The Motel was really clean with recently updated modern rooms. The owner couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming and the room was great value for money.

My husband & I stayed for our honeymoon. We enjoyed our stay. Room was spacious (D250) Inroom appliances were great. It was nice to have a washer/dryer, dishwasher & double door fridge. The hotel wasn't to noisey. The feel and look of the resort was very relaxing. From first impression coming into the reception area I felt I was in Fiji.

The Sea Temple is a lovely hotel with a great relaxing atmosphere, well looked after facilities, modern rooms (not to forget the incredible spa bath) and fantastic food! I extended my stay twice as I couldn't have enough of this hotel! The location was great, only a short drive to the main stretch of port douglous.
I would rate this hotel 10/10 with the only negative being the service delivered by room service. Twice parts of our order was missing although this wasn't a problem, the room...

You know how you're often disappointed after arriving at a venue that you've booked online? This is NOT one of those venues! What a spectacular location.

Very well located on the main street between the inlet and the beach. Generous size rooms and an outside balcony overlooking some greenery. Laundry facilities are not in the room but they are free and accessible. The car park is very tight and would not suit a large car but overall a great place to stay in Port Douglas, and reception staff we’re very friendly

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed with honest and friendly advice on the hotel's services, places of interest including available tours and being shown around our room. Nice to have some good old-fashioned service.

The Lodge exceeded our expectation. The individual lodges were very well appointed and tucked away in the forest. When we arrived the staff were very helpful, as they were throughout our four day stay. The meals were varied and imaginative ... well done chef! Diwan is centrally located in the Daintree so the Lodge is a good spot from which to explore. We loved it.

When is the best time to go to Newell?
The best time to go to Newell is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to October. This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the region.
During these months, you can expect clear skies, lower humidity, and comfortable temperatures, usually ranging from 20°C to 28°C. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities such as exploring the Daintree Rainforest, visiting the Great Barrier Reef, or simply relaxing on the beaches. The drier conditions also mean fewer mosquitoes and a lesser chance of encountering marine stingers, making swimming and snorkelling more enjoyable.
The wet season, from November to April, brings higher humidity, more rainfall, and hotter temperatures, often exceeding 30°C. While the rainforest is particularly lush and green during this time, heavy downpours can sometimes disrupt travel plans, and marine stingers are more prevalent in the coastal waters.
