Peninsula Boutique Hotel Port Douglas - Adults Only Haven

We visit the Peninsula every year. There’s so much to enjoy about it. Position .. directly opposite the beach. Close to shops and restaurants. And Hi Tide at the Peninsula is a fabulous busy little restaurant open all day. We love happy hour and always meet some great people. And the staff are so friendly and helpful . Breakfast is included which is a huge plus.. Not much lunch needed and then out for a restaurant dinner! Beach chairs and towels are provided and there are lovely areas to lounge around the pool areas. The rooms are fine.. a bit old fashioned and kitchen could have better cutlery and crockery . .. and The tv position is a little awkward. But it’s a quirky, friendly place and we Love it!!!

We enjoyed our stay here - the location is perfect as close to everything (beach is right across the road) and we could walk to restaurants. The staff were fantastic - very helpful and friendly and fun. And having breakfast included in the rate was a great bonus - the food was fabulous (and we are foodies from Melbourne). The only problem was the faulty fire alarm which rang twice in the middle of the night, on different nights, whilst we were there for only 6 nights. Apparently, it is regular occurrence and really needs to be fixed.

Position was perfect Our stay was bliss Great vibe We’ve booked to return next year

We loved our stay at the Peninsula Port Douglas. Ok size rooms, great outlook to beach, nice size complex not too big not too small. Handy having a small kitchen for lunch or dinners in. Great breakfast’s included in room rate. If in Port Douglas again, this will definitely be our go to accommodation.

Upon arrival we received a very friendly welcome. During our stay all the staff were extremely helpful and friendly especially Sara and Shelly. We had a sea view room with a terrace. The room had a small kitchen and dining area and was very clean. We also had a huge bath and separate shower. Breakfast was very good and we also enjoyed Happy Hour every afternoon. The hotel supplied towels by the pool which you could also take to the beach. They also provided chairs and umbrellas to take to the beach if required. There were plenty of shops and restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel. We also went on several trips and were collected from the hotel - one with Sailaway Port Douglas - low isles sunset cruise and one with Tony’s Tropical Tours to Mossman Gorge and Daintree Forest. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff, we were sad to leave.

Great location, good breakfasts, dinner while OK was not up to the level of the other restaurants visited. The room while nicely situated felt a bit crowded in places.

The current TripAdvisor Ai generated review pretty perfectly summarises our recent experience of The Peninsula; Peninsula Boutique Hotel offers a mixed experience for visitors. While many travelers enjoy the spacious rooms and beachfront location near shops and Four Mile Beach, some find the accommodations dated and in need of maintenance. Cleanliness receives mixed reviews, with some praising it and others noting issues. The breakfast and pool amenities earn positive feedback, though the hotel is considered pricey for its condition. Service is generally seen as friendly and helpful. My husband and I previously stayed here in November 2019 and loved the property and location. On that visit we had a ground floor room with a small patio facing the beach, and parked on the road right outside the room. As such, we didn’t see as much of the actual hotel. This visit we were on a higher floor and perhaps that’s why we noticed that the corridors were clean, but very tired looking. As others have said the car park is quite scruffy, although we didn’t really mind that. Our suite now looked dated; some mould around the shower and little glitches like mismatched crockery, wardrobe doors sticking and coat hangers stuck to the little plastic bits that they’re attached to on the hanging rail making them impossible to hang anything without buttons onto. I do appreciate that these are first world problems, but as others have said, this property has fairly premium pricing. On the plus side, the location is absolutely superb. We really enjoyed our breakfasts, parking is free, the pool area is genius, so much pool and seating designed into a fairly small space, and from what we saw was all clean. The staff were all lovely and, an absolute bonus when you’re on a long trip - there’s complimentary washers and dryers on each floor. It’s a brilliantly located and comfortable hotel, but to my mind, overpriced for its current condition.

Peninsula Boutique Hotel (Port Douglas) Location -5/5. Superb. In centre, on 4 Mile beach, close to shops and bars and restaurants Ambience - 2/5. Small and very little feel to the place but suits a boutique Food - 4/5. Great food and breakfast Room - 2/5. Aircon didn’t work. Bathroom very dated. Staff - 3/5. Very friendly Facilities - 2/5. Pool was very small. Had a washing machine and bikes Overall - 3/5. Would defo recommend for location and food. Most hotels require a shuttle bus. This hotel is perfect for walks into downtown, round the headland and along the beach. Poor Air con meant room was stuffy. They said they were getting a new aircon machine. Pool is poor if you don’t like the beach

Good location, just a short walk to the beach. The place is cosy and not too crowded. The bed was also comfortable.

Unfortunately, breakfast was quite disappointing, very limited options, and we ended up eating the same food for six days straight. The room itself was much smaller than advertised. It seems like the outdoor porch area was included in the listed size, which was a bit misleading. The photos also made the room look more modern and spacious than it actually was. Our room was located near the kitchen, which made it quite noisy—we could only get proper sleep once the kitchen closed for the night. At nearly $600 per night, it felt significantly overpriced for what was offered. I’d say it would be a reasonable place to stay if the price was closer to $200–$300 per night.
