We have visited Todd and Lynda shop on numerous occasions ,and each time purchased many items, including gifts customized for family and friends. They never disappoint. Our last visit over the Australia long weekend was no exception. Unfortunately we had to fly home earlier than expected leaving behind most of our gifts. One call later to Todd and all our presents were posted to us in Sydney. If you are visiting Port Douglas Fun stuff by Lynda is just. Thanks again Todd and Lynda

One of the best massages I have ever had in a long time. I now understand the positive reviews and why previous customers keep coming back to PATT. Patt ( also the owner’s name ) felt all the knots, tensions, and sore muscles I had. I did not even tell her specific problem areas but she felt them all, understood them and gave me this truly wonderful and therapeutic massage . Patt is highly experienced and very professional, with gifted hands and natural skills. I highly recommend her and her facility. The place is clean, well presented, not pretentious and staff are pleasant, polite and accommodating. Thank you Patt and to the rest of the team !

THE most amazing and unexpected experience. It’s now 4 days since my massage at The Deep Retreat with Michael, and I’m back at home back at work in Sydney. My body feels amazing - lower back tension and neck tension I had accepted as getting older (I’m 53 ) GONE ! I was lucky enough to get in on the day but I understand most of the time there can be a 3 or 4 day wait list so if you’ve just arrived in Port Douglas I’d book now ! A beautiful studio with chill music adds to the whole surreal and sensual experience. I cannot rate Michael and the Deep Retreat highly enough and cannot wait to get back there for another massage. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had read about this store in a review of good Port Douglas shops. We popped in to buy some gifts for friends and home and we weren't disappointed. I'm sure you could get something for everyone at this store - we got everything we needed in one place! Alison and Jules were really helpful and our gifts were beautifully wrapped.
