Guest access
We would be pleased to have you share our piece of paradise, we are a local family with children who live on the property in the original family home. You’ll barely see us as the two dwellings are separated by gardens and fencing and you will have your own entrance and car parking. You may catch a glimpse of us as we feed the chickens or tend to the gardens, but other than that it will be on an occasion we will cross paths, however if we are nearby feel free to ask if you would like some local tips and advice.

Other things to note
If you have any inquiries or need more information about Trezise Cottage, recommendations or any advice please don't hesitate to send us a message. We are more than happy to help you in any way we can.

Lives in Port Douglas, Australia
I'm a lifelong local and feel incredibly lucky to call Port Douglas home. I love the natural beauty, relaxed lifestyle and warm welcoming community. It’s a privilege to share this special place with guests staying at Trezise Cottage. Photography and art are my creative passions. I also enjoy getting lost in a good novel, growing tropical plants and flowers, and spending time with my family. Our favourite way to unwind is fishing or gathering around a backyard campfire under a sky full of stars.
