Beachfront Terraces

The Beachfront terraces is one of 4 properties run by a group. I believe each unit is privately owned but run by a holiday management group, as we had locked cupboards that we could not access which I imagine contained the owners personal property. Ours was possibly the most tired of the units we saw. Very old and shabby. Oven and shower needed replacing. Blinds broken, and sliding doors off their railings that kind of thing. BUT, it is in a great location (across the street to 4 mile beach, 5 minute walk up to the main shopping and dining district, 5 minute walk the other direction to the marina) and the property itself (gardens etc) is very well maintained. The pool was fabulous (not heated). Communication from the management group was fantastic, they were quick to reply to messages, and when the cleaners missed something, they sorted it quickly. Shame we got dishwasher powder rather than dishwashing liquid when there was no dishwasher. So I would recommend this place to stay if you are looking for something on a budget that is in a good location and you don't need the best of the best.

Access to beach, but bathroom was not safe. Far too small ( less than 1 metre in width ) door in wrong place which obstructed entrance to toilet & door stop

We booked because of the beachfront location and we weren’t disappointed! Right on the beach, but an easy walk into town. The facilities were good, the bed was comfy. As others have mentioned, the decor is a little dated in places, but clean, tidy and functional. There was covered parking available. We didn’t have any issues, so didn’t need to call on anyone, but the lovely lady on reception was very responsive to my emails before and during our stay.

Beachfront Terraces is a fabulous location - just metres to the beach and foreshore. The single bedrooms apartments are spacious and attractively decorated. The pool is sheltered and the garden area at the back pleasant. It's an easy walk to Macrossan Street

This was our 2nd stay and the first for 30 years. It was even better than we remembered. Great location, really friendly and helpful staff (thank you, Tommy). Nicely furnished, clean and comfortable unit with a mid-stay change of bedding, towels, etc. Will definitely be back! Jo & Jim from Gold Coast

Great location, not too noisy in day, wonderfully quiet at night. Bird songs, curlews singing and chirpy geckos. Reasonably clean and comfy. Manager was super helpful. We’d come back.

Very convenient.

Great location, reception staff awesome, great coffee shop

The property was in a fantastic location. Close to dining, beach and shops. Would highly recommend it

Our family of 5 visited in January 2023. Upon checking in we noticed a bit dated/aged feeling to the apartment (211) which was surprising considering the photos advertising like new amenities. When booking, a main consideration for our family is access to Wi-Fi, to communicate with family, stream movies for children etc; we we’re unapologetically informed that after our booking was made, Wi-Fi is no longer available at the venue. (At the time of writing this review, TripAdvisor still lists the location as having Wi-Fi). This was a most disappointing factor of our stay here, as we felt falsely advertised to and likely wouldn’t have booked a stay here without the Wi-Fi. On the plus side, the location has a newly renovated pool which our children spent much time in. The beach is a stone’s throw from the property and we found the city of Port Douglas to be laid back and charming. Overall. this location would benefit from renovation as there was a lot of rust and unclean/broken items in the apartment. While the proximity to the beach of this location is the highlight, there are several areas which could be improved to make a stay here seem more of what we expect when vacationing.
