How do I get to the Villa?
Flights: Cairns Airport in the township of Cairns is the closest airport to Port Douglas. It is approximately one hours drive.
Murphy Street runs parallel to the main town strip, Macrossan Street.
To find the Villa, when approaching Port Douglas on Davison Street, take the left onto Macrossan Street. Then, take the first right onto Owen Street then right again onto Murphy Street.
From there take the first left up what looks like a long driveway and keep following it around to the left. This street is quite steep. You will see the large gates and garage of the Villa on the right.
How many rooms/beds does the Villa have? Can I rearrange the bedding? What about portacots?
There are seven bedrooms: three king rooms and four queen rooms.
Unfortunately, bedding cannot be rearranged or made into singles.
The maximum number of guests staying at the property is 18.
There is the option of adding:
Two single rollaway beds at an additional cost of $50 per bed per night

You can book a different number of rooms for each night of your stay if you wish. The minimum number is four. All beds are made up for your arrival except in the case that you want to utilise the extra beds for later in your stay in which case we would have someone come in and make up the extra beds for you.
