The location
The Port Douglas Artist's Treehouse is in the heart of Port Douglas, close to the beach, the marina and the main street. Situated on a quiet street, overlooking the towering paper-bark trees. The Treehouse fronts the residential block of "Paper Bark Gardens".
Port Douglas offers something for everyone. The distinctive laid back atmosphere, the breathtaking beauty of the scenery, morning strolls along palm-fringed Four Mile Beach, world championship golf courses, the marina, five star restaurants, local artist's galleries, boutique designer stores finished off with relaxing moments in the sidewalk cafes.
The Farmer's Market every Sunday is a wonderful mix of arts, crafts and local produce. There are amazing experiences diving spectacular Great Barrier Reef that can not be missed. Try a refreshing swim in the crystal clear waters of Mossman Gorge, or Spring Creek to revitalise the soul. Go sailing, spend a day lazing on the many (most empty) beaches.
Laze the day away on nearby Low Isles. Hike scenic trails to Cape Tribulation where tropical rainforest and coral reef meet. The area is unique, a rainforest that has been in existence for more than 120 million years and contains some plant and animal species not seen anywhere else in the world. or take a cruise up river and come face to face with large crocodiles and pythons in their natural habitat from the comfort and safety of a cruise boat.or just spend quiet days lazing about in the Port Douglas Artist's Treehouse. The balmy tropical climate year around keeps visitors coming back to Port Douglas again and again.

We had an absolutely brilliant time. The treehouse was just amazing - I just loved it in everyway. The second day at the Treehouse we went down to the little wharf at the end of the street and happened upon a fishing boat just back from sea after 2 weeks fishing - we brought a red emperor and some cod fresh off the boat!! Delicious:) We swam in the sea every day after a big walk along the beach up the hill and down into town for our morning coffee. Loved the book lounge in town. Read our books lying on the comfy couches upstairs in the treehouse - a small little yellow bird flew in a couple of times and hung from the light fitting in the lounge. The decor was so charming -and I loved the windows and sliding doors. The mermaid table was very cool. So many lovely touches I can't list them all!! My husband was on a bit of quest to find the best lamingtons - so we sampled quite a few on our explorations into the areas around Port Douglas.. The whole time we were on holiday I just thought we were staying in the best place in Port Douglas - it was lovely coming back to "our place" to cook up our meals and try out the new and exotic fruits we couldn't resist buying.

This unique artistic home, offered us a great experience which was beyond hosting us in Port Douglas. The house has everything one needs for a great vacation (baskets for the beach, big towels and beach toys and a cute pool), has all needed to have a comfy homy experience (nice soaps, soft towels, clean everything) and fun options to have the meals - bar sitting, big table, chairs on the balcony with BBQ and more... Above all it has a great creative artistic style with a humorist touch that adds a special edge to the whole experience. So glad we found this location it is the icing on the cake of any stay at Port Douglas:).

We had a terrific week at the treehouse. The house is both stunning/ecletic and also very comfortable - with plenty of different spaces to chill out. And very kid friendly with a huge toy box & a bookcase full of kids books & Dvds - our 2 toddlers loved it. A few blocks walk from the beach in one direction & the main cafe strip in the other. Loved it & we would very happily visit again.

We were absolutely blown away when we arrived at the artists' treehouse. The decor is just so amazing!! It is unlike anything i have ever seen before - you can tell someone creative decorated!!
Every little detail is thought of from having some essential pantry items, to kids toys. There is so much information on what to do in Port Douglas and surrounds as well.
We took our 9 month old baby and it was heaven! Romantic and also family oriented. The owners have a little munchkin so they have thought of everything you would need for bubbas.
Everything was so comfortable and relaxing. The location is only 10 mins to town and probably less to the beach. As we are lazy (!) we sometimes wished we were a little closer to the beach or to town but being a little away from it all meant that it was extra relaxing. Also remember when going here or anywhere in FNQ that you have to be at one with nature - that means at times very loud birds! :)
I highly recommend this place for couples travelling together (without kids) or a family. We left feeling totally relaxed and felt that the generosity of the owners made for an extra special experience.
We are now in freezing cold, rainy Sydney and we cannot wait to go back to this place!!

The first time I saw this accommodation online I was hooked and it more than met my hopes for the perfect holiday. The house is amazing, creative, great facilities and all the comforts required. We stayed for 2 weeks and I could have moved in permanently. Tina and Matt have created a holiday home for the traveller who wants something unique. I will and have highly recommended it already and will be back.

We loved our stay the Artists��� Treehouse. The place has a magical feel - we fell in love with it. Its filled with so much character, we instantly felt right at home. It was quiet, private but really central - a walk to anywhere. The kids loved all the artwork and the ���feel��� of the place. There was room to spread out ��� they spent a lot of time downstairs playing games and we had some lovely romantic dinners upstairs. It was exactly what we needed. The pool was a great escape from the heat. Thanks for making such a special abode to enjoy Port Douglas from. The hardest part was leaving. We will be back!
