As a family of 5, including 3 yr old twins, we wanted an apartment that was family friendly, within easy reach of 4 Mile Beach, and a short stroll to the main thoroughfare of Port Douglas (with its excellent eateries and shops). The Queenslander ticked every box and it had a pool which we made the most of. John and... more

We booked directly with Carol after reading the reviews here and in Lonely Planet Australia. When we were comparing all the places we stayed during our 2 weeks in Australia, we agreed that this was the best value for the price during our entire stay. We wished we had stayed longer, it is so conveniently located and the apartments are... more

Spoke on the phone with Carol and John and got a great rate for a 2 bedroom apartment. We also corresponded before our trip and they were helpful in answering general questions about travel to Australia.

The owners, Carol and John, are extremely helpful and pleasant people, and went out of their way to help me book the tours that were best suited to my interests and needs.

The first thing that struck us was... more

We stayed at the Queenslander for five days and Carol and John made our stay most enjoyable. We booked all of our activities through them and they were very helpful in assisting us. The one bedroom unit was very spacious and very clean. The location is very close and walkable to the beach, the restaurants and the harbor. It was... more

We corresponded with Carol and John on the internet, prior to our stay and found the information they gave us very helpful, we had no qualms about booking directly with them. The accommodation was way beyond our expectations, the whole block is immaculate, quite, peaceful and it was a pleasure to return after a days hard sightseeing. I have never... more

We stayed at the Queenslander over Easter and were made to feel really welcome. Carol and John made time to make sure we were getting the holiday we wanted and gave honest and unbiased advice. The accomodation was clean and tiny and they had thought of everything one would need on a self catering break. Thankyou for a lovely stay!! more
