Eating & drinking
in Port Douglas
Port Douglas has a huge choice of places to eat and drink,
and with most of them along the main street of Macrossan Street it is
easy to go for a walk and check them all out. Some more places can be
found at the Port Douglas Marina, a short stroll from the town centre.
Breakfast with the birds
Rainforest
Habitat does an excellent brekky, known as 'Breakfast With The Birds'.
A big buffet of tropical fruits and all the other breakfast goodies
set under a large sail on which all shapes of birds walk around, together
with the rising sun providing a very artistic shadow play. Lots of other
birds fly around within the breakfast area so guard your breakfast closely
as the birds know how to help themselves. This award winning wildlife
park is easy to find on the corner of the town's entrance road and the
Cook Highway, and easy to get to on the local bus. And after brekky
you can see koalas, cassowaries, crocodiles and plenty of other animals
all in one day!
Courthouse Hotel
The Courthouse Hotel in Port Douglas
The Port Douglas Courthouse Hotel has been a favourite
watering hole for many years, it is easily found at the end of the main
street at the harbour end, just across the street from Anzaz Park where
the Sunday markets are held. Many nights there is live music at this
pub, the Sunday sessions are lively and they do some well priced meals
here too.
