Opal Reef at Templemoon

Covid: You get a full refund in Covid border closures prevent you travelling.

Opal Reef Villa at Templemoon is a luxury executive, but competitively priced 3BR 2.5 bathroom villa with a private walkway to Port Douglas's iconic white-sand Four Mile Beach.

It has undercover parking. We provide an excellent insiders guide to Port Douglas. Linen and beach towels provided. Cot, stair gate, stroller and high chair available.

We have a four-night minimum because of high cleaning, pool and garden costs. Do not do an instant book for less than four nights. Send a message to the owner if you want less than four nights and we will negotiate.

Cancellation. We do not profit from cancellation and we try and do what is fair. If you cancel a month or more out we refund in full. If you cancel less than a month out we refund up to the full amount depending on whether we get a full or partial replacement booking, less whatever HomeAway takes in fees.

It is family friendly (cot and toddler gates available). Port Douglas is a recreational cyclist's dream, with safe streets and beautiful shady cycle paths. You can rent bicycles from Port Douglas Bike Hire. https://www.bikeshopandhire.com.

We provide a comprehensive guide on what to do, where to go, what you can do yourself, which reef trip operators are best for which sorts of people -- divers, snorkelers, kids, oldies, non-swimmers. The tour operators won't tell you!

If you fancy golf, Opal Reef is next to the fabulous Paradise Links golf course.

Port Douglas is the stepping stone to the very best and most pristine of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. A huge variety of daily snorkeling-diving-sightseeing tours are available. If you like fishing, fishing tours are available from various skilled operators.If you like sailing, there are daily sailing tours and champagne sunset sailing trips to the beautiful Low Isles. Ask our advice. We are happy to help.

It is a short trip to the Daintree River where you can take the various river cruises and see the local wildlife and to Cape Tribulation to where the oldest rainforest in the world meets the Great Barrier Reef -- the world's largest living thing. Drive yourself or pick up one of the many terrific tours available.

Then there are the breath-taking Atherton Tablelands with their stunning crater lakes and majestic waterfalls -- just a short drive away.

Do as much or as little as you like! Sight see, swim, snorkle, dive, fish, wine and dine and shop. Or just kick back and relax by your own pool or the famous Four Mile Beach.

Opal Reef is an exceptionally well appointed villa, recently refurbished with top-quality furnishings. It has a designer and well-equipped kitchen. But we can organize a range of catering services if you want a break from cooking. Also, ask us to recommend our favourite restaurants to you as well as our favourite take-outs and our favourite special delis and fruiterers.

Opal Reef Villa has designer bathrooms with a spa bath in the main bathroom. It has a well-equipped internal laundry with dryer and ironing facilities. If you plan to stay for more than a week we can arrange for your villa to be serviced.

It is walking distance to a delightfully informal family-friendly restaurant, a friendly pub and shops. it is a short drive to Port Douglas Village. Also a nearby free shuttle bus can take you to the Port Douglas Village where you will find some of Australia's best restaurants and boutiques.

Opal Reef Villa is exceptional quality and value for money. A family or two or three couples could not hope to get accommodation at one of Australia's premier holiday destinations at such value. This is so much better than a resort. In Ruby Reef Villa, you have all the advantages of a luxury resort and more while retaining the freedom, privacy and economy of your own luxury villa while enjoying the best of this charming and beautiful town with all it has to offer the discerning visitor.

Why stay at Opal Reef

There are more reasons. The owners (a semi-retired professional couple) live in Port Douglas. They know what visitors want. They are intimately familiar with the town, the tours, what to see and do and where to dine. All the information you will need is provided and is in the villa. But you can phone them for help. They are passionate about you enjoying your holiday in paradise!

They have arranged discounts for guests of Ruby Reef Villa with tours/attractions they know are good from first-hand experience.


Quality holiday. Great value

A visit to Far North Queensland is a special trip. You want top quality accommodation and you deserve value for money. Ruby Reef Villa has the quality of the major resorts while giving you the extras the resorts do not have -- the freedom your own luxury villa can give you plus the luxury of your own pool and the closeness to the more private part of this iconic tropical beach.

Private villa ensconced by the beach
This three bedroom villa is ensconced in a location convenient to four mile beach, great coffee (Kai) and walking distance to the IGA. Our host was great, communicative and very helpful regarding accomodating our dog. This place has all the mod cons, air con, little plunge pool, private courtyard and is super comfy. A home away from home, in the beautiful tropics.

Everything that you could want/need
A fantastic property with everything that you could possibly want/need for a self contained relaxing beach holiday. The property is well maintained, spacious and adequately accommodated our family of 6. The private pool was fantastic after a fun swim at the beach just minutes walk away. You will need a car to access the Main Street of Port and groceries etc. but this was a great place to stay.

Very clean and close to the beach
We loved our stay. House was very clean which is always very important to us. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, very well equipped kitchen we just needed to get some extra dishwasher powder from the supermarket but they give you enough for a couple of days which is normal in most of the self-contained accommodation. Perfect location just 10 minutes to town and great pool area perfect for a sunbath and some relax time.

Always a pleasure to stay at Crispin’s place
This was our third time staying here with our whippets - so we obviously love it! Crispin was very accommodating with the uncertainty of our arrival due to the Queensland border situation and provided a full refund with no hesitation when we decided to cut our stay short due to unexpected major construction work starting at the complex. Thank Crispin!

It’s a beautiful villa located a bit far from town to walk, we had a car so it didn’t bother us.Its in a nice quiet residential street, very short walk to the beach with private access to the path. Internet was good. Loved the French doors that opened out to the lovely outdoor area. The plunge pool was great. The villa was very clean, had everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfy.
