Just stayed overnight because of tripadvisors reviews and it met all my expectations. It's comfortable and friendly with great service. The room was clean and there's plenty of room to stretch out in case you come with more than two people. Highly recommend! More

We just stayed at the Lazy Lizard in order to stay overnight following Carnivale's Long Lunch event. The property is everything the reviews have indicated - spacious, clean, comfortable and in a great location only a few minutes drive from Port Douglas centre. The owners are really helpful and friendly. We'd definitely recommend a stay here. More

Very nice hotel. Room was very large and spacious. Had a full bathroom and kitchen set. Breakfast was delivered to the room the night before, so we could eat at any time. With two kids, we did not feel cramped at all. Room backed right up to the parking lot so we did not have to walk far. Laundry facilities... More

Very good value for Port Douglas. The good size rooms are spotless, comfortable and well appointed and the staff are friendly and professional. The location is close to the main street of Port Douglas; you can walk from the hotel into the main street in about 15 minutes, or less, depending on what you consider to be "in town". The... More

Large, clean, comfortable rooms with kitchenette. We were so fortunate to find the Lazy Lizard and highly recommend it! We had a rental car for driving into town and could park right in front of our door. The hosts have travel info & will book tours for you. Tour shuttle provides pickup & return. Very convenient & relaxing. No worries,... More

My partner Paul and I stayed at the Lazy lizard in late February. Jim and Penny were more like friends than hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay special, even giving me a bottle of wine for my birthday! Jim drove us round on the first night to show us the best restaurants and booked all... More

The Lazy Lizard Inn was more like a B&B rather than a motel. Jim and Penny were the best hosts a traveller could ask for. They went out of their way to offer advice, provide a good selection at breakfast (which was delivered to our room the night before) and book excursions for us. Penny even invited us to join... More
