84%Parrot Fish Lodge

The Parrotfush is a great place to stay- theres free breaky AND free dinner and free bike hire. Cool, helpful staff and its a 5 minute walk to the beach. If you're in Cairns they offer a free shuttle all the way up to Port Douglas! The food is amazing and the pool is very nice check it out...

The manager was kind of weird, but the rest of the staff were cool and the location and facilities were sweet.

Great location and facilities with helpful staff and extras such as free breakfast and bike hire. Only suggestion would be to put a thin blanket or duvet on single beds- a bit chilly at night sometimes. However, I was given an extra sheet when I asked for it.

This was an introductory hostel experience for my teenage daughters. This was a noisy party hostel, people partying in the pool until 0530 in the morning, . Kitchen was poorly stocked with utensils. This is probably a OK hostel if your a 20 something, . Also, we stayed at the Beach House in...

Not much to say about this hostel, it served its purpose. Great location, clean but get the feeling the staff would prefer to be elsewhere and surprisingly its a bit noisy. Breakfast is toast,tea and cereal.

Excellent central location, good breakfast included, new manager is very friendly, mingles with everyone and listens to any issues they may have, great work. Lovely clean pool and sun loungers to chill on a hot day. I'd recommend this hostel.

This is absolutely one of the best hostels I´ve ever been. The staff was the best. They did everything they could (and more) to help you with tripbooking etc. I would love to go back to Port Douglas only because of Parrot Fish Lodge.

This is a fantastic place to stay. It is in the centre of town. The staff are very helpful and great fun, organising games in their bar at night. Id highly recommend this place.

Parrot Fish lodge is an excellent place to base yourself to explore the area. Clean, spacious rooms. A must. Lonely planet gave it rave reviews and I have stayed here in 2003 and now again in 2006. Worth a visit.
