There are loads of places to stay in Port Douglas so having chosen Verandahs from reading other reviews we were delighted that we had found such a little gem. Everything in PD is near to Verandahs - it's located just a skip from Macrossan Street and just around the corner from the beach, but still managed to be quiet and... more

Stayed with my family for 7nights at the end of an extended trip to Australia. This small apartment block has a great location, 2 minutes walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Very friendly and helpful staff (Sue and Finn). The apartment (number 3) was spacious and extremely clean and well equipped and overlooked the small pool which was warm... more

We have just returned from Port Douglas and can recommend Verandahs to anyone else with little kids ( ours are 6 and 8) who believe holidays are about spending hors at a time a in the pool! The apartments are clean, modern and stylish with plenty of room, stone bench tops, full kitchen and laundry, two bedreooms, two flat screen... more

We spent 4 nights at Verandahs in May 2008. The location is very central - less than 5 minutes to the beach or town centre. This is both a blessing and a curse. It's on the main road and very easy to get everywhere. Unfortunately the main road also means traffic and pedestrian noise. It wasn't bad but was enough... more

She constantly gave updates on the weather and diving conditions to make sure we would be able do get out to a reef trip. The apartments are... more

Verandahs, run by the friendly and charming Sue and Greg, was one of the highlights of our trip down under over Christmas 2007. It is 5 minutes walk from Macrossan Street and the town's shops, restaurants and bars, and 5 minutes in the other direction is Four Mile Beach. The apartments are spacious, clean and wonderfully comfortable, and the hotel... more

Stayed in the Verandahs early Jan 2008. Had a great time in PD. The problem with PD is that there can be too much to do in the time you stay there and many of the trips are too similar in price/itinery to choose from. However, with the enthusiastic hosts, Greg and Sue, you've got a wealth of inside knowledge... more

The owner and her daughter we very helpful, they listened to what type of tour we wanted and advised us on what they thought was the... more
