3-Sterne-Hotels in Port Douglas

While the accomodation was basic it served our purpose. Was clean and functional.

We had a powered campsite that was way too small, the sites were very crowded together & uneven so quite a challenge to park our 16 ft Van safely. The park was sadly in need of regular maintenance & tlc. Lorne was a lovely spot & it wouldn’t take too much effort to improve the Foreshore Caravan Park, some money time & effort. The office person was helpful it’s just that the Park just didn’t deliver.

We went in on off-chance and had a choice of rooms. We chose to go for the sea view ‘Executive’ room on 1st floor to front of building with a balcony. Great bed, lovely warm room (one I worked out that AC was also a heater), tea/coffee making facility inc. milk in the fridge, heating lights in the bathroom. There was even a walk-in wardrobe area! Didn’t take a photo inside the room but did take a couple of the view. A little gem of a place in Lorne. So glad we found it.

The draw card here is the location. On the beach, beautiful. We made a booking for an ocean view room, when we arrived our room had been given to someone else at the error of junior staff. We ended up with a partial ocean view room. The staff handled the situation best they could and provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine which was appreciated. Despite the excellent location, the room was very worn out but clean. The bathtub enamel was coming off in patches which was a little gross to put your feet on. You can see by the beautiful landscape and design of the original hotel that, in its heyday, it would have been the height of luxury. Overall, we were disappointed by the rooms but thrilled with the location. There is a lot of potential here but the pricing doesn't reflect the standard of the rooms at this stage.

Not good and not recommended. The whole property is very rundown and in urgent need of refurbishment. Complete painting, upgrading bathrooms, toilet and general presentation. Finishes are old shabby and grubby. The sunken shower in a spa is difficult to access for some and is slippery. To reach the toiletries you are required to walk across a slippery and sloped base to use. This shower aspect should be highlighted to every guest when the booking is being made. Almost impossible to enter and exit the shower safely. In fact it is very dangerous despite a handle to hold on the wall. These showers should be removed without any delay and replaced with walk in showers. Completely unacceptable. Window in bedroom faces walkway from lift and from stairs. It is noisy, hearing people walking, talking and slamming doors. The window allows light into the bedroom all night and if the blind is up, it is easy to see into the room from outside. Requires replacement window covering such as a shutter to prevent light and allow some privacy. Lift was filthy and floor covering requires replacement. For the cost of well over $400 per night in the off season, the room did not provide the room facilities that is expected for such a high tariff. Certainly not even 4 star. 3 star in our opinion. The balcony is dirty and uninviting. Not the place to sit and admire the view of the beach. Furniture requires replacement with such more in line with price expectation of the owners. It is time management sat up and took notice.

Terry und das Team am Anchorage sind willkommen. Das Motel ist unspottlos sauber und die Zimmer sind auch brillant. Die Lage ist perfekt für den Vordergrund und in der Nähe aller lokalen Geschäfte usw. Wir hatten ein Studio, hell und dekoriert sauber, mit einer Mikrowelle und Tee / Kühlschrank. Auf dem Pool, wenn Sie eine wollen. Kostenlose Parkplätze. Unterstützung für ein lokales Unternehmen. Eine fantastische Nacht-Aufenthalt. Danke (Liam & Jon), Woof, zu Ziggy!

Glamping in the eco tents was a wonderful experience. The tents are on a platform so you are above the lawn where the kangaroos gather and cockatoos come and land on the verandah. The small room is so cosy with a comfy double bed with electric blankets and there’s also bunk beds. There’s a small lounge/kitchen area with a couch as well as microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge but there’s a Weber bbq outside. In the cupboard there’s everything required incl a selection of teas plus coffee and hot choc, spray oil as well as crockery and cutlery plus milks in the fridge. There’s also a tv, fan and blow heater which quickly heated up the room. It’s just a five min drive from the town but feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere and the properties are nicely spread out and private and with a balcony with chairs and table you feel at one with nature. There are a few fire pits outside all ready to go for a fun way to watch the wildlife and chill out. A really super place to spend a few days run by a lovely couple.
