The Sanctuary Port Douglas - Paradise is waiting for you! (with heated pool)

From its exclusive hillside position this home offers a breathtaking panoramic view that encompasses Port Douglas, the Coral Sea and beyond to the Great Barrier Reef.
The surrounding rainforest provides privacy in a lush natural environment, while its convenient location offers easy access to Port Douglas and its attractions.
The Sanctuary’s design embraces Queensland’s tropical lifestyle with its vast space that can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 en-suite bedrooms over two levels.
The space
Entering the property is just the beginning of an exciting journey of discovery and a delight in itself. The secure gated driveway winds through the world heritage listed rainforest on its way to the hillside house parking area that includes garage space for three vehicles and outdoor space for several more.

To access the house the guests can use the front entry leading to the two living levels from the garage or alternatively use the ramp that takes you to the main (upper) living level. Both levels are wheelchair friendly.

Located on the upper main level are 3 king-size bedrooms each with their own en-suite and outstanding view. The 90m2 master bedroom features spacious closets, double vanity, large walk-in shower, jet spa bath and bidet.

The upper level also comprises the vast living and dining space featuring 2 large dining tables, comfortable couches and large screen TV. A fully equipped open kitchen with sea views (including dishwasher, oven, microwave and two large fridges and freezers) with separate pantry perfectly integrates with the living and dining areas. Just next to the kitchen the guests can access the laundry room equipped with washing machine and dryer, iron and ironing board. A stand alone guest powder room is also situated on this floor. The huge, full length front balcony takes full advantage of the ocean and the unique surrounding world heritage view.

A waterfall feature enhances the dreamlike tropical atmosphere in the rear entertaining and cocktail verandah situated just off the main living level.

The lower level is fitted out with another three generous king sized bedrooms (or two king single beds in each room on request) complete with en-suite bathrooms and their own spectacular view.
The substantial balconies in front of the rooms form a vast entertaining area connected to the pool entrance where the bar/kitchen facility is also located.

The glass-gated private pool facility contains the heated (in winter months) saltwater-chlorinated infinity swimming pool and heated spa, large wooden deck with sunshade umbrella, and comfortable sun lounges where guests can relax and enjoy the unimpeded 180-degree view.

There are fans throughout the house and ducted air-conditioning on both levels, which is rarely required because of the tropical sea breezes.

The Sanctuary is perfect for numerous families with children but also ideal for couples retreats or a group of friends travelling together.

24/7 inclusive Wi-Fi and 4G phone signal coverage throughout most of the house for music streaming.

Please note that driveway is very steep towards the end. We recommend driving in low gear. We check guests in on arrival and show them how to manoeuvre the driveway so that they are at ease for their stay.

Spectacular! As good as it gets in Port Douglas!
Spectacular – is the only word to describe THE SANCTUARY Port Douglas.
Lazing in the large horizon edge pool overlooking cane fields, Port Douglas
and the Coral Sea beyond it’s easy to leave the world behind.
Nestled in the tranquility of the surrounding rainforest yet only a few minutes
drive to Macrossan Street shops and restaurants we were amazed by the
feeling of calm and serenity in this grand tropical retreat.
Ocean view sunset cocktails lounging on the enormous balcony
will remain etched in our memory.

Breathtaking. You won't regret this stay.
This is one of the most amazing stays we've had . Our group consisted of 4 siblings and their respective families, and it was great! The view is breathtaking, the house is huge and location is remote enough but so close to Port Douglas! The photos make it look like its very secluded and remote - which it is, but only a very short drive into town and very close to the nearby shops.
Do yourself a favour, you won't regret this stay.

WOW - with a capital W.
WOW - with a capital W. What a fantastic property in a great location with awesome views. The property is very special and the
hospitality was really appreciated.

Hidden gem in the foothills of Port Douglas.
This is a hidden gem in the foot hills of Port Douglas. Although situated out of town its only 12 minutes drive into town. The house is surrounded by natural vegetation and the views of the surrounding hills and the sea line is outstanding. As you drive into the property you follow a small road twisting through the natural vegetation which kicks off the relaxation mode. The house is very open for sharing with each others with other sections of the house secluded to continue winding down and picking up a good book. There is something amazing to view from all parts of the house and you can't help but feel apart of the natural environment. Its a great place for families to stop and catch up with each other while enjoying the views. The adults kicked back while the kids lapped up the pool and spa.... it made for a very enjoyable week. The hospitality and cleanliness was an added bonus!
