We had a fabulous stay at Saltwater and the accommodations were perfect. The location was convenient and near all the restaurants and shopping! We were less than a 5 minute walk to the Four Mile Beach and we enjoyed our morning runs there. Thank you, Paul for all of your help during our stay.

This was our 3rd time staying in PD, first time at Saltwater - which was absolutely amazing. The location right in town on Macrossan is awesome. It is right in the middle of everything, but still very quiet in the room. So much easier than grabbing a shuttle all the time if you stay at the resorts out of town which we had done previously. Staff were very kind, kids loved the pool. Apartments are spacious with high ceilings and a nice outlook from balcony. We will be back!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The property felt like home and had everything we needed. Sandy was awesome at getting us set up and booking trips for us too. They do provide a set up supply of toiletries and toilet paper and tea and coffee etc but then you need to buy your own supplies. this was fine as the supermarket is a two minute walk away. the location is central to the main shopping area and a five minute walk to the beach. We had the best time ever.

Property is great with everything you need, centrally located, very walkable. Management office helped extensively on booking excursions but, duplicated one activity. Be sure to have made all plans for your stay prior to paying for anything. Also, Internet connectivity is horrible. I was getting 2MB per second. At home I have a Gig (500 times faster) They need to have 10MB at a minimum for a normal customer.

The property was a good size in a very good location. Communication and on-site help/assistance was top notch. Pool and surrounding area was as good as it looks and warm. Amenities wise, the dishwasher not working as it should and nor was the clothes dryer. The wi-fi connection was intermittent and terrible and is not really acceptable in this day and age at this price point.

Port Douglas Regulars......

The service by Jason was outstanding from the moment we pulled up outside the apartment block.
The pool deck is fabulous with plenty of day beds/sun lounges and perfect pool temperature.
Unfortunately our apartment was directly on Macrossan Street, so the late night noise from people on the street and also using the ATM (right under our bedroom window), made it difficult to get a good night sleep. Also, the apartment had a very uncomfortable leather lounge and the ensuite bathroom didn't have a door dividing it from the main bedroom.

We have just returned from a wonderful 12 night stay at Saltwater Luxury Apartments. We had a two bedroom apartment overlooking the pool with mountain views to accommodate our family of four adults. Ample living room space, two bathrooms with a well appointed kitchen and in apartment laundry facilities. Jason and Nathan were wonderful hosts who looked after us very well and accommodated any requests swiftly. Great location in the main street and far enough away from the pubs, so there is no noise at night time. This was our 5th stay in Port Douglas,however our first at Saltwater, we will definitely stay there again on our next trip.

Nice room, just short of luxurious

The room was very spacious, we would have preferred a slightly nicer smaller room but this would be a great room for a family with slightly older children/child (bedrooms not very close for young children and access to bathroom). The location in town with easy 5-10 minute walk to beach or marina was perfect. We did not use the pool, but it is small though adequate as it did not get much use. There is some noise from being right in town and the birds were surprisingly noisy (I guess typical especially for spring) but it did not bother us much. The room was nice and modern - not especially luxurious. Internet is very spotty, TV gets minimal channels (but who's watching tv!), and housekeeping is only once a week. You have to wash your own towels and dishes and take your own trash out, but the kitchen is well stocked for any cooking you want to do on your own.

Bit too noisy

Great location and very friendly hosts but very noisy. The starlings on the tree outside make a racket. A bit of a strange air conditioning layout as well. Air conditioner in the kitchen/lounge and second bedroom but not in the main bedroom. You could leave open louvers to the lounge but this presents a problem with kids in the morning so the main bedroom was too hot. Overall, not value for the pretty high price. We also had a balcony but the weird high canopy outside meant we really had no view. WiFi was also very poor.

Does the Job

Great location, however, there are areas where the floor, rather than being a suspended slab is timber with a tile overlay. The noise transference when people, who are even walking normally, move across is phenomenal into the rooms.
We had a room with a massive spa, which is great. Unfortunately the shower is also inside the spa. The large granite slab that surrounds it makes it virtually impossible to safely climb in and out - forget the elderly.
Probably time to upgrade the beds, especially when there is room to make them King rather than Queen beds, and perhaps King Singles rather than the standard single beds in the second room.
Apartments are a very good size and the amenities provided are excellent.
Very good and popular restaurant in the complex. Undercover parking which is great in the tropical heat.
Air conditioning also excellent, another necessity in the tropics.

Central to everything

Loved the venue and location
Only small negatives were mouldy smell when we first checked in (most of which cleared after leaving windows open, but still some residual on furniture, which could be addressed by having different covering on couches etc) and late night noise, which I know can't be avoided.
Oil area great for sunbathing
