Parrot Fish Lodge is a fantastic hostel located right in the center of Port Douglas town. It's about an hour drive from Cairns -- the hostel can arrange shuttles for a price. As soon as you arrive, you will be made to feel welcome. A two-minute walk gets you to the main strip with tons of great restaurants, bars, and shops. Another five minutes and you are on the beach.
The three-story building is kept extremely clean, and has a great friendly and relaxed atmosphere. There is a lovely pool and a large deck with lounge chairs and picnic tables -- a great place to relax and meet other travelers. There is a kitchen and lounge room with TV and brand-new couches (replaced in March 2007), as well as internet access, drink machines, laundry, lockers, and a restaurant/bar with reasonably-priced items and pool tables. They organize pool tournaments and happy-hour drinks, as well as other opportunities to socialize with other travelers.
The large, spacious, and clean rooms are equipped with new mattresses (beds are from the Sydney Olympic village), clean linen, fans, and air-conditioning (included in every room). The large twin rooms have towels and fridges. The bathrooms are also very clean, with great shower pressure, and an ample number of sinks and mirrors. There are only positive things to say about this hostel -- it's definitely a great place to stay while in the Port Douglas area!
