    Very peaceful place. Exceptional care by staff. Spacious room with everything you need to self- cater in well set-up kitchenette. Bath separate to shower is a luxury. Nice little pool with spa and guest BBQ was well- utilised. Other people’s reviews were helpful and correct. Very glad I stayed at the Lazy Lizard!

    Fantastic stay at the lazy lizard. Very clean . Loved the heated pool which was also very clean and well looked after. Alex and Aidan were very friendly. Loads of advice on places to visit. One of the nicest places we have stayed in will definitely return next we visit from England 🇬🇧. Thanks guys 😊

    Charming bargain away from the noise of central Port Douglas

    We loved this hotel. The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and the location in proximity to the beach and town were nice -- a quiet corner, but not too far. But what set this hotel apart from many others we've stayed in were the little touches. There's a gas grill that's free to use -- including all the grilling tools and a charming sign giving tips on making the most of your barbecue. In the laundry facilities (cheaper than the laundromat down the street), there's a box where people place their leftover sunscreen, bug repellent, detergent, and other useful things. We took some and we left some. Saved us money. The items in the mini fridge included a free milk, and some sodas and waters. The sodas were cheaper than I found them in the shops, when usually hotels charge way too much. We had a medical situation arise while we were there, and the hotel host helped us figure out what to do. The pool was also really nice -- heated, and with deep ends and shallow ends. We were charmed by this hotel.

    We stayed at the Lazy Lizard for 1 week with 3 adults and a 10 month old. Our room as well as the motel facilities were amazing and exactly what we needed for a family stay. Aidan was incredibly kind and helpful, and helped us plan pretty much all of our activities for the week. All of his recommendations were spot on. We highly recommend the Lazy Lizard, and will happily stay again!

    Parking was a little tight with some people parking at the end of bays as opposed to in bays because they had trailers.

    A little pricey, but after several weeks in a tent it was a nice change. Poop was absolutely lovely, spa not heated but warm enough. Little kitchenette in the room was sufficient to not have to go out and spend more money, and bathroom nice sized. Great to see the all abilities inclusion in the bathroom with shower chair and ramps in place if needed.

    Facilities were as advertised and the room was clean and quiet. Aiden at reception was really helpful. After a short conversation about what I wanted from my holiday, he was able to recommend a day snorkelling tour, gave me a brochure and then made the booking after I’d had some time to decide. He was able to provide a lot of information on other things to do in the area as well as where to eat. Beach towels were provided
