Carnivale' in Port Douglas. Sounds like a good idea, but where to stay? You need to be close to the action, far enough away from the noise, comfortable, but have a respect for cost and have a pool that's not an afterthought. Here it is The Port Douglas Retreat. Run by Joyce and David, it's as if you are their... More

Our shuttles had been pre arranged to take us from cairns to the retreat so no issues at all on getting there. But as we arrived at the... More

All our beds are 'king zip' these are two large singles zipped up (concealed zips) and have a mattress pad/topper placed over the top... More

We were pleased with our choice and found the Retreat to be an excellent place to chill out. The Retreat is close to the centre of Port Douglas and the Marina. Lovely couple who keep the site, and the rooms, very clean. A very good pool, deep in parts, with BBQ area adjoining. Ideal site for couples rather than families

We chose to stay in Port Douglas Retreat based on location and also the feedback given regarding the hosts, David and Joyce. We arrived late and there was an envelope with all the information required to get settled into our room quickly. The room itself was very pleasant, comfortable bed, A/C with a overhead fan and a nice wee balcony.... More

We were very satisfied with our recent stay at the Port Douglas Retreat. The location is great. 2 blocks from the Main Street, 2 blocks from the pier (where the dive/snorkel boats depart), and 3 blocks from the beach. The service was very nice and it was easy to book tours at the front desk. The pool is bigger than... More

Port Douglas Retreat is a magnificent place to stay. Location is excellent - 2 blocks from the beach, the marina and the main street. The pool is divine and the gardens create a beautiful tropical paradise. The Managers, David and Joyce, will assist you with your holiday needs. Great value and highly recommended. Garry and Jennie

This is perfect for couples. A smaller and generally quieter resort that has everything you could need for your stay in Port Douglas. Very friendly, helpful and considerate hosts ( 10/10, take a bow team ). Generally clean and tidy rooms with a well equiped kitchenette area. Comfortable beds. Taking the green season prices we paid, this was very good... More
