The above elements significantly impacted on our overall experience. Feedback was offered diecetly to the management pri
Pros:

Location was perfect, close - easy walk to beach and town.

Cons:

It wasn’t very clean- the balcony was very sandy, and we also found a dad cockroach on the main bedroom pillow, which was a little confronting. Due to the short stay and being New Year’s Eve, we chose to clean them up ourselves.

The courtesy ‘arrival’ package was very basic and insufficient for a 2 nights stay:

one- single use sachet of dishwashing detergent
a bin liner
a tea towel
Two tea bags and two coffee sachets

The option was provided to go to reception and purchase more, however, we felt enough should have been supplied for the duration of the stay- at premium, peak season rates.

No shade over the pool made it pretty much unusable during the peak of the day heat between 9-4pm.

Great location!
Pros:

The location was excellent! So close to the beach and short walk to the central area of Port Douglas shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Its a shame the unit was so dated. This came as a shock according to the photos shown. Our stay was still very enjoyable but the unit itself does need updating.

Good location. Competent, friendly staff. Cramped apartment did not match what we had ordered.
Pros:

The location was perfect and the staff were friendly and competent.

Cons:

The apartment was not as portrayed. It was cramped, much smaller than expected. The confirmation I recieved indicated that there was a separate bathroom and an additional toilet as well as the private bathroom. There was not. The private bathroom was about a metre wide. An alternative apartment meeting the specifications was not available.

This accommodation is a residential property & is managed by Beaches Port Douglas stay there instead
Pros:

Location is really good if you want to stay near the beach.

Cons:

I do not like the noises around the apartment. Smoke alarms going off during dawn. We were on the ground floor and could hear the loud footsteps from above us. At some point during our stay, some residents scheduled renovation of their property at 7am on a peak season without notice from the bodycorp or guests staying at the apartments. Guest parking being used by the renovation team.
Also, bring mosquito repellants if you are going to have breakfast in the garden.

Great stay with views of Four Mike Beach and the beach was only a minute away
Pros:

Our stay at Beachfront Terraces was great. Perfect position so close to the beach, cafes, redtaurants and shops. The apartment had everything required. Bed was very comfy. The only downfall was the bathroom. Although the shower was good the washbasin was tiny and wasn't really ideal. Apart from that would recommend.

Cons:

The bathroom was too small and no shelving for toiletries. Couch wasn't very comfortable
