About this villa rental
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.

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.

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.

Great location
The property is located outside the busy centre of Port Douglas in a quiet neigbourhood with the beach just down the street. We had a great time and especially enjoyed having breakfast outside in the sun by the pool.

Temple Moon - good value and just a stroll to the beach
Comfortable, spacious and well-appointed. A short stroll to 4 Mile beach. Proprietor was especially helpful responding to questions. Have stayed in similar accom nearby on a previous visit - this was less less expensive… Would happily return.

winter escape
An ideal alternative to busy and noisy resorts this property is conviently located within walking distance of shops and restaruant/bar facilities. The main beach is easily accessed via the rear gate. The kitchen is stocked with utensils and the living room has a library of books and DVD's. A great place to stay, we'll be back.

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!

Internet was good.

Tranquil Oasis for families or couples.
Opal reef is a bright, modern, airy, townhouse with everything you could need for a happy tropical holiday. It’s a 10 min walk to 4 mile beach and a quick drive into Town. Crispin our host couldn’t have been more helpful. There’s a great relaxed Restaurant & bar “ the Beach Hut” and a pub only 10 mins walk away. A great Deli and breakfast place “OTZ “ a 15 min walk away. We are 4 adults and one child and loved our private plunge pool. There are baby gates, a high chair and a stroller provided. Beach towels also provided. It’s our second stay here and it was as good as the first, we’ll come again.

Home away from home
My husband and I stayed there for a week with our dogs. This place was beautiful, clean and spacious. We were only 2 but there is ample space to bring a family and not feel crowded. Great communication from owner about tourist attractions to go to or do around the place. Overall it was a great stay and highly reccomend.

Great apartment .... great host
This is a great place to stay if you like to be away from the hustle and bustle of down town Port Douglas.
Just a few minutes walk from the beach, as close to the Sea Temple (which is a great spot for coffee in the morning and Happy Hour in the afternoon), handy to the Sea Shack (a favourite PD eatery), well serviced by shuttles, and an easy carry from the local supermarket and bottle shops.
We stayed for 3 weeks, so having a prompt and considerate host (who is a local) is fabulous.

Good value accommodation for a family
Our family of 4 adults and 2 children enjoyed the quiet location and the proximity to the beach. The unit was clean and well presented. The 2nd bedroom to the balcony was small with no storage; bathroom facilities for this couple was through the 3rd bedroom ( where the children slept). No information/local tips provided, just a number to call. However, we did discover OTZ food on our 4 th and last night, and wish we'd known about it earlier. We only connected 2 devices to wifi and we're disappointed that after checking emails and fb only once, the iPad was locked out.

Excellent property
Very well situated property that had everything we needed as far as a family was concerned. 2 push bikes for riding on the beach which was only 2 mins away. Dishwasher, oven, washing machine, dryer private pool and very professionally finished with all quality fittings have recommended to family and friends easy to deal with helpful and professionally managed

Lovely property for family holiday
Overall had a lovely time staying at the property. Great amenities including children's stroller and pool toys. Very close to the beach, only 5-10 min walk. Only thing letting property down was unclean dishes/cutlery on arrival and the hot water ran out quickly so some people had cold showers some days.

Perfect for our holiday with two whippets
Loved our stay in this modern, super comfortable and spacious townhouse. Lots of natural light and some important winter sun through the day on those 'coolish' July days. Very private, in a quiet street a short stroll to the beach. Easy access to 'town': a few minutes with our car; a long but pleasurable walk along the beach; or a fun cycle (with the generously provided bikes) via the beach or cycle paths. Our dogs LOVED it, with easy access to a well fenced courtyard and great walking on the beach and in the leafy neighbourhood. We cooked lots of meals in the well fitted out kitchen. Hope we can stay again next year!
