Serenity Now
Very special property - very private, serene and remote with easy access via shuttle to Port Douglas should you desire a bit more action. Recommend going in the hotter months as the property is shaded by lush foliage offering the opportunity to remain outdoors whilst the temperatures are high.

8/10 Very good

It was sparkling clean and quiet. We enjoyed exploring the two beautiful beaches. Having breakfast with that spectacular view was wonderful. I would like to see bathroom products that were made in Australia and in refillable dispenses rather than products made in China in throwaway plastic.

Good base to explore Port Douglas and further north. Cottages spread around sprawling and hilly property; which means walking to reception and restaurant can be tricky. Very friendly buggy service available.

Highly recommended. This is a true eco-resort with wonderful aspect, layout and views. You are literally surrounded by natural beauty. The individual bungalows are amazing - we had a Coral Sea Room which had a spectacular view from the balcony. Staff were very friendly and service oriented and the beach picnic was a highlight.
