Verandahs Boutique Apartments

Great location and super friendly staff Superb location which is around the corner from the main Port Douglas ***** and amenities. Apartments are in good condition with kitchen well equipped for light meals. Staff were great suggestions and feedback on local attractions. Only negative is the pool which is on the smaller side, but does get all day sun.

Feels like home The veranda felt like a little piece of home on a very long holiday. We only stayed two nights, but I wished we had more time. Too bad too Bath laundry a full kitchen. It was great just to kind of relax. Cook a meal watch TV and have a good night sleep. We stayed here towards the end of a month long vacation and it felt so comfortable and welcoming. The owners are on site, quick to respond, helpful and very accommodating to overseas travelers with crazy schedules. The place is very well kept, clean and safe. The only downside was that we were on the third floor and left our luggage in our car so that we didn’t have to haul the heavy suitcases up and down, there’s no elevator.

We had a wonderful family holiday in March at Verandahs. The location is by far one of the best things about the complex - just off the main drag so easy to get out and explore the shops/cafes/restaurants etc. without having to get in the car. We were a big family group with three two-bedroom apartments and loved the size of them and amenities available. The kitchen and dining areas meant we could all hang out together without having to eat out for every meal. All three apartments were quite different in terms of decor and furnishings with pros and cons for each (size of balconies, natural light, stairs or not etc.) Yes, the pool is basic, but as a group with kids ranging from 6 months old to 6 years old, we found it perfectly okay. There is a little shallow/wading area you use to walk into the pool where kiddies can paddle and kick about as yes, the rest of the pool is deep/for stronger swimmers. But I was able to enjoy sitting in the little shallow area with my baby and three year old niece splashing about before carrying them out to the deeper ends. What’s also nice about the pool is that there was always some part shaded with the palm trees providing some coverage. The pool at the complex next door was always baking in the open sun – I never saw anyone out there. The managers were helpful with organising a cot for hire that they have onsite, but also work with Oz Baby Hire (highly recommend!) for all other baby items as needed. The only reason I didn't give our stay five stars was the cleanliness was a little disappointing when first checked in, the towels a bit thin/old and the air conditioning in the main living area needed maintenance - but that was handled for us very quickly (thank you!) If you’re after the real resort experience with luxe pool and room service etc. then yes, don’t stay here. But if you’re after easy self-contained convenience in a great location to get out and about with your kids then I don’t think you can beat this place. Hope to come back for another visit soon enough.
