whilst we do need full credit card details to finalise your booking, we do not take any money until you arrive and you do not have to pay with that credit card.  You can pay debit, credit, cash or direct deposit in to our bank account. 

Please note we do not accept American Express and if you choose to pay by credit card there is a 1% surcharge

By order of our bank manager (to whom we owe a lot of money) we have to stick to our cancellation policy, so please ensure your travel insurance covers for this please!  Our Cancellation terms are standard and are as follows. 

• Before 28 days of booked arrival, there is no fee at all
• 8-28 days before arriving there is a one night fee
• Within 7 days we have to take the full amount of the booking

By the Sea Port Douglas is open every day  from  8.00 – 5.30pm, except for Sundays when we close at 3pm.  If you are arriving out of those times it is not a problem:  We leave your room unlocked with the key inside. 

And you will find a note in reception on our notice board which will provide information as to how to find your room.   We also leave beach towels in your room, so you can have a dip in the ocean or in our heated pool. 

And we look forward to seeing you in the morning

The journey from the airport, once you have left Cairns, to Port Douglas is stunning.  No resort here in Port Douglas is large enough to have their own airport transfer service but we are very happy to organize a transfer for you.  All we need is your flight details and we will book it for you and put the cost on you r room account.
