming pool which was... More

We spent 2 nights there on a rainy week-end... had a great time though, nice staff, local beers, table tennis and sofas to read various books left there by travellers. Really enjoyed it! Port Douglas being quite a posh little town, was nice to chill there.

Stayed 3 nights based on a local's recommendation. Booked a private room which was a large family room. Clean w/ ac. Had a very enjoyable time with the people working at the hostel. Very Friendly staff working at the Parrotfish w/exception of surly smile-less owner. Todd at reception made great arrangements and recommendations for my on going trip to cairns... More

I stayed there for 1 month while working at the Wildlife Habitat. It is ideally located! Walking distance from the center but far enough not to hear anything, and 5 minutes to the beach, exactly where you can swim (stingers season). There's free wifi everywhere around reception and the pool area, and free access to computers. There's also free breakfast... More

Very nice place (I loved the breakfest, TV and pool areas). The free breakfast and wifi is a great added value (don't expect too much of the breakfast but the fruit salad is really nice)/ I had an ensuite when I paid only for a basic 6-girl dorm. The rooms are OK for a backpacker. The location is ideal (5-minute... More
