Beachfront Terraces

Yoga on the beach is a must! Hire a beach lounge and umbrella, it is well worth it.

Apartment building is old and the bathroom in the apartment is far too small, with no room for toiletries. However, it is in a great location opposite beach and within walking distance to main restaurant strip.

Great size and location however rain leaked through closed window somehow soaking 3 kids beds. Dishes provided were filthy. Double charged for trundle bed.(refunded by one staff member but questioned by another on checkout)

the apartments are very basic but very clean good beds and everything you would need . we had a garden apartment 207. i was on a 11 night holiday from sydney with my 2 grandchildren 7 and 9. 2 days in from our holiday my 7 year old grandson cut his toe really badly on one of the broken tiles . in the pool...the pool area was very neglected ...when it was reported we were told they were going to be doing major work on the pool area . we were told to use the beaches pool. but we noticed kids were still using the pool .in my opininion it should be closed until it is repaired . this had a huge impact on our holiday as my grandson couldn't put his thongs on and walking was limited .so it was taxi's anytime we wanted to go anywhere.. if you want to watch Tv at the end of the day forget it our TV cracked and banged and went off with loss of signal .. when i got the maintance man to see what could be done .he tried but said this is how it is on Port Douglas nothing more could be done. the position was great across from the beach . and under normal circumstances a 10 minute walk to shops ..

The Terrace apartments are an older building with minimal cheep updating in the bathroom. They share a reception with the property next door which looks newer. The air conditioning has been recently updated and works well in spite if the fact that the front door to the unit is a flimsy lourvered door with a screen to keep out the bugs so the cold air just flows out. The door does nothing to block sound either. The kitchen was adequately equipped for cooking. There is a coffee press which we appreciated. The pots are older with burnt food stains that we could not get out. When we arrived the unit appeared clean but the floor had a fine gritty dust that collected on bare feet and into the beds. The pool was clean but was missing a number of tiles on the bottom and sides. We were in a garden view unit that overlooked a grassy area. The ocean front units have a road between them and the beach as well as a row of tall trees that would most likely block most of the ocean view. The location was good, a 15 minute walk to the center of Port Douglas where there are lots of shops and restaurants. Overall the unit was adequate but not great.

The location is great, old building needs lots of maintenance, not sure about all other rooms. Well organised but nobody there, may be because off season? Hotel is controlled from next door management, friendly but in another hotel.

Overall, the apartments are very decent for the price and have a great location. Others may have said the bathroom is small, yes, it was, but who really cares, it was functional. The amenities in the bathroom were a bit dated. The air conditioning was fine, with a unit in the lounge and bedroom. The kitchen and living area are well equipped and spacious. I have two other comments on the place, which in principle should be of most concern to the management, and if they are addressed, would hopefully not turn off prospective guests. 1. Security in my apartment was poor - the latch on the sliding door was not functional and anyone could have broken into the apartment, which being right on the street in front of the beach would be vulnerable. I did report this as soon as we checked in. Some guy took a look at and made a token repair that improved it slightly for a day or so before the issue returned. I told the maintenance guy again at check out and he said he would take a look. Really, poor security like this in not acceptable - we paid a lot of money to stay there and take basic things like that for granted. 2. Insulation - the back doors have no glass, just open wooden slats! In such a hot and humid place and in this era with global climate change concerns facing the world, one might expect better. Half the cool air from the air conditioning goes straight out the door! Proper doors on these apartments should reduce the electricity requirements substantially I imagine

The apartment is a bit dated, but it was in a good location. The air condition worked very well, but the internet didn't work in the condo. As far as cleanliness, it was acceptable. I is right across from the beach by the net you have to swim within during summer because of stingers. I would def stay here again as the location is great!!

The Port Douglas Beachfront Terrace appartments were just perfect for us. Aircon worked fantastic pool and best of all right across from the ocean. The appartments are older but they r very clean and kitchen lounge and laundry included. Loved the ground floor being able to walk just across the road to the beach. probably a 5-10 minute walk up town. There are many fancier more modern resorts around but I don't see the value I need clean quiet comfortable and proximity to the beach this has it all. Make sure if your booking the shuttle bus from Cairns airport that you tell them Port Douglas Beachfront Terrace appartments as there is a Beachfront Terrace in the street behind.

On my initial entry to the unit, I was dismayed that in general, it was very dated. I thought it would be better for the cost per night. The view from the balcony was also lacking, although if I looked hard, I could see the ocean. However, it was clean, roomy and the A/C worked well. The position in Pt Douglas was good also, within easy walking distance to everywhere. My husband and I enjoyed our stay, despite our first negative assessment of the property.
