We had a really great stay at the Birch Hotel in Port Douglas. The staff were absolutely wonderful and very welcoming. Our room was clean, and had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable trip. One of the absolute highlights was the communal cooking and BBQ area. It is fully stocked with everything you need to prep and cook your own meals. We made an incredible breakfast on the BBQ with bacon, eggs, pork sausages, mushrooms, and halloumi cheese—all while looking out over the beautiful pool area. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again

A nice hotel a little way out of town (25 min walk or 5 mins with a transport service), and a little less to 4 mile beach. They had a decent sized pool and the room was clean and a good size. Friendly staff who were happy to look after bags after checkout so I could go out for the day close to the wildlife habitable

Beautiful Clean and well presented motel room. Great garden patio area out the back for some privacy. Pool is the perfect treat for a dip in the humid weather. Super close to town. 15 min walk 3 min drive. Staff were exceptionally helpful and good hosts. Extra pillows in the room would have been a god send. Definately keep this motel in mind for our next visit. Thanks Birch Resort PD.

We had a great time at Port Douglas. These rooms are nice, without being terribly expensive. We stayed here for four days while exploring different areas around town. The owners/caretakers were friendly, and the pool was nice. You are within a few minutes drive of the main tourist street and the harbor to get out on the reef. Short 20-30 minute drive to the daintree, mossman gorgeous, or hartleys. While certainly nothing fancy, it made a great hub for our adventure and would certainly stay here again if I was in the area. If you are looking for a place to explore from, I would recommend staying here.

The room itself is very spacious, the bed was comfortable and it had a brand new blanket. Things that needed attention: Safety concerns: •The doors did not lock between the adjoining rooms (6 and 7) • smoke alarm detector was hanging open with no battery, i saw a review from September that stated the same, not sure if it was the same room. a friend was in unit 5 and had no smoke detector at all, another friend in unit 4 had detector. General: The room was not clean, finger nails, clumps of hair, dust balls in the main room. Bathroom still had toothpaste in the sink, on tiles and mirror in bathroom Sink countertop had not been cleaned. The bed felt like it may have had a broken slat, sleep on other side. Two very flat pillows for a king twin, was not enough, had to use both pillows, folded in half. No one was on site when we arrived but once we made contact, with someone in Townsville, the manager (?) did return, she was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I did not see her on site again (over 3 days) the reception remained locked. A temporary manager (?, we were told) did pop by on the last day, to clean the room as she thought we were checking out. Wifi did not work in rooms, but could outside. There looked like there may have been a cafe or restaurant type area, part way under construction/deconstruction (hard to tell which) The gardens that the sliding door of the rooms open out to, need a bit of love and care, same with the other shared area’s, kitchen, laundry etc. Patches of slimey water along the main walkway outside rooms. Pool was lovely, new pool lounges and umbrella’s. To call it a resort, may be going a little too far in its present condition and state.
