The location was fantastic. The apartment was huge, we were in the deluxe 3 bedroom apt and it had everything including a full kitchen, 3 huge bedrooms, two bathrooms, 2 sun loungers, a huge wrap around balcony which we loved spending the afternoons on! The apartment was across the road from the beach and around the corner from the main street of Port Douglas. We loved walking to the marina every night. We had a secure undercover parking spot for our rental car underneath. We loved using the pram and sand toys available to us. The markets on Sunday were just lovely. The pool was ok.

The pool could have done with a bit of a revamp. The beds were a little hard. We also would have loved some fly screens on the windows so that we could open a window without letting in flies, but it was ok we had the windows closed and fans on (it just would have been awesome to have the windows open to hear the waves of the ocean at night). The pool was ok, but you can also use the other resort pools if you need more space.

All was excellent - pool area needed new umbrellas but this happened while we were there.

Airconditioning was set at 22 which was a little too cold at night but there was a sign to say not to touch the settings. Would have liked it higher at night as it was a little cold. Also could have had more cutlery. If it was a full house, it would have been annoying.

The location overlooking the beach was amazing. The balcony in unit 5 had a great view and the breeze from the beach kept the apartment cool. The living space was massive and light and bright. The bed very comfortable and the kitchen was fully functional. A really enjoyable place to stay.

Pool was starting to show signs of age.

Fantastic location near the beach and the main street. Has a large pool as well as a toddler pool. Well-equipped kitchen and spacious main bedroom, bathrooms and living area. Very well maintained. Owner/managers were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to any families visiting Port Douglas!

Nothing

Great location with less than a 5 min walk in to town or to the beach. The apartment was also well presented and quite spacious with its own entrance to the pool.

The apartment only had central air conditioning which meant that regulating the temperature in each of the rooms was difficult, especially at night.

A beautiful, spacious apartment and very clean Very close to the beach across the road and the main shopping street, within very easy walking distance. We loved it and would definitely stay again. A big thanks to Lynette and Andrew

A bit of a noisy airconditioner but we got used to it. Worked very well though which was a plus

Lynette and Andrew went above and beyond our expectations. So helpful in organising unexpected, last minute pick up and late night check in. Friendly and great accommodation in a very convenient location. Close to most things but still quiet and peaceful.

large space with oversized verandah. perfect for a group. wonderful pool and easy walk to the beach and shops. clean, good easy to use kitchen.

hard for us to locate outside rubbish disposal area. “in the car park” was not clear. a little map of the premises would help. new BBQ was excellent but how to clean advice needs tweaking.

N/A

Nothing could have been better !! Loved every thing about Balboa. Most friendly hosts. They never stop looking after everything and everybody. Thanks Andrew and Lynette.

Location was excellent and the hostess was very helpful .The apartment was very spacious for the group of 6 people

Port Douglas in late February was very quiet with a lot of the bars and restaurants closing very early.
