Port Douglas Hinterlands Cheap Holidays

Good size room and great location as everything is close. The staff are great and have good knowledge of the area. Definitely a good base to explore the region and reasonably priced.

Left watch behind. Contacted immediately to post it across. Very close to everything.

Had a wonderful 10 night stay at Shantara. We loved being so close to Macrossan st and the beach, while the pool was an amazing end to each day. The Hotel was peaceful, beautiful and quiet. As is normal for Far North Queensland, there is not everyday cleaning service but we don’t use that anywhere anyway. Plenty of parking, but if you didn’t bring a car everything is walking distance with shuttle bus options for longer journeys. The only black mark of the stay were our neighbours on the pool deck room who were obviously upset at having a queer couple nearby, so disappointing in 2026 but not the Hotels fault at all.

Incredible space, immaculate, and total comfort. ​We stayed in a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom top-floor apartment and were blown away by how huge and private it is. The layout is fantastic—the second bathroom has a separate toilet, and there is a fully separate laundry with a washer, dryer, sink, and clothes airer. ​The kitchen was absolutely immaculate and stocked with everything you could possibly want, including a double fridge/freezer, plenty of crockery, glassware, and even helpful extras like cling wrap and foil. They are incredibly generous with supplies, leaving loads of dishwasher tablets and laundry powder. ​The beds are very comfortable with crisp sheets. There is excellent airflow thanks to ceiling fans in every room, including out on the large main balcony. Just a note for anyone with mobility considerations: there is no lift, so you will be using the stairs to get up to level 3, but the trade-off is beautiful treetop views and total privacy. We couldn't fault the cleanliness; the entire place was spotless. The pool is a warm 28-30 degrees and very private I don't think the rooms look into the pool area at all. BBQ area is a great set up. The communication with the management team was quick, informative and friendly. Adrian & Elmira were brilliant to deal with. Highly recommend it and we would definitely come back.

The location was central and made everything easy. The room was clean, well appointed and the service exceptional.

Clean room , the staff is very friendly and always willing to help.

What a wonderful resort. The property is absolutely stunning as are the staff! You don’t need to leave the resort, everything is at your fingertips. The included activities are an added bonus and a great way to meet new people. Every staff member always had a smile on their face and nothing was too much trouble.

We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom Villa. It was perfect for our family of 7. Hotel staff was wonderful. Great looking property and fabulous pool area. Location is less than ten minutes from central Port Douglas. Access to the beach. We will definitely return for a longer stay!

Close to the esplanade

Good experience. Nice relaxing place. Very helpful staff.

This hotel has just been taken over by new owners the staff were saying, so are putting a lot of money into it to get it up to 4 star. The staff were so helpful, my room was great ,and with the improvements it'll only get better. What a location too, loved we were looking out over the ocean, and an easy walk into town. I'll definitely be staying here again when I come back.
