Good enough for a short stop over

The room was fine - clean, tidy, comfy bed. One of the owners is quite rude and abrupt, but the other is charming. Overall, a pleasant enough experience for a short stay, if you don’t mind the possibility of being barked at.

We stayed here hoping there may be kids thrre was not. But we downgraded from our previous property. Would not return here. Alex on Reception was lovely and gave us great suggestions. The other man made us feel uncomfortable and like he was waiting for us to leave to clean our room. He left his cleaning trolley in the walkway outside our room. I did not like this at all especially as it was there from about 7-8am. Check out is 10. We were 1 of 2 rooms rented with gueats still in the room. It was $7 for the washing macjine not $4 like everywhere else. Room was very clean and tidy. Pool was squashed in corner outside reception felt like being kept an eye on.

Alan and Aiden, lovely hosts, who could not do enough for you. The lazy lizard was possibly the cleanest motel I’ve ever stayed in. The pool was fantastic, crystal clear water and the perfect temperature. As a family of four we were very comfortable in the room. Beds were excellent. Definitely recommend lazy lizard.

Alex and Aiden run a lovely motel just outside the downtown area of Port Douglas. Coffee, biscuits and milk are a welcome touch in the room. Small kitchen is perfect for short stay. Pool was very nice. Walked across road to 4 mile beach and enjoyed being slightly away from the main streets of PD. Easy walk into town via harbour, lots of great advice from Alex and Aiden.
