Great motel, we picked it as it was very affordable. It certainly exceeded our expectations. Room was very spacious and clean. Bathroom was large with both tub and separate shower, plenty of storage for toiletries and hooks for towels. Clothes line above the tub for swimwear etc Room had nice kitchenette, sofa, dining table plus seating on the patio. Doors and windows had fly screens allowing lots of ventilation. Both AC unit and ceiling fan. Blankets in the cupboard if chilly (which is never was!) Laundry facilities ($7) plus extensive dvd collection free to use. Free beach towels to use during stay. Excellent WiFi Receptionist is great and gave us useful tips for Port Douglas. Plus really appreciated the biscuits/cookies with tea and coffee 😋
(not really a dislike) it's 20min walk into town but as parking is free in the whole town you may as well drive. (I do believe there is a free shuttle into town but we never used it so not sure)

Good location, easy to find. It is very near about 3 minutes drive to the four mile beach and the shopping area at Macrossan Street. The owner, Aidan was really helpful and friendly. He is generous with his advice on what to do and where to go around Port Douglas to meet your interest and needs. Super grateful! The room is very spacious and clean. Basic kitchenette facility. On site laundry is available and parking is just outside your room. Very convenient. Very value for money. Definitely recommend to anyone who is heading to Port Douglas!
It will be good to have smart TV in all the rooms in the future. I would have prefer the bed mattres to be firmer. This is only my personal preference.

Loved the few days we staying at Lazy Lizard. The units are big, clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. Fabulously comfy bed and pillows with extra pillows available in the wardrobe. Good size flat screen TV. Terrific air con and ceiling fan kept temperature perfect. The kitchenette had everything we needed to make simple meals. Handy to have the iron and ironing board and it was terrific to have the DVD player. There is washing machine and dryer and clothes dryers on premises to use if needed. Heaps of DVDs are available to borrow and a book swap library as well. We didn't have a swim but the pool area looked nice. Everything about this Motor Inn is well maintained and the host was really friendly and knowledgeable about the area.
Lazy Lizard is a fabulous choice for accommodation at Port Douglas. Very affordable, large, clean, comfortable unit with tropical plants around the units and the covered car parking area.

Aiden was extremely helpful in suggesting sights to see. He has great local knowledge and is dedicated to making his visitors experience the best of what Port Douglas has to offer. I would highly recommend this accommodation to people who are looking for a comfortable, well equipped, clean and roomy place to stay, which is also well situated. The pool and spa are great; the water is always clean and a perfect temperature. Laundry facilities are great and drying rack are also very handy and always available. Parking is also very close to rooms and under cover. Really, I couldn’t fault this place!
Nothing ; it ticked all the boxes for us..

I arrived after reception had closed, but they made it very easy to get into my room. There was a letter to explain what I needed to do which was very clear, and they had put the aircon in for me. Though a little bit away from the main streets of town, the Lazy Lizard was VERY quiet, comfortable, and great value for money. It was exceptionally clean, the linen was like new, and I liked the ice machine!!!! I love ice in my work drinks and hate when I can't make ice in bar fridges, so this was a real plus😊
I was looking forward to a bath which I thought would happen from the room description. No biggie, though. Everything else was fantastic.

Lovely family run motel with spacious rooms, free parking, and an easy 20 min walk, or 3 min drive to the downtown area of Port Douglas. Lady at the front desk is especially lovely and made us feel extra welcome. Had everything you needed to cook a meal in the kitchenette in your room, including an electric pan that you can cook up a meal on, and utensils for cooking. Beach towels were free to use for the day and you could take them on your reef tour and return them when you were finished. DVDs were available to borrow at the front desk to use in your room which I thought was a very nice touch! Beds and pillows were super comfy. Location was quiet and tucked away from the main road. A/C was turned on for us before our arrival and did an excellent job.

We spent just one night here on our way to Cape Tribulation, so we didn’t have the chance to fully enjoy all the facilities available. The owners were very welcoming and kindly arranged a late check-in for us, as our flight arrived in the evening. The following morning, the owner gave us some excellent tips on what to see and do around Port Douglas, which we really appreciated.
The room was simply furnished but functional however perfect for a short stay.

Excellent hotel - loved the way that everything had been thought through so that the facilities and inventory were all useful. The pool area was great and it was nice to have the option of using a BBQ. Aiden gave us lots of good information and advice and there were some nice books about Queensland on the coffee table in the room. Nothing bad to say about the Lazy Lizard - thoroughly recommend it. Just wish we'd been able to stay a bit longer...

The staff at this accommodation were excellent and the check-in very efficient. The accommodation itself was perfect for our needs. The rooms are large with a good seating area and table and chairs. There was a good kitchen with all we needed and the accommodation had adequate storage and hanging facilities. The beds were good and the bathroom was spacious with a good shower. The owner was particularly helpful and put me in touch with a great guide for a birdwatching trip on the Daintree River. The accommodation has good parking bays outside each room.
The accommodation is great if you have transport, if you don't have transport and wanted to be near the centre of Douglas it is a bit of a walk from this location.

Aiden and Alex are amazing ! They create such a welcoming atmosphere for their guests and it really felt like a home away from home. The place was spotless,beds were comfy and the overall atmosphere is beautiful with all the plants and trees around you.Really felt like paradise. Highly recommend staying here.
Nothing i think the only thing that is didn't like was that we couldn't stay longer.
