Pros:

Mike was so friendly and helpful, great to chat to as well.
The kids loved the pool. It was clean and not too warm or cold and most of the time no one else was using it.
It was an easy walk to either the town, marina or beach.
The complex was very neat and well maintained and the apartment had everything we needed for our stay.

Cons:

Going home...

A great place to stay. Very comfortable and convenient location to beach and shops.
Pros:

The apartment was very well presented and very comfortable. Comfortable beds and lovely showers too. The reception staff were very helpfull. Very close walk to the beach and about 10 minute walk to main shopping street.

Cons:

Maybe a few better items in kitchen if wanting to cook at the apartment like a chopping knife for vegetables.

PERFECT APARTMENT AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED COMPLEX
Pros:

Our apartment on the third floor (212) was spacious, clean and fully equipped. We had two balconies, one off the lounge and one off the back bedroom. We had two bathrooms and an airconditioner in each bedroom as well as one in the living area. A separate laundry room had a washing machine, tumble dryer and a drying rack with washing powder sachets.
Fully equipped kitchen.
The complex is small and very nicely maintained with safe parking The pool area is small but has a large undercover area with table and chairs, overhead fan, fridge and gas barbeque. Mike was very helpful and had lots of handy info for us.
Easy walk to the beach via a short cut.
We will definitely stay at Nautilus again.

Cons:

OBSERVATION, NOT DISLIKE :
It's a 15 - 20 minute walk to the main restaurant/marina / shop areas. It's not far but the heat/humidity can be oppressive (if you have a car literally 2 minute drive and plenty of parking available).

Nice, clean and Tidy place for Port Douglas holiday
Pros:

Clean property and highly responsive host! Mick and Sue were absolutely fantastic and highly approachable!

Cons:

Not much to dislike - the only observation I have is that it was slightly further away from the Main Street so a bit of a walk to get to eateries but very manageable.

Lovely place to stay
Pros:

Lovely apartment with everything expected and more! Pool was welcome in the heat and everything was very clean. Helpful friendly owner Close to beach access.

Cons:

My fault….. slightly further away from restaurants and shops than I thought.
But if you have a car……or it’s not the hottest time of year that would be no problem. Only took about 15 mins. Had overseas visitor who didn’t t handle the heat well so should have booked somewhere closer to everything.
Everything else was perfect!
