Fantastic stay
Pros:

The freestyle resort is at a fantastic location. It's a 5min walk to a 4 mile long, beautiful beach, where you can go swimming with lifeguards on watch at part of the beach. It is also a short walk to get into town. Theres lots of nice shops and restaurants. Anne recommended a bakers which was our morning highlight. Our room was perfect. Everything we needed was there. It had a fridge/freezer/microwave, dishes/balcony. There is free parking at the hotel and laundry services. The apartment was very clean and the pool is quiet and peaceful. There is a wealth of information available about the local area from books in the room, to leaflets at reception. Id recommend asking Anne as she can give you lots of help depending on where you'd like to go and time of year. We were traveling around Australia and this was our favorite place out of them all.

Good location, needs a refresh
Pros:

Good location, easy 10 minute walk to Main Street shops and restaurants. Easy 10 minute walk to beach.
Friendly management.
Decor is tired and needs a refresh. We had issues with dripping tap, which was fixed, but the compressor noise from fridge was not.
Shower head is old leaky and low, so you need to stoop to get head under the shower, bathroom generally needs refresh - old fashioned and worn.
Good pool.
Overall good location, good pool but rooms are tired and not what I’d call 4 star more like 3.

Fantastic stay in every respect.
Pros:

We have just completed 4 wonderful days at the Freestyle. We arrived with a friendly and informative welcome from Anne who made sure we got settled in and got the most from our time in Port Douglas. Throughout our stay Anne was always available & willing to answer any questions and went beyond by checking our pick up times for all our trips. The facilities are brilliant, a super swimming pool, clean rooms and added benefit of a kitchen area. It was so nice to stay in a resort that was so personal, and genuine outstanding customer service. No hesitation in recommending this establishment. Thank you Anne Ian & Gaynor

Excellent stay
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel in early May as our last stop after travelling around Australia.
Anne was very welcoming and helpful upon arrival. She recommended local restaurants, places to go, and offered to call and reconfirm any of our trips and transfers. She also offered advice on the weather conditions which helped us to move our reef trip to a much better day.
The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and very clean. Beach towels were provided, which we were also able to take on trips.
The location was excellent and only a short walk to Macrossan Street and all the local cafes and restaurants.
We had a 6pm flight on the day we left and were kindly offered a late checkout so we could enjoy the last of our time there without having to worry about our bags.
We would definitely return!

Awesome comfortable and calm stay
Pros:

Great spot, just a 5 minute walk to the Main Street. Close enough to not have to have a car and far enough from the noise. Beautiful Aussie rooms, Anne was lovely, with some great recommendations for the time to spend up here. Would definitely return on my next visit.

Great location
Pros:

The location is great - close to the town centre and the beach. Anne is a great host, super friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The shower is fairly small and there isn't a lot of cupboards in the bedroom to put things away, so you don't have to live out of your suitcase.

Peace and quiet - with a pool!
Pros:

Ideal for its location, close enough to the shopping centre to be practical, for enough away to be peaceful.
Excellent value for our 5 night stay.
Relaxing and comfortable.
Highly recommended.
