How good it was to sit on our huge second storey balcony, surrounded by lush palms looking at 4 Mile Beach just 50 metres away. Our immaculately clean apartment was a continuation of indoor/outdoor living with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors opening onto the balcony - complete with outdoor furniture and BBQ. Other features included air conditioning and ceiling... More

I stayed at Balboa apts in Port Douglas for 4 nights and shared a 3 bedroom apt with friends. I was very impressed with how spacious and comfortable the apartments were. Service from mangement (we dealt with Andrew) was top class and that is why I felt compelled to write a review. We all felt like we were valued guests,... More

My family of 5 stayed for 10 nights in the Balboa Apartments. The rooms are spacious, the location is great as we were next to the beach where the surf patrol is. We also were able to stroll to the many cafes and shops along Macrossan St and the Marina Mirage. This was very convenient when we took the Aquarius... More

Best position close to town and the beach with first class facilities and excellent management. Stayed many times in Port Douglas would give Balboa 99 out of 100. More

Lynette and Andrew are two of the most welcoming hosts we have ever met and they are always good for a chat and any assistance with anything that... More

We enjoyed a 7 night stay in apartment 12. The accommodation was on the top floor and looked out towards the sea (through palm trees and was literally just across the road from the beach). We couldn't believe how lucky we were to have such a large space as the apartment was three bedroomed (smallest two rooms locked off) and... More

For our latest holiday we stayed at Balboa Holiday Apartments and would recommend to everyone who is looking to stay at Port Douglas. It is located less than 1 minute walking distance to Four Mile Beach and at the quiet end of Macrossan Street yet also walking distance to the many restaurants and supermarkets located within the street. On our... More

The Accommodation and Location of Balboa Holiday Apartments are 2 reasons we will be returning to stay here on our next trip to Port Douglas. After a horror start to our holiday with what should have been a 4 hour trip blown out to a 12 hour one (flight downgrade and a 5 hour stopover in Brisbane), it was like... More

To Lynette & Andrew, thank you for your hospitality at Balboa Appartments, we had a wonderful stay in your appartments, we found them very spacious, sunny and clean. And what a great location!! Across the road from the beach and litterally a 2 minute walk to the shops & restaurants, but still far enough away from town noise & hussle... More

By far the best combination of spacious accommodation and location, over the road from 4 Mile Beach and just a short stroll from all that Macrossan Street has to offer. Lynette and Andrew were gracious hosts and made for a memorable stay. Balboa will be our no.1 choice when next we're able to visit this idyllic place. More
