Dougies Backpackers Resort is a great Port Douglas location to explore all of the Port Douglas attractions the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest and Atherton Tablelands.
They have been building Dougies Backpackers Resort for over 12 years and have a relaxed atmosphere, without all of the formal procedures that some hostels have.

Located on the left-hand side on the way into town so lovely and easy to find.

The Crew at Dougie’s aim to provide a memorable highlight of your visit to Australia, whether you stay for just a few days or get a job in town and stay for months.
