Super clean and comfy with little details to make us feel a bit pampered. Easy access to all town venues and services, restaurants walks and hikes. This place has architectural interest and felt like living in a hug. Made the very rainy week pleasant.
This is our second stay here. We love the flat. It is so well looked after and in great condition. It has a lovely clean balcony overlooking the pool. Close to the town. Thank you
Apartment was extremely well set out with many condiments supplied. Linen was changed on request. Location was sensational very close to shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend to our family and friends.
Cheers Mick & Jo
Holiday apartment was in a great central location. Peter's communication was very prompt. Easy check. Bed was clean and comfortable which was the most important thing to me. Great price compared to other sites with similar listing. Thank you Peter.

Great property, fantastic location!
A perfect place to stay during my week stay in Port Douglas. It has everything you need for the perfect getaway. Nothing was forgotten by the owners and it was great they provided beach towels, salt and pepper, cling wrap - all this things you don't realise you may need on a holiday!
This property is so close to the Main Street and only short walk to the surf club and beach. The whole resort has a lovely feel and the atmosphere makes you feel you're a long way from home.
Peter and Keiko were great to deal with and always very friendly and helpful. I certainly will be in contact when I come to Port Douglas in the future.
Situato in un ottima posizione, tranquilla, ma a due passi dalla via principale piena di negozi.
Il resort hibiscus è splendido. Puoi usufruire della piscina, idromassaggio e barbecue.
Tutto molto pulito.
Per arrivare alla spiaggia stupenda di Port Douglas ci vogliono meno di 10 minuti a piedi.

Hi Pino,
Thanks so much for your review:
"Very cute and comfortable
Located in a great location, quiet, but a stone's throw from the main street full of shops.
The hibiscus resort is splendid. You can use the swimming pool, whirlpool and barbecue.
All very clean.
It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to the beautiful beach of Port Douglas".
All the best, Peter & Keiko

Perfect
What a delightful perch! It was like staying in a beautiful treehouse in a rainforest above a rock fringed pool. The unit was comfortable and met all of our needs. The apartment is sparkling clean. It is well equipped. We never used the television because there is so much to do in Port Douglas. This was our best accommodations over our 3 weeks of travel in Australia.

Central, clean, lovely apartment
We had a wonderful stay in Port Douglas. The apartment was well equipped, nicely furnished and very clean. Marina, beach and shops are just a short stroll away. Peter welcomed us personally on our arrival, which was very lovely and added a personal touch. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent location - great property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside to this apartment was the noise level from the road, specially early in the mornings, but would definitely stay there again.

Brilliant location and hosts
Terrific location - 5 minute walk to the beach and 2 minutes to Macrossan Street. The apartment itself is situated in a well maintained complex and is an ideal size for 2 adults and one child. The mid stay clean was an added bonus. The kitchen area was small but we ate out every night so that didn't bother us too much. The only downside to this apartment was the noise level from the road outside which was most noticeable in the early mornings.

Very comfortable with nice surroundings
THE UNIT:
The unit itself was very nice and had quite good light in the lounge room. Bathroom too had good lighting but a small bath (not that that was a problem for us). The kitchen area was small but, again, had everything we needed apart from an oven. Loved the nice big balcony which was used as a dining area. Everything was clean and nicely decorated. Very relaxed yet comfortable place. Partial pool views. Only slight negative we found was that it can be a bit noisy from delivery trucks in the morning.
COMPLEX:
The complex itself is a lot nicer than any other similarly priced ones we looked at. Very well located, being half way between beach and shops. great place to stay.
HOSTS:
Our hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. We stayed here with our 16 month old and they provided us with the use of a high-chair and port-a-cot (which they had just gone out and purchased brand new). We had also enquired about a blender which they also provided us with so they certainly go out of there way to help out.
STAY AGAIN?
All things being the same, we would definitely stay again. We had spent a lot of time searching for the best accommodation to suite our needs but if we were in the same situation next time then we would skip that and just see if this unit is available again (we are expecting our second child in a few months time so I don't think we will be able so stay I a 1 bedroom next time though).

Wonderful!
This apartment is in the perfect spot: close to the beach, close to the shops and restaurants and still very quiet. I didn't have a car there and I was able to walk everywhere. I loved having the kitchen to make my own meals and then enjoying them on the outdoor patio. The owners take special care of this apartment and keep it very clean. They also met me upon arrival and showed me around the area, which made my stay even better. I highly recommend this property!
