Aqua - Pecten Port Douglas

A large house, accommodated 7 of us easily and with two living areas with TVs, had our own spaces. Every bedroom had air con which was fabulous when you are not used to the heat!It’s in a lovely quiet location, just a short stroll to the beach. The pool was great and there are plenty of places to sit outside.I can’t say it was the cleanest accommodation we’ve stayed. The kitchen was grubby and there were no cleaning supplies. After a lot of searching we found a decent cloth to wipe out the fridge, but no disinfectant/sprays for cleaning, only a couple of detergent sachets for the dishwasher and sink. The bucket in the laundry had a hole (we were looking to fill it with hot soapy water to wash off the large outdoor table) and be wary of the outdoor clothes line, it is broken. It can only handle about three towels before the arm comes out and falls onto your head! Ouch.The kitchen is fairly well equipped. We have food allergies so it is easier and safer to prepare food ourselves. The oven tray doesn’t actually fit the oven which was a bit of a challenge, but otherwise it has everything you need.The property manager was lovely and knowledgeable. Picking up the key and returning was easy and the house is just around the corner from them.Overall, a good place to stay for a large family group, just an under resourced in the cleaning department compared to other holiday homes we’ve stayed in the same area.

Was it nice

We was very impressed with the property very spacious it was lovely

very well enjoyed. Comfortable.Needed another throw for double bed as it was not available. Not enough dishwasher or laundry tablet, powder.

Great location, quiet but close to everything. House had plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen was wonderfully stocked with basics. Pool was great!
