Mowbray by the Sea

Pool is lovely, sunny, great design and warm. BBQ n toilet n sun lounges available. Great access to the property. Fabulous Manager happy to help! Close to shops. Cafe on the corner. Surfy’s outdoor dinning on the beach within metres.

Great spot. Easy to walk to Four Mile Beach and the Main Street in Port Douglas. The unit was a little rundown and in need of a renovation. Some of the towels had black marks on them too (maybe a problem with the washing machine?!?!).The pool facilities and gardens were well maintained. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Point to note…there is a water area being built directly opposite. It could be noisy during construction but would be a great area for kids once completed.

I booked two apartments for a family break for week in December and I regret it. The apartments are located in a great location and with in walking distance of Port Douglas Main Street but that's where the positives end. The apartment furniture is very dated, coffee table chipped and sofa's are old and uncomfortable. The bathrooms were dirty and the overall vibe of the apartment is dark, smelly and depressing. One of our apartments dishwasher leaked and water pooled on the floor causing a danger, the water damaged skirting board and wobbly tiles tell me the owners are aware of the problem for some time. As you walk through the apartments the corridors are dirty and for the full week I was there were not swept/cleaned (evidently not been done for a while). The pool was never cleaned in the time we were there, in fact my husband took to sweeping all the leaves from the pool on day 5 as he was so frustrated by the lack of care. ( I honestly could continue to write a long list of issues but these were major ones) Please don't be fooled by the reviews and stay elsewhere, the owners have clearly neglected this for a while and its not worth staying here.

Excellent location. One block to the sand of 4-mile beach and maybe three blocks to the center of the small town of Port Douglas. The setup is like a condo and the unit we had was #4 on the first floor. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. There is a small outdoor area with a pool but no view of the beach. I believe there is parking for cars, we didn't have one. Port Douglas is a fun small town, most of the shopping and dining is all on the main street. Safe and clean and very walkable.

Fantastic location, perfect for families to base themselves. Operators are super helpful.

The unit needed a really good clean. It had a bad drain smell on arrival. I advised the owner and they attempted to rectify some things. It required a total spring clean.
