"We have been staying at the Lakes Resort when visiting Cairns for the last 15 years. We have stayed in the one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom apartments and each time it has felt like home away from home. Our rooms are always clean, beautifully decorated. The only suggestions I have would be to add a coffee machine to the kitchen for an extra touch of indulgance and a selection of board games in the family apartments."

"The location was perfect—right on the marina and close to all the activities around the reef and shopping plus parks and restaurants. The staff were amongst some of the friendliest and most helpful we’ve had on our travels!"

My fiancé and I went here with minimal expectations, just looking for a getaway with close access to the Great Barrier Reef. This resort was beyond accommodating. The surpassed our expectations with amazing food, drinks, and service. They also provided us with transport to and from most any location and recommended awesome activities and onsite nature walks!

Studio w/ Kitchenette was avsolutely perfect! Clean, modern, and all the cooking and cleaning utensils I need for my 6 day stay. Washer & dryer in the unit was a plus. Bathroom had a tub and shower with separated toilet, like you get in fancy hotels. This room made my stay even more pleasurable and comfortable.

My entire experience was exceptional. I went to the desk the first morning with a huge wish list of things I wanted to do and see, all in my four day visit. Within an hour they had all of my wishes met along with vouchers and itineraries. The location was perfect and the staff was amazing. This was my finale of a 40 day trip to the South Pacific and Australia
Unfortunately, my last morning there, I woke up really sick with a virus. The staff was so patient with me while I tried to pack for...

Our stay at the Meridian was fantastic. John and Sue were so lovely and incredibly welcoming during our stay. The room was clean and super quiet. The laundry facility was really handy. But above all else, the location can't be beat. Right at the top of the main avenue, and two blocks from the beach / swimming area. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great value for their time in Port Douglas.

The holiday apartment that we rented was beautiful -- spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The pool and BBQ area was also nice. It's an easy walk to the center of town (maybe 15 minutes?) and there is a shuttle if needed. Check-in was simple and the staff were very friendly. Overall, a great stay.

so close to the ocean you wake up hearing the waves on shore. Birds singing in the morning, Could have had a oven, but everything was nice! Washer an dryer too! You had to take a bus to a grocery store if you wanted to save money for month long stays. Very family friendly atmosphere. Super nice beach maybe 100 yards away. If you compared a 4 star motel in a big city and this place you may not agree it was a 4 star. Very relaxing, clean. like being home

The property was clean and tidy well set up just very dated...could do with some more modern everything.
We were happy that the property was close to where we wanted to go to.
The bed wasnt too comfy either

If you love nature, you will love The Canopy! We spotted a platypus on the first day and a cassowary on our way out! The birds are beautiful and the turtles plentiful. The staff were kind and helpful. They even built a fire for us on a cool day. Loved every minute of our time there.
