Very centrally located apartment right on 4 mile beach. 2 good sized bedrooms, both with ensuites - perfect for 2 couples. Good sized living space with large balcony. Large parking bay. Peaceful area at night. Right opposite the Surf Life Saving Club and Surfy's Bar & Restaurant which is good value for money with great views of the beach. Loved having laundry facilities in the apartment. Very near to restaurants & supermarket. Marina is walkable 15 mins away. The pool and hot tub area is very nice. New bbq was installed while we were there. The general areas within the apartment were clean and tidy but window frames/sills were a bit dusty - did not affect our enjoyment of the space and area.

Great spot. Easy to walk to Four Mile Beach and the Main Street in Port Douglas. The unit was a little rundown and in need of a renovation. Some of the towels had black marks on them too (maybe a problem with the washing machine?!?!).The pool facilities and gardens were well maintained. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Point to note…there is a water area being built directly opposite. It could be noisy during construction but would be a great area for kids once completed.

The room we had was very run down and tired. There were tiles that were cracked and even lifting in parts. The lounge furniture and outdoor furniture was worn out. Apartment was very spacious and its position is perfect for any visit to Port Douglas being an easy walking distance to anywhere you want to visit while in town. Pool was kept at a really nice temperature for ease of getting in. Has got a lot of potential for being an amazing place to stay but the rooms are in dire need of a refurb before I would be interested in staying here again.

The apartment is a bit dated but Spacious. We knew there were no lifts before we booked. Reception offered to help with bags but we were fine. There was a problem with the hot water and that was fixed the next day. It must have been the low season when we stayed for a week. My only Gripe is the pool collected leaves and stuff every day and was only cleaned once. Which took some enjoyment away from the pool area. This apartment is a short walk to the Main Port Douglas shopping street with plenty of choices for restaurants.

We recently stayed 3 nights (not long enough!) as a family of four (2 under 5) in a 2-bed apartment and it was perfect. Full kitchen, spacious room, they were also very accommodating with a high chair and portacot. Four Mile beach is basically across the road. The best part was the pool. My kids love swimming and even the 2 year old was able to splash around because of the extra large step which spans the full length of the pool. Fantastic. Will definitely return!

This property was pretty disappointing. It was run down and the room was dirty. With rotting skirting boards and out dated furniture, as well as a kitchen that was not well stocked. 1 tea towel for a 5 night stay, no oven trays, and the labels on the oven were worn off. The taps in the bath didn't work, and i spent an hour cleaning the place before we unpacked. The alfresco was covered in a million dead bugs, the clothes airer was rusted and unusable. The place needs a lot of TLC.
The foyer was covered in bugs and not cleaned, the pool toys were old and broken. There was mould on the pool loungers and the bbq was only usable on one side.
The owners seemed nice, but much upkeep is needed here. Location is good and easy to walk to the main street and beach.
Has potential but we wouldn't stay here again.

Couldn't fault our stay, host Martin and his Team were more than accommodating and nothing was of too much trouble. The only complaint if I label it that were that we could hear the apartment above us quite clearly. Not voices, but banging and loud movement noises, wasn't the end of the world only a little annoying. Great location, close to beach and shops, and we were provided with a few little extras that are appreciated when on holiday and you don't wish to buy yourself i.e. chairs for beach, umbrellas, sunscreen/bug repellent by the pool (we did have our own). Foxtel included which was handy.

Spacious apartment in a great location

Stayed at Port Douglas for 8 nights on a recent trip with my husband and friends when visiting Australia. We chose Mowbray by the sea as we wanted a 2 bedroom apartment with two bathrooms close to everything. Prior to arrival I was contacted by Lisa enquiring as to our flights details and whether we needed a transfer from the airport. I arranged this via Mowbray, the price was the same if I’d arranged this direct. The cost was added to my room bill which I settled at the end of my stay. We arrived after reception should have been closed but Martin the owner/manager stayed on to see us and give us our room key and any information we needed. The apartment was very spacious, clean and had all the amenities we required including laundry facilities and a pool. The decor is a bit dated and in a traditional Australian style but we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming in particular the manager.

The apartment was within walking distance of the beach, the marina and the numerous, cafes, restaurants and bars in Port Douglas. We used the pool most days when we weren’t on day trips, no issues getting a sun bed, was never too busy and was perfect for cooling down in the hot weather. I had a fantastic time visiting Port Douglas and would highly recommend Mowbray by the sea to anyone considering a visit.

Excellent location

The 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor was spacious enough for 4 adults . The balcony was a favourite spot with its Balinese inspired furniture including a day bed with the tree tops and birds at eye level. There is no lift but the manager assisted with the luggage. We were located a couple of minutes walk from 4 mile beach, flagged swimming area, and about 7 minutes walk to the main shopping area. The pool area is fantastic with a 1.5 metre deep lap pool, spa and shallow area on the edge of the lap pool. Kitchen was well equipped and beach towels were supplied at no cost. The manager is very friendly and informative.

Close to beach and an easy walk to shopping centre

The apartment was very spacious and contained everything we needed. Martin the manager was most helpful and carried our bags up to our apartment for us as we were elderly. They were in a quiet area and handy to everything thing . We will certainly stay there again if we go back to Port Douglas

Right next to the beach! Superb!

It was comfortable and the hosts were really friendly. The garage remote didn’t work and our car was locked in for the first night. We decided to park just outside the apartment from the second day. Lovely apartment that was literally 2 minutes away from the four mile beach.

Had a lovely time at Mowbray by the Sea.
Large, clean, bright apartment, almost right next to the sea and to Macrossan St - couldn't be more convenient. The pool is lovely and HEATED. We stayed the previous week in a top resort at Palm Cove - gorgeous, but a freezing pool. I swam in this one every day.
No complaints whatsoever

Great Family Friendly Apartment

Recently returned to the UK having had a week at Mowbray by the Sea as part of a month in Australia with our young family (2 children, 3.5 & 9 months).

The apartments are perfect for families, with a great location close to the beach, the centre of Port Douglas and the harbour for GBR tours. The pool is fantastic - our three year old loved it, as well as chatting with the owner, Martin!

Right from our arrival Martin was helpful, friendly and always keen to pass the time of day and offer advice (special thanks for the Outer Reef Tour recommendation!).

Highly recommended.

Lovely apartment complex close to everything

Nice big apartment. Perfect location for parent with 2 teenage boys. One back from beach just a few minutes walk into central Port Douglas. Our host Martin made us feel so welcome. Lovely big pool with BBQ facilities and outside dining option. Own covered balcony with fan. Quiet location away from main road.3 air con units with ceiling fans inside to keep cool in December heat. Hope to revisit.
