The light-filled open-plan living area brings together a comfortable lounge, dining space and fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to unwind after a day exploring the reef, rainforest or beach.

Guest Access:
Guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire cottage, including the private entrance, undercover carport, tropical courtyard and covered outdoor entertaining area.
There is also private gate access to the shared swimming pool within the complex.
The Neighborhood:
Located on quiet Mudlo Street, Paperbark Cottage is perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of Port Douglas while still offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Just a short stroll away is vibrant Macrossan Street, home to boutique shopping, cafes, restaurants, and local bars. Four Mile Beach and the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina are also within a leisurely walking distance, making it easy to enjoy beach days, reef tours, sunset drinks, and dining without needing the car. The surrounding area offers a relaxed tropical village feel, with beautiful palm-lined streets, lush gardens and a mix of holiday accommodation and permanent residents. Even a couple of local restaurants at the end of the street.
Getting Around:
Paperbark Cottage is conveniently located close to many of Port Douglas’ main attractions. The main street of town, Macrossan Street, is an easy 10 – 15 minute walk away, as is Four Mile Beach and Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina. The Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, is where many reef and fishing tours depart. Most guests find Port Douglas very easy to explore on foot, however a car can also be convenient for visiting nearby attractions such as Mossman Gorge, the Daintree Rainforest, and surrounding beaches. There are also local buses and pushbike hire if you are wanting to venture “around town” a little bit more.
Other Things to Note:
The second bedroom contains a King single bed with an additional single trundle bed. The trundle bed is best suited to a child or younger guest rather than an adult.
Paperbark Cottage is located within a small residential complex of just eight residences. We ask guests to respect neighbours and keep noise to a minimum, particularly during the evening hours.
