Wayfarer Apartment in Port Douglas

Wayfarer is a beautifully renovated 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of Port Douglas, designed in the spirit of the fun loving seafarers, explorers of the Tropics and all other gypsies who love all of the 21st century mod cons. Only 5 minutes from the main street and the stunning Four Mile beach, Wayfarer is the perfect nook for 2 couples holidaying together or for a couple with 2 children. Ideally located and superbly appointed, this apartment will be one of the highlights of your holiday. The apartment has just undergone a full renovation which gave us the opportunity to unleash our creativity and showcase our fascination with Far North Queensland and the South Pacific. The apartment has two bedrooms, one king size and another king that can be split into two singles, one bathroom and a large kitchen and dining/lounge area overlooking the garden. For those of you who have young children we can provide a cot, cot linen, a stroller and a high chair, not to mention children's toys and books! The residents of Cascades hardly use the pool so you are very likely to have it all for yourself while staying at the apartment. Guests will have access to the whole apartment and parking space We're a phone call away! Let us know if you need assistance or recommendations, we'll be happy to help! The Cascades units are located within walking distance of the supermarket in town, the beach, or even the marina. Enjoy a quick walk or a bike ride into town and enjoy the wealth of wildlife on the Melaleuca forest strip around the corner. From Wayfarer it is a 7 minute walk into town along the what is left of Port Douglas' Melaleuca forest or a 2 minute bike ride into Macrossan Street. Walking and bike riding should be on top of your list when it comes to getting around but you can also catch a bus along Davidson street, 20 meters around the corner from the apartment.
