Lido Grande | Swim-out with Stunning Views
Bec’s place was perfect for a family catch up. The house has plenty of space and the pool from the terrace was perfect to relax. The house was very well equipped with everything needed. Clean on arrival and comfy beds. Would definitely recommend to others and wouldn’t hesitate in rebooking with Bec if we headed back.

Sea La Villa, Port Douglas
We had a wonderful stay at Kerry's place. Nice walk to Macrossan St shops via the beach, 5 minute drive to the marina. Kitchen stocked with essentials like oil and salt.

Bali Inspired Villa with Plunge Pool
Fabulous 6 star place. Just like Bali with living and sleeping pods surrounded by fish pons, pools and lush tropical vegetation. Plunge pool in back private with surrounding palms and waterfall. Everything was luxury and clean. Lots of kitchen and bar things. Loved the outdoor shower in the master enclosed in it's own little garden. Strong air conditioning. It was pouring with rain our few days in the area and we were so glad we could hunker down in such a wonderful place.

Villa Vei (With Heated Pool*)
If I could give this property a 6 star review, I would! The AirBnB is clean, very well furnished and comes with all essential amenities to make it a wonderful stay. Location is great too, within 10 mins of everything Palm Cove. Fab is a very responsive host, proactively looking to help with any of our needs. This has to be one of the best (if not the best!) AirBnB I’ve stayed at. Very very well done!

Port Douglas~Hidden Gem~Trezise Cottage in Mowbray
We had such an amazing time here, the place was so well presented and such high quality. We loved spending time outside and using the pool, the location is stunning...and of course our daily visits from Jessie! Thank you so much, we couldn't recommend more

Stunning 2-3 Bed Penthouse Gorgeous Ocean Views
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Glenis and Peter’s holiday apartment in Trinity beach. The unit is spacious with comfortable bed and furniture. The patio was great to watch the sunrise and sunset. The unit was well appointed with everything you need to make a great holiday. You are only steps away from beautiful trinity beach with plenty of walkable restaurants and convenience stores. I could go on and on. This was definitely one of my wife and mine favorite airbnbs we’ve stayed in and we travel a lot. You’ll feel right at home with responsive and friendly hosts. We will absolutely be back to stay!! Thank you Glenis and Peter for a wonderful stay. Cheers!

The Jungles of Kewarra Beach
Will was always contactable and forthcoming with information regarding our stay. The house was in a quiet residential area and the neighbours were friendly. The kids loved the pool and the layout of the bedrooms is great for a large family or multiple families (such as ours). We really enjoyed our stay at Will's place.

Alamanda Cottage Port Douglas w Ocean Views & Pool
Beautiful home! Vicki was a great host! She met us at the house to make sure we were familiar with everything at her home! She also had wine, cheese, bread and milk for us on arrival! One of the best hosts and must beautiful homes we have been to on Airbnb! Would definitely stay here again!!

Your guide to Port Douglas
All About Port Douglas
Even without its top-drawer location in the north of Queensland, with the world-famous Great Barrier Reef on one side and Daintree Rainforest on the other, Port Douglas would still have no problem attracting visitors to its alabaster sandy shores. The area’s restricted build height makes it postcard perfect, with almost every beachfront holiday house in Port Douglas hidden under the shade of a souring beach palm, with the flip-flop-ready soft sand stretching out to the aquamarine water beyond. And that’s without mentioning the town’s world-class marina, lush rainforests, and the crystal creeks of Mossman Gorge.
The range of activities in the area reads like a lifelong bucket list, with world-class snorkelling and diving, hot-air ballooning, sunset sailing, rainforest and river tours, and four-wheel-drive safaris all on offer. Few miss out on a visit to the Great Barrier Reef, and there is no shortage of ways to experience this great natural wonder of the world.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Port Douglas
With warm temperatures and fairly minimal weather fluctuations, holiday rentals in Port Douglas are popular year-round. The busiest time of year to visit the area is from July to September, when the weather is cooler but still warm enough for those looking to avoid the country’s colder winter temperatures. January to March are the hottest and most humid months, when the higher rainfall makes for perfect diving conditions. Autumn is popular for its events, including a five-day sailing regatta and the town’s biggest event of the year, the Port Douglas Carnivale, when music and dancing fill the streets. October to December can see a tiny bit more rainfall, but the Port Shorts Film Festival in October is a great way to avoid the showers.
Top things to do in Port Douglas
Mossman Gorge
Take a bush walk through the rainforest at Mossman Gorge. The Kuku Yalanji are the original inhabitants of the land. Today they offer guided “dreamtime walks” where you can learn more about their local lores and sacred ceremonies. Freshwater swimming holes marked out by distinctive granite boulders make refreshing oases along the way.
Craft markets
Wednesdays and Sundays are great days to explore the town and peruse the weekly craft markets that pop up at the marina on Wednesday afternoons and at Rex Smeal Park on Sundays. Expect to find buskers, entertainers, street-food stalls, massage tents, and a wide range of local arts and crafts, fashion, and jewellery.
Steam Railway
The area’s historic, coal-fired trains offer daily excursions for those looking to immerse themselves in the nostalgic age of steam locomotion. The railway winds its way up the Mowbray Valley from the Crystalbrook Marina in Port Douglas to St. Crispin’s Station, where you can visit the local mangroves and spot resident crocodiles in their natural habitat.
