The room we had was very run down and tired. There were tiles that were cracked and even lifting in parts. The lounge furniture and outdoor furniture was worn out. Apartment was very spacious and its position is perfect for any visit to Port Douglas being an easy walking distance to anywhere you want to visit while in town. Pool was kept at a really nice temperature for ease of getting in. Has got a lot of potential for being an amazing place to stay but the rooms are in dire need of a refurb before I would be interested in staying here again.

Mowbray by the sea is in a great location; just a street down from the Esplanade and beach, close to shops and restaurants. The property is well managed, clean and in good condition. The two bedroom apartment was spacious. The manager, Martin, was very helpful. He even gave us a lift to Ellis Beach when other modes of transport were not available.

The pool area was great, especially for kids as it was not too deep, and the big spa was also good. Rooms were spacious with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Big fridge which was good for self catering requirements.
