Everything Else

177 steps from your front gate to the beach. This part of the beach is fantastic, away from the hustle, all you will find are shells, coconuts and palms. We love to start the day with a walk, bliss!

Great to have lunch here - right on the beach!! Their lunch menu is brilliant - the Fish Taco's / Huge Sushi are my fav's. Great for those who need a bit of shade after being on the beach (and a loo!) Very casual but great food!

Easy walk from house. (Short cut via Ramada Resort if you can find it) cross over Port Douglas Rd, into St Cripins Ave which is opposite Ramada Resort and your first right into Escape Street. Handy cafe with great coffee and food. Steam train calls in here also and runs through to the Marina - grab a timetable. Kids will love it :)

Fantastic views and ambience in this classy outdoor bar at the Marina. Groovy, hip, day beds to while away. Call in after a sunset cruise perhaps or just on your way to dinner - watch the boats come in.

Just opened in late June...overlooks the boats on the Marina, great for those who like boutique beers with a view. They also have my favourite champas, Pipers Brook from Tasmania!

Great for little kids, people that dont want to go out to far on the water and those that want to see a croc! Very gentle old paddle steamer with a very informative guide, goes up the inlet looking for crocs and wildlife. Our kids love this tour!
