About this house rental

Thornton Palms is a beautiful, spacious property with stunning vistas across our tropical landscape. This 4 bedrooms, 4 bathroom villa offers everything you will need including free WIFI, NETFLIX, secure parking and optional Pool Heating.

A perfect place to stay for those wanting to explore the Great Barrier Reef & Daintree Rainforest and our beautiful town, Port Douglas.

Awake to a glorious mountain view across the golf course and enjoy breakfast upstairs to the sound of tropical parrots. Walk a few minutes to the golden sands of 4 mile beach or take a short drive or local shuttle into town to enjoy our restaurants and shops.

Do some shopping or lay by the pool catching up on a holiday novel whilst deciding whether to dine in town tonight or maybe at one of the restaurants or bistros within walking distance.

Should you choose to stay in for dinner, cooking in this fully equipped kitchen will be easy or for something more casual, try the BBQ next to the outdoor dining area.

The tropics come alive at night with sounds of frogs and birds from the nearby golf course. A brilliant Cafe, St Crispin's is a short 1 min walk out of the front gate and serves excellent breakfast, lunch and coffee. This cafe is also the station for Bally Hooley cane train that runs 4 times a day into town. Great for the kids!

THE VILLA:

Located within the stunning Thornton West gated estate, surrounded by lush tropical gardens this villa exhales a stylish, inviting ambiance.

Access is gained through a secure port-a-co leading into your private court yard surrounded by tropical gardens. The main house combines two levels. Ground level is for living and relaxing... bi-fold doors lead onto the outdoor dining patio and a separate courtyard.

A spacious living and dining area includes a sophisticated kitchen, fully equipped for all your requirements.

In front of the outdoor patio is a lovely grassed garden leading to the pool where an inviting cabana offers a lounge setting and sun lounges.

Upstairs, 3 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms are spacious and private. Each bedroom has its own flat screen television and all, are beautifully decorated.

The fourth bedroom is separate to the main house... within its own pavilion, a few steps from the front door. It also includes its own bathroom, television and small courtyard. (Perfect for the nanny / grandparents or teens)

Gardens surround the outdoor living space, framing the stunning golf course and mountain views.

Children are well provided for with Port-a-cot, stair gate, high chair offered free of charge and a selection of DVD's and board games to keep them amused.

We had the most amazing holiday staying at this beautiful home. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had a magical stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great stay with our family and parents. The size of all the bedrooms, wardrobes and bathrooms are quite large in 3 of the rooms. Our family had a great time there. Great extras included for families so you don’t need to pack absolutely everything.Kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook, prep and store food. The cafe around the corner has amazing coffee, food and drinks. Only thing to note is that the pool isn’t very heated. If you’re looking to pay extra for the pool to be heated I suggest only trying it for one day because you’ll find it’s not very heated. Was still too cold for my littlest one. Otherwise it was an incredible stay! Highly reccomend.
