Port Douglas accommodation from AU$159

• Peninsula Boutique Hotel Port Douglas is an adults-only getaway right on the esplanade. It features several gorgeous pools with waterfall features for outdoor relaxing, a full-service spa, and soaking tubs in every room. There’s a restaurant, coffee shop, and bar on-site to make sure you’re fully pampered.
• Enjoy the sound of the sea at the waterfront Reef House Palm Cover MGallery by Sofitel. Upgrade your holiday to the veranda spa suite for ultimate relaxation or the 2 bedroom suite if you’re travelling with a group. Dine at the restaurant, float in the secluded pool, get a massage or facial at the full-service spa, or take advantage of the free bicycle rentals and cruise down the esplanade.

• Private beach, anyone? The oceanfront Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas has 12 swimming pools, so kids (or parents) can choose where to splash each day. Cribs, rollaway beds, and babysitting are all available here (for a fee). A buffet breakfast, restaurant, coffee shop, and 24-hour room service make this an accommodation deal sure to keep everyone happy.
• At Cayman Villas, you can choose from 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, or 3 bedroom villas with kitchens to cook for the family. Cribs and rollaway beds are available, and little ones can play in the children’s pool. Parents who need an evening away can also call the front desk to make babysitting arrangements.

Most visitors either book a holiday close to the town centre or down along Four Mile Beach. If you’re keen to eat out and do some shopping, there are some great hotels around Macrossan Street (the main strip). If you’re seeking that luxe beachside getaway, you won’t mind basing yourself a bit further south. Deciding on a hotel is never easy — lucky Wotif has millions of trusted reviews to make the job easier.

Less than an hour’s drive separates these two jewels of Tropical North Queensland, and both offer some awesome places to stay. If shopping, food and nightlife are what you’re chasing, Port Douglas might be the better choice. Dreaming of a quieter escape? Palm Cove is hard to beat. One other thing to keep in mind — tours to the Great Barrier Reef operate directly from Port Douglas or Cairns. You’ll need to hop on a short shuttle to either one if you stay in Palm Cove. Wherever you decide to set up camp, you can rest easy knowing you’ll always get the best deal with Wotif.

Our Price Promise means you can rest easy knowing you’re getting the best deal around. We’ve got local experts that know how Aussies like to travel, and they have plenty of tips on how to get the most out of your holiday.
