Great room with basic kitchen utilities and a very nice bathroom. For the price you can't really beat this in terms of quality and convenience. Aidan is extremely helpful in everything relating to the accommodation and stay itself, but even more so when it comes to recommendations for the area. What to do, when is the best time to do it, offering bookings for tours and discount codes, and lending out literature and utilities. If you are visiting the area around Port Douglas and the Daintree rainforest this seems like a no brainer as a solid base. Even the small heated pool is a nice addition for a dip or a few laps after the sun is down.
