Want the convenience of being in the main centre, but also want a quiet location right by the sea. You can have the best of both worlds if you stay at By the Sea Port Douglas. By the Sea Port Douglas is in the main centre of Port Douglas (Macrossan Street) and is very convenient with the restaurants, shops and cafes of Port Douglas just a one minute stroll, but it is in a quiet and idyllic spot right by the sea and most of their apartments have lovely sea views By the Sea Port Douglas has a wide range of accommodation to suit different budgets and requirements, ranging from small studios to large 2 floor apartments. All have full kitchen facilities, air conditioning, fast in room internet (adsl2 wired and wireless) , large flat screen TV, sky sports and movie channels and modern furnishings. They also have a range of other excellent facilities including complimentary laptops, free beach towels, chairs, ice, ice buckets, beach games & floaters, complimentary books, DVDs, DVD players, i pod docks , chargers, barbecues, free barbecue packs, heated pool, steam ironing system and free underground car parking

Nice Place Close to Beach

Hotel is located within 2 min. walk from the famous 4-mile beach (this is a long beach!). Try to get a room on the 2nd or 3rd Floor, however. Balcony was nice, but has only view of adjacent hotel. Very Friendly staff! Located on quite part of the main road within walking distance of small shops and places to eat. Has small kitchen, but dining table is on the bacony. No shampoos/soaps in bath (hmmm), but kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans as well as toaster and refrigerator (very nice!)

Sightseeing tip: Short drive from hotel

See the Dainetree Rainforest. Go on to the reef! Bring your own cigs (they will cost you 16 AUD now a pack!), beer is not cheap either! Try Palm Cove...it seems to be more sunny there and a bit less "touristy" although the beach is not as good.

If you are looking for somewhere

If you are looking for somewhere on a budget just to sleep in a very good location right next to the beach and shops then this the place. However if your looking for a romantic getaway you better pay a bit more and book a resort as its just a bit small and noisy but as I was paying a little we couldn't complain. The staff are really friendly and try their best to add value - austar, eski's, beach chairs etc.

We couldn't find fault!

Everything was perfect. By the Sea is one minute from the 4 mile beach and at the top of the main street of Port Douglas yet quiet and away from the shops and restaurants. Everything we asked for was provided by the owners who were in the reception office. They provided a high chair, cot and even a baby bath. One could help oneself to beach chairs, cool boxes, children's toys, floats and they even provided us with a laptop and an internet card which we could use at any time during our stay for a minimum sum. We booked very good excursions to the Daintree National Park and the reef trip through them and they also arranged our pick up and return to Cairns Airport. The apartment was small but very well appointed with a full kitchen, fridge with freezer and balcony with table and chairs. Our towels were changed on demand and beach towels were always available. We stayed 5 days and were sad to leave! May 2010.

We stayed at By the Sea just for

We stayed at By the Sea just for a night and it wasn't long enough. All the team there were so hospitable and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. They have done a really good job of refurbishing the rooms. They are clean and nicely presented and excellent value for money. A huge plus was that there are pool toys, towels, eskis and beach chairs available to borrow at no extra cost. The location is great, right next to the beach and just a 7 minute walk down the main street to the markets and main hub. Great for couples or families, can really recommend this and will definitely be going back! Thank you girls, great job!
