Cascade Links | Port Douglas, Queensland
Our stay was absolutely lovely and was exactly what we hoped for. Everything from check in to checkout was a breeze. Would definitely recommend booking here!

Huge heated pool , minutes walk to the beach
We had a lovely family holiday in Port Douglas! The house is perfect for more than one family - We had the kids stay in the one part of the house with the grandparents on the other side which worked really well. We loved the courtyard in the middle and beautiful big kitchen! Bianca was always available and responsive and she even made a plan to come and assist with some windows we struggled to open. There were also more than enough bath and pool towels which were a big bonus! All in all - a lovely stay and added to our list if we visit Port Douglas again!

Tranquility by the Lake - Luxury Home Port Douglas
The property is exactly as pictured, great house to suit for a large family. The indoor outdoor flow is fantastic for alfresco dining whilst enjoying the large pool. There are so many surrounding restaurants and attractions that are within walking distance which makes it more enjoyable if you don’t want to drive. All the finishing touches ensure you can enjoy a nice meal at home as the kitchen is very well equipped with such ample space. Would highly recommended this house to anyone!

Lagoon Pool - Stylish - Space
Stayed at Bridget’s home for 2 nights in Port Douglas and couldn’t recommend it more! The spacious living room and comfy couches make for the perfect relaxing stay. It is located a short drive from the village and a short walk to Four Mile Beach. Bridget was super friendly and responsive. Thanks for a great stay! 10/10 for this home :)

The Port Douglas Holiday House -4 bedroom in town!
We really enjoyed our stay, the location is fantastic, close to everything. The house is very child friendly, it was great for our toddler.

Villa Coralyah
We had the best stay! The place is perfect for families, providing space to be together and to have your own peace and quiet. The surroundings are lush and the pool area was beautiful, we didn’t want to leave.

Pineapple Pete’s Beach House - 3 min to beach
We couldn’t have been more impressed with this beautiful house. It was exactly what we wanted and everything we needed was available / thought of. The house has so much character but is extremely practical at the same time. It was perfect for us as a group with a small child, as we could stay in the main house and leave the others who didn’t have to get up with the sun in peace while we clanged around in the kitchen. The pool and yard are beautiful and the deck was our favourite place to spend time. We haven’t stayed anywhere where we were so comfortable! The proximity to the beach is a bonus but everywhere in Port is close by so the locations is perfect. We’ll definitely be back!

Port Douglas Beach House Retreat
We had an amazing stay at Tanya’s beautiful 4-bedroom home in Port Douglas! The house was spacious, perfect for our family of four (including two teenagers), with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Having two lounge areas was a bonus, and the kitchen was great—it had everything we needed to cook our own meals after long days out. The pool was a highlight! It was exactly like the photos—sparkling clean and so inviting. Tanya gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and local attractions, which we found really helpful. One of our favourite tips was to take a morning walk along the stunning 4 Mile Beach, just a short stroll down the street. The location was ideal, situated on a quiet street but only a 5-minute drive to town. We had a rental car, so it was easy to come and go, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a retreat. We recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped home with a great pool in a quiet, convenient location. Thank you, Tanya.

Highly recommend! Great location, impeccably clean, and the most spectacular views! Our family of four enjoyed our time in this amazing house.

Rainforest Treehouse Sanctuary - with ocean views
We loved the home! The cockatoos were so fun to watch and enjoy. Our son did a sunrise Timelapse of the mountains and gorgeous skies. We enjoyed having a central location to visit Daintree Rainforest and Fitzroy Island! Such an incredible place!

Absolute Beachfront Family Home
What a wonderful airbnb!!! Perfect for our family, great set up, fully fenced for the dogs and my nephew. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, right across the beach. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a far North Queensland getaway without the Port Douglas hustle, bustle and price tag. Great location 5 minutes to Mossman and only 15 minutes to the centre of Port. Loved the pool and the house set up. Thank you Krystal 😊

La Palma Luxury Retreat With Heated Pool Palm Cove
We had a fantastic stay at Rob’s property! The house was peaceful, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Its location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and shops, making it incredibly convenient. The hosts were wonderful and always responsive, promptly answering all our questions. Although we encountered a couple of minor issues during our stay, they were resolved quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. Overall, this property provided the perfect getaway, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you for a great experience!

The Shack - 2min stroll to beach, lush lawn & pool
This was our second stay at The Shack, and it will not be our last! We love the whole retro vibe and the peaceful location. A great place for our group of friends when we visit Port Douglas. Scott and Helen are fabulous hosts and communication is excellent. Thanks again!

Oak Beach Dreaming Holiday Retreat
Our stay was just perfect. Barbara was a very considerate, thoughtful and responsive host. Everything from check-in to amenities and local attractions was well articulated. The house is very private and secluded (in a small enclave of Oak Beach) with the main house not too close, about 20 metres away with screening etc. The house was just magic per the photos, the living areas are so large and open. The beautiful beach is only a few minutes walk away and the drive into Port Douglas is about 15 minutes north, although if you head south to Cairns there are currently many roadworks on the way with short wait times due to one lane only. We spent most of our time in Port Douglas and above. There are also some local walks to waterfalls available. We only used the pool once, it was large and nice (it is shaded by the tall forest this time of year), note the pool is closer to the main house than it is to the AIRBNB house, but this is not an issue in anyway. Our many thanks to Barbara.

Spacious family home close to beach
Peters house was amazing. Communication from start to finish was excellent with really quick responses to questions we had prior to our visit. There was so much space in the house and plenty of bathrooms for us all. There was everything we needed in the house to make our stay enjoyable, it was in a quiet neighbourhood and we enjoyed sitting listening to the sounds of the wildlife and watching the birds pass over the pool. Stand out has to be the amazing pool area where we spent hours cooling off after a hard days exploring. We would love to visit again. Thank you Peter.

Villa Nava – Chic Pool Oasis, Steps from the Beach
Villa Nava was the perfect home and location to spend our family holidays. Andrew was a wonderful host and nothing was too much trouble. Villa Nava was the perfect blend of resort luxury with a relaxed vibe. The kitchen is fantastic and the pool kept the kids entertained for hours. We highly recommend Villa Nava and can’t wait to stay again.
