Cassowary accommodation from AU$175

Great stay!

Our family stayed at Silkari Lagoons in Port Douglas recently and overall had a very enjoyable time. The setting is surrounded by lush gardens, lagoon-style pools (six of them), and relaxing BBQ areas make it feels like a tropical resort. The room was spacious, we had a dual key 3 bedroom, it was well‑equipped with a kitchenette and laundry facilities, which was really handy. The staff were warm and helpful, especially with tour suggestions and local info. Cleanliness was good; common areas were well-maintained. There are a few things potential guests should be aware of: some of the swim‑out or swim‑in rooms may end up in shadow depending on the orientation, which can affect sun exposure at the pool or balcony. Also, the distance from the main shops and restaurants means having a car helps, or you’ll rely on transport.

Beautiful pools, the water was warm with so much space for everyone to enjoy. The property is huge however and it’s a fair way to walk from the room to anywhere really. It would also be nicer if there were more things for the kids to do and evening activities to make it more lively.
