Garrick House

We loved our apartment. I was fresh modern and clean apart from a slight bit of mold stuck up under the shelf in the shower (it is a humid place). It was great having a bedroom for us and one for the kids. We enjoyed the balcony out the front as well and we all enjoyed the pool which was clean and lovely and warm with facilities if you wanted to cook outdoors. It was only a short walk the main street, beach, walking trail, and the bars/restaurants. The free onsite parking was also an added bonus for us with a hire car. We also loved the addition of book shelf you could help yourself too during our stay (our kids love reading books). The staff were very helpful with good attractions and places to eat, along with some hot local tips you wouldn't otherwise know, and they always greeted us when they saw us during our stay. The washing machine and clothes dryer were also helpful for doing a load of washing part way through our stay, particularly with the kids.

There wasn't anything that we didn't like. We could've done with an extra couch/arm chair in our room but we weren't in there overly much during the day, just in the evenings.

Almost everything

Plumbing in the bathrooms/ WC Toilet had to be repeatedly flushed to remove waste. Taps definitely were not working well, both sinks. Frying pans were in need of binning, impossible to work with, remember the cook top is glass so pans were also sliding around. All that is required is a visit from a Plummer, and some serious thought about replacement of some kitchen equipment.

Perfect spot to explore Port Douglas and beyond. Exceptionally comfortable, well appointed with a full size kitchen, plus jumping in the pool after a long day was perfect. Loved the location, quiet but a very easy walk into town or to Four Mile Beach, especially compared to being in one of the resorts. Free parking on site and lots of info about things to see and do in the area. Would recommend and definitely stay again!

Felt a tad dated but in no way impacted our stay or view on the accommodation.

Garrick House is in a fantastic location right between the main strip and the beach. Literally a 2 minute walk. The hotel is in a beautiful building surrounded by lush gardens and very well maintained by the owners. We stayed in a ground floor 2 bed apartment that was very comfortable especially with prams and kids, and very spacious. Lovely heated pool and BBQ facilities that were very clean. Also great wifi connection.

The pool was a bit small compared to other properties but still really nice! Kids loved it!

Olivia and Al were great, it’s a lovely family run business. Kept so well, Al was always cleaning and gardening the lovely surrounds. communal areas were spotless, the apartments had all the mod cons and were spotless and modern. I had to call/ email in advance of our stay and Olivia was quick to respond and super helpful. Really lovely feel. Great location too, short walk to the beach and into town.

nothing.

Great location, close to everything and still really quiet, minimal traffic on the street. Staff were great, very helpful with all queries including booking tours etc.

Apartment we stayed in is a bit dated, needs a few repairs. Floor tiles broken and move when you walk on them with chunks of grout coming out. Shower leaked, the washing machine is rusty and didn’t stop automatically when the selected cycle finished.

Garrick house was great was so close to everything beach was less then a 5 min walk , Main Street of port bout the same , 15 min to the marina great if your doing any of the trips that leave from their.

I will say the walls are very thin we had a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor bedrooms were right next to each other. we also had a couple with small children stay in the unit above us we could hear everything even their child crying at 3 in the morning. But this definitely wouldn’t stop us from coming back as every place will always have a wee tiny fault.

・The location was outstanding. Walking distance to Macrossan Street, Four Mile Beach and Rex Smeal Park. ・The building is a little old, but it was kept clean and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen and dishes. ・The pool is heated, so even on a chilly day, it was nice to swim. ・The owners were very kind and nice.

Nothing. Very Good Hotel.

Location close to beach and main street. Pool was clean There were sufficient toiletries,washing powder,toilet paper,coffee and tea Staff were helpful and pleasant Air conditioning was very effective.

The main problem was the very strange connection between the bathroom/toilet,wardrobe and the bedroom.The sliding doors made it difficult to be private in one area or the other.Very cluncky sliding doors. The units are looking very tired No lifts

Close to 4 Mile Beach and the main street, it was the perfect location. Pool area was great too!

Disruptive noise from all the works being carried out. The only other thing worth mentioning is that the range hood over the stove did not work which meant any cooking we did, the smell lingered.
