Spent 2 weeks in a lovely apartment with a huge balcony that let us enjoy the sun until mid afternoon. Well maintained gardens and very clean spacious apartments close to the beach and shops. Managers very helpful and friendly and we cant wait for April 2014 and another very relaxing holiday at Balboa.

We had 3 nights here recently and stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment which was huge with a lovely view of the beach. The complex location is great at the beach end of Macrossan St so it's only a couple of minute's walk into town. The pool isn't large but what makes the stay so great is the owners who... More

This is an apartment style complex with the pleasant owner/managers very much available to help you out on everything from directions to excursions. The apartments are very large and well stocked. The location, just a two minute walk to the beach and a short stroll to Macrossan and restaurants and shops is excellent. The pool is not huge but is... More

After flying from Perth after two weeks on a cruise ship, we thought we had died and gone to heaven when we arrived at our Balboa apartment! So spacious, light and airy, decorated in tropical greens and whites, with a lovely view across the street of 4 mile beach and the Coral Sea - it was paradise! The kitchen was... More

Friends of ours in Canberra recommended this property to us as soon as they heard we were heading up to Cairns/Port Douglas, and we were so pleased they did. Perfectly located at the end of Macrossan Street for restaurants, tours and a short walk to the marina for trips to the reef and close to the top end of Four... More

I booked based on the TripAdvisor ratings, and I was not disappointed. Everything was just as promised, a roomy one bedroom apartment, with a large deck overlooking the beach across the street. Lynette was most helpful, and and always available, despite our late evening arrival. It was great to have beach towels to take on our dive trips. The internet... More

We loved being there. Location : Great. We were at walking distance for everything. Lynette booked all of our tours and everything was perfect. With our 9 year-old daughter, the pool was a hit ! We would love to go back !

If you are looking for a 3 bedroom apartment, it would be hard to go past Balboa. We stayed in apartment 14, top floor north east corner. Two couples plus another adult, so it would have been nice to have 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms, but this is difficult to find at a reasonable price and within walking distance of... More

Our family of five stayed at Balboa for 10 nights over Christmas/New Year 2012. Having stayed elsewhere in Port Douglas over the years, this time we needed more space ( our eldest is 17 ) and could not go past the three bedroom apartment with everything we needed to make sure our holiday was stress free!! And it certainly was... More

We stayed at Balboa apartment for 8 nights at the beginning of January. We were initially struck at how beautifully clean and immaculately kept the apartment was. We could not fault it. We stayed in a top floor 2 bedroom apartment, which was exceptionally spacious and lovely and bright thanks to the numerous windows throughout the apartment. We were impressed... More
