Secluded hideaway yet convenient to amenities and attractions.
Thoroughly enjoyed or extended stay at St. CRISPINS! At various times we were joined by adult family and grandchildren. There was plenty of room to accommodate everyone comfortably, without feeling tight on space. The kitchen was well equipped, even including an air fryer! The beds were very comfortable. The only downside for us was the extremely uncomfortable couches. They were long past their 'use by date' as were the dining and outdoor chair pads, no life left in the foam at all. As we were in residence for a few weeks, this had quite an impact on us and our backs! An easy problem to rectify, however.
All in all, a good stay.

The perfect escape from chilly Melbourne
This property was perfect for what we were after. There was ample room for everyone to spread out, and having an ensuite in every bedroom was a definite plus with 7 girls!! The place was spotless and in a beautiful location overlooking the golf course. TV's in every room, and the living room tv complete with all the apps (netflix, disney etc). The backyard provided a quiet oasis to enjoy a cup of tea (or wine!) and a perfect place to soak up some sunshine by the pool. Only a 5 min drive into the centre of Port Douglas, I would definitely recommend this place to any large groups or families.
