“Clean, Spacious, Close to Beach and Town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

Beach Terraces was a great hotel to stay at. As others said, these apartments are in a pretty good location. You are a very short 2 minute walk to the beach, as well as a cute little cafe for breakfast. You are also a short 1 minute walk into town, and being at one end of the strip, you can easily walk up to a great array of restaurants and shopping.

The apartments are furnished, clean, spacious and have laundry facilities, which is great. The kitchen has a full sized fridge and everything you'd need for a night in or to make lunches for a day at the beach.

The pools at the Terrace are pretty nice too, although we didn't venture past the main pool. It is refreshing to take a dip in the pool after a long day, if you are not in the mood for the beach.

Overall, there are a LOT of choices in Port Douglas, There are many, many hotels to choose from. I would recommend Beach Terraces if you are looking for a relaxing stay at a great location and at an affordable price.

“exceeded expectations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment mid September. As many have said previously the unit is very spacious and excellently positioned. Our priority was to have quick easy access to the beach and still be able to walk to restaruants and pubs in. Beach Terraces fitted the bill perfectly. The apartment had everything we needed in terms of equipment and everything was near new. Large tv, full kitchen, washing machine, dryer and deck were very useful. The unit was very clean. The pools aren't huge like you would get in a large resort but are still plenty big enough for swimming in, which I did often, and the surrounding outdoor areas are well fitted out. Our time was very relaxing and the host George was friendly and informative. As we had a late flight out of Cairns we wanted to spend some more time on the beach the day we were leaving and George very kindly allowed us to use the shower in the afternoon so we could wash down before leaving for the airport. Thanks very much for that. I would highly recommend this place for families and couples as it is very good value for money. Port Douglas, Mossman the Danintree and Cape Trib are beautiful to visit.

Room Tip: we stayed in unit 5 which is on the ground floor. Had no issues with noise at all.

“Close to everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

Beach Terraces is great holiday accommodation. So close to the main street (Macrossan), to the beach - in fact walking distance to most places. The apartments are very spacious, clean, tidy and reasonably modern. The two pools are fabulous. George and Treveen are great hosts and can keep you abreast of what is going on. In May 2012 it is Carnivale time, which is a fantastic opportunity to see Port Douglas come alive.

Room Tip: All the rooms are great. The 3-bedroom apartments are on the top level. (It is only 3 storeys high).

“very convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

As others have commented, these serviced apartments are in a very good location. They have been cleverly designed such that all balconies overlook the street and not over the neighbouring apartment building. The apartment was a bit dated with the usual bamboo furniture and blunt cutting knives, but otherwise had everything you could possibly need and was very clean. The pool is not heated but the beach is what matters at this location and the beach is very close.

Room Tip: Ask for an apartment with a bedroom that does not face the internal stairs

“Close to the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

Beach Terraces is in a terrific location. A short walk into town for a meal, no need for any transport. A stones throw from the best part of the beach - walk there in bare feet it's such a short distance. Just grab a towel and go.
Rooms were spacious and very well appointed. An excellent assortment of crockery, cutlery and cookware. Washing machine, dryer and huge fridge. Our own balcony with outdoor setting.
Nice outdoor pool with plenty of sun lounges. The proprietors were very helpful with trip recommendations and organisation.
We had a fantastic time and will certainly be returning :-)
