Silkari Lagoons Port Douglas

Silkari Lagoons Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent
"The room was amazing for a family of four adults, we had everything we could possibly need and more. The room was so spacious, the laundry facilities were a highlight as we could do it at the end of the day without any drama. Bathrooms were brilliant, everything was just amazing. The only small complaint i would have were that the matresses were very hard. But apart from that, 10/10."
