Port Douglas Baby Sitting Services & Childrens Equipment

If you are hiring a car then most car hire companies will also rent baby seats or booster seats at an extra cost, allowing a family greater flexibility to explore the surroundings of Port Douglas attractions at their own pace.

For restaurants and dining most places will have high chairs available for baby and toddler use and some even have a free children’s menu if two adults are dining which is ideal when you are trying to keep the family holiday budget in line.

In Port Douglas there are two sets children’s play areas with swings and things, one next to St. Mary’s By The Sea wedding chapel and the other at the other end of Rex Smeal Park which is at the waterfront end of Macrossan Street.

If you wish to have more information about any of these or have questions about travelling to Port Douglas with your family then please do make contact with one of our Cairns & Port Douglas Holiday Specialists so that they can help you and give you the best advice.

Baby Equipment Hire For Holidays In Port Douglas

When travelling on holidays with young children in a new destination it is always good to check with a local destination specialist about all of the services and facilities that will be available to assist you to look after your children on a stress free holiday. You also need to consider the costs of the excess luggage expenses that you will incur on your airline ticket also.

Your expert travel specialist can also advise you on the best family friendly hotels and resorts to ensure you have all of the right cooking facilities, play facilities and even baby-sitting services within the resort.

Other factors families need to consider is the walking distance from the holiday apartment to Four Mile Beach and to the main street area of Macrossan Street as you really want to be in a resort location that can offer you everything without having to be loading children in and out of rental cars to race to the shops for some milk or other last minute items for the children.
