"Good location to visit surrounding areas. We stayed in a deluxe cabin and a standard cabin for 2 nights. Comfortable room sizes. Pool could use couple more chairs or loungers for guests to use. Landscaping opportunities around the property to alleviate less mud build-up might want to be considered. Easy check-in, check out. Suggest pack food, or have a set of wheels to get to the few available restaurants."

Top Cow Bay Hotel Reviews

Birch Resort Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean. Bed wasn't the most comfortable I have slept in but would stay here again."

Daintree Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this place! We were in the couples glamping tent and it was amazing. Bonus to be there on a Friday and Saturday night with live music, food truck, bar and a great vibe. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Highly recommend,"

Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Location was good, room was clean and well maintained. Gym was small but functional. Staff were helpful organising transfers."

By The Sea Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"This is the place to stay in Port Douglas. Everything is fabulous about By The Sea but it is the staff who make your holiday the absolute best. Friendly, cheerful, helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation is excellent & everything is there for you to have a wonderful holiday."

Coral Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Private rooms but shared spaces and kitchen encourages community. Restaurant had great pricing and food, though food took a while. Staff were incredibly friendly, nice clean space in the room and around the property. Great location to everything in port Douglas and Mossman"

Bay Villas Resort

8/10 Good

"Good location about 10 mins walk off the main strip"

Mantra PortSea

10/10 Excellent

"Let me start off by saying that we had a wonderful stay at the Mantra PortSea. The staff at the Mantra PortSea were fantastic. The apartment was clean and big enough for our family of five. We had the sofa bed converted to a bed for our stay. We had a small kitchen that meant we were regular visitors to Coles to buy some food and drink for our stay. The lack of on-site restaurant/kitchen was a bit of a pain point. The Lagoon Bar was open from 12pm-5pm but only serves fries and deep fried fish/tenders/calamari which is a bit limited for lunch options. The salt water pools at the hotel are lovely and the beach is a short walk. It’s a short walk up the beach to an area of sun loungers and lifeguarded sea swimming. We went on a croc sighting tour and the croc guys advised against swimming in the sea at four mile beach even though it’s monitored so we stayed out of the ocean. The included breakfast buffet was fairly limited but served us just fine. There’s pretty good choice of cold breakfast items, and we were advised of this when booking. We walked the ten minutes up four mile beach every day into Port Douglas which has a bunch of shops, bars, and restaurants available. One of our favourite breakfast/lunch spots was Cafe Fresq. We stayed at the Mantra PortSea for two weeks and were advised ahead of time that room servicing was only every four days. The room was only serviced twice during our stay but ideally it needs servicing slightly more because it gets quite sandy."

Reef Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"It is an old resort, very close to the beach and the heart beat of Port Douglas. Very good value for money"

Silky Oaks Lodge, Beckons

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, stunning accommodation and surrounding areas, the staff were friendly, attentive, remembered my son’s allergies at every meal and happily accommodated his requirements. Very clean, would love to return."
