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.
As good as it gets in Port Douglas – LEIGH RATCLIFFE

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!

Absolutely an amazing place to stay!
Absolutely an amazing place to stay, very secluded and the wildlife is amazing as is the pool and the entire property, very easy to immediately feel right at home.

    We booked Sanctuary for a getaway with mates. We were looking for privacy in a beautiful location, close to town for restaurants and other activity. The place was ideal, pool deck and view the obvious highlight.

    Iseal, upmarket escape. The house was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate a special occasion. Every bedroom had it's own ensuite. Great entertaining area, and good kitchen facilities. Wonderful pool and spa. Secluded and private. Would highly recommend.

    This house is amazing. Perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. Just be mindful it has a very steep driveway that we didn't know about until we got there. Some things a little dated but over all a fantastic experience to make lots of memories. break.

    What an amazing home to have spend a wonderful week with family. The perfect size for a large family group, plenty of space and a beautiful heated pool and outlook that kept adults and kids entertained for hours. Heather, Tony & Cam were so helpful and made our stay easy and comfortable. We cannot wait to go back to the Sanctuary!

    We loved our stay at The Sanctuary. We made use of every inch of the house and spent hours each day relaxing around the pool and hot tub. Port Douglas was super busy, so it was great to have this private retreat to return to after our explorations. Cam, Tony, and Heather were super responsive to all of our needs day and night! We'd love to come back again!
