Wow, what an unbelievable 8 days staying at this beautiful house in such a perfect place close to everything in Port Douglas. I cannot recommend this well appointed house highly enough. The Owners are so attentive and nothing is too much trouble . It was fantastic as there were 3 double rooms each with there own bathrooms (heaven with a teenager), a beautiful outdoor area, washing and cleaning facilities, FOXTEL etc, etc, etc. Did not want to leave !!!
Outstanding quality of a great design layout, all you could ask for & convenience to shops/ restaurants but I do think the lap pool was the most used item there for family of 6 adults. We all had a very relaxing & pleasant time away. Thanks to all..
A very spacious town house a minutes walk to Macrossan street with a small plunge pool off the kitchen, great to cool off in the evening. The decor is slightly outdated but tastefully done with large rooms upstairs to relax in. Although just off Macrossan street noise is not an issue and the convenience of being so close to everything is the best feature.
Chez Willow is very centrally located within 10 minutes walk of the Marina, beach and the restaurants/shopping precinct. The villa is very comfortably appointed and having your own pool creates the wow factor. There could have been a little more seating in the living area so that our party of 6 adults could spread out a little more, however as minimal time was actually spent in the villa, we coped during our 4 night stay. Ensuites to each bedroom together with ceiling fans and individual airconditioning made for very pleasant sleeping conditions. Considering the villa's position, there was little street noise. The kitchen is very well equipped, modern and spacious. The villa's comfort and proximity to all of Port Douglas' attractions made for a very pleasant and relaxing stay overall. Would highly recommend this villa.
We rented Chez Willow for our extended family of 6 people ages 16-60 for a one week stay in June. LOVED the location, the layout, the pool, and the host (Jon) was very accessible. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. There were some drawbacks - check with host before renting:
- wifi was broken the entire week and was as slow as dialup
- a/c in living room was broken and frequently blew the breaker after a few minutes running
- there wasn't a comfortable seat in the entire house - the couches were overly soft and even our lightest teenagers sank into them - the dining chairs work for dinner but aren't for lounging - there were no reading chairs in the bedrooms - and the beds didn't have headboards and rolled away from the wall if you tried to sit up and read in bed.
If you're renting short term and just need a place to crash - great. For longer stays, this could be a perfect property with a little investment and attention.
Stayed here with my family which consisted of 5 adults. Couldn't praise the place highly enough. Spacious and bright with our own pool. Upstairs we had three double bedrooms each en-suite which added to our comfort. The villa was within easy walking distance to the main street and the Marina. A beautiful villa in a fabulous location. Would certainly go back to Chez Willow if we are ever lucky enough to be back in Australia.
