Exploring the Artists Beach House

“Although I’d like to keep this place a secret so we can be assured of rebooking it when we next go to Port Douglas I don’t think that would be fair. I’ve been very lucky to have done a lot of travel to many beautiful places but I would have to rate Port Douglas and more specifically the Artist’s Beach House as one of the best places I’ve stayed in.”

The location of the Artists beach house

Relaxed luxury just a minute from the beach.

The Artists’ Beach House is in a quiet, leafy part of Port Douglas, just 100m from beautiful Four Mile Beach. Follow the private beach path for morning swims, long walks, or sunset drinks on the sand.

Set on a large block surrounded by rainforest, bamboo and paperbark trees, it feels peaceful and private. You'll hear birds, frogs and the sounds of nature all day and night. There’s even a fenced creek at the back—great for kids who want to fish.

You’re close to everything—walk to cafes, restaurants. The main street and marina are a quick 5-minute drive, or take a scenic 20-minute walk along the beach.

Within 10 - 20 minutes’ walk are two golf courses, and the Wildlife Habitat.

The weather is amazing year-round.
From May to October, expect sunshine, sea breezes and low humidity. November to April is lush and green, with tropical afternoon showers, fewer crowds, and warm sea temps perfect for swimming.

It’s the perfect base for a quiet, easy holiday—close to everything, but away from the crowds.

Port Douglas

ort Douglas is a laid-back coastal village in Far North Queensland, just an hour’s scenic drive from Cairns. It’s the only place where two World Heritage sites meet—the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest—making it the perfect base for adventure and relaxation.
