travelled a fair bit through asia and got really used to having free wifi. hit australia and it's really hard to find or at least you have to constantly buy other stuff to get the access. this place has really good speed and lots of areas to chill out and surf away the day.... free. my dorm was really plain...

We stayed in a double. The room and shared bathroom were relatively clean, but the common areas were not clean at all. The pool looked gross, so I didn't go in, which was a tragedy considering how hot it was and how much I love to swim. The free breakfast was kind of a joke, and considering how dirty everything...

A big thank you to Mick, Todd and Nat at Parrotfish lodge for a fabulous stay in Port Douglas. It is great to stay in Backpackers where the staff have had loads of backpacking experience themselves so know how to run a proper Hostel. The Parrotfish Lodge is in the ideal location, being in the middle of Port Douglas and... More

I loved my stay at Parrotfish Lodge, and I fully intend to stay there again the next time I'm in that neck of the woods. The staff made me feel like I was part of the family, were always willing and happy to help me or answer questions, and cared about the experience of the people staying there. It's in... More

I really enjoyed my time at parrotfish and would definitely stay there again. It's not right on the main street, so it's quite at night if you want a night in, but it's only a block away, so everything's easy to get to. the rooms were spacious and clean, and it was nice to have bathroom and shower directly off...

I enjoyed my time at the Parrotfish lodge. The staff is what made the trip the best. I traveled alone and Port Douglas is somewhat of a quiet place, so finding places to hang out and meet people could have been somewhat of a challenge. Nat, one of the worker-bees there, explored the coast with me and helped me feel... More

I live in Cairns and work in Port Douglas at Lotsaprint. There was flooding in the Cairns area and I decided rather than risk trying to get home I would find somewhere affordable to stay. Parrotfish Lodge was cheap, affordable and reliable. I checked in late at about 9pm. The staff member on duty, was very friendly and helpful. The... More
