Freestyle Resort Port Douglas

Fabulous self-catering apartments, within a 10 minute walk to the main shopping and restaurant street in Port Douglas. Within a 10 minute walk to the beautiful 4 mile beach. The apartments have everything you need from cutlery to the dishwasher. They also supply hair dryer, iron and ironing board. There are guest laundry facilities on site and reception will give you free sachets of detergent too. Our apartment had a garden /tree view and a nice table and chair set up outside. Air con and fans made a big difference too to our comfort when the heat of the day got a bit much. Swimming pool is heated which was lovely in May when although very hot and humid the water temperatures can be very chilly.

We had a great stay. Jason and Anne were very accommodating and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. Location was great with only a short stroll to town. Look forward to returning soon.

We recently stayed at Freestyle Resort in Port Douglas and found the property itself to be lovely. The resort has a relaxed, tropical feel with beautiful gardens, a well-maintained pool area, and a great location—just a short walk to both the beach and the main street. It’s a peaceful and convenient spot that made for an enjoyable holiday base. We stayed in a privately owned Airbnb unit within the resort, which was well-appointed and comfortable. However, during our stay, we made a small and reasonable request at the front desk. While we understand that we weren’t booked directly through the resort, we had hoped for a little more flexibility or understanding. The staff member we spoke to remained polite but was ultimately unable to assist, and the interaction felt a bit impersonal. This experience, while minor, did influence our overall impression. We had genuinely been considering staying at Freestyle again—this time booking directly through the resort to enjoy the full range of services. However, the lack of support with our request has led us to decide otherwise. It’s unfortunate, as the resort itself is very appealing, but guest experience matters—and in this case, it was just enough to sway our decision not to return. Response to the onsite mangers reply being: To ask the onsite manager to solve a problem in your Airbnb apartment is like asking the manger of the hotel over the road to fix a problem in your room. ----------- Well, this goes to show the level of service. I am sure the Airbnb Host pays body corp and the like. Nothing like shining a light on a lack of service an the managers attitude.
