WE'LL LOOK AFTER YOU
We are here to look after you. No agents. No middle people. You talk and deal direct with the local owners.
.
We have worked hard creating a resort style holiday rental with personality, warmth and comfort. We often find most holiday homes lack these things. Bland comes to mind. We don't want this for you.

The attention to detail put into the home is evident in the many photos available (taken April 2013 or Dec 2012). No surprises when you arrive. We want Orchid Hill to match your expectations with space adults and kids would like to retreat too after shopping, the beach or a trip on the reef. Or relax and never leave the house and pool. It is your time and Orchid Hill is your place to enjoy however best you do it.

Highly recommend this property for a luxurious stay in the stunning Port Douglas. My mother stayed here with the family, I stayed here the night before my wedding and got ready at the house the morning of the wedding. The house was a beautiful setting for both photographs as well as UK TV show, Masterchef. They filmed myself and my bridal party getting ready in the house :) Would gladly come back to stay here!

I loved it!
This house was gorgeous and so homely. It was perfect for us and really made our holiday one of the best we have had in years. The pool was just enough to cool us down and the kitchen had everything you could want to make some goumet meals.
Would highly recommend and would love to go back again.
