Mission Beach Hostels - Reviews and Rates

We leave Cairns and take the first of our many trips on the Greyhound. We have bought a Cairns-to-Sydney bus ticket, which we can hop-on-hop-off as often as we like. Our first stop is for two nights at Mission Beach. One night may have been enough! There is nothing there, nothing at all but the beach itself. We still can't swim in the sea becau...

It rained again all night but had stopped by the time we got up and the sun shone for the rest of the day. The first thing we did in the morning (after breakfast on the deck) was wander up to the Information Centre in the village to see if there was any other way we could get a trip out to the Great Barrier Reef without doing a day trip to Cairn...

Am Dienstag sind wir dann fruehmorgens ein "wenig" verstochen losgezogen um die Minen zu besichtigen. Aufgrund von hohen Sicherheitsaufkommen wegen Terroristen...klar mitten im Australischen Outback....konnten wir nicht in die Minen, aber von aussen hat man auch einiges gesehen. Anschliessend sind wir dann wierder nach Blackwater rein in das Coa...

We arrived off the greyhound just before midnight wrecked tired and walked from the staion across the road to the hostel. 16th Oct Yet another early start we were picked up a 7.30am by R'n'R White water rafting company and brought to the Tully River for our rafting. The Tully river is a grade 4 rafting river and since i'd never rafted before i w...

Es increible la costa que tiene australia, km y km de playas desiertas.... Esta zona es curiosa porque empieza el bosque tropical y hacia alli que vamos, y lo curioso es que es el unico sitio, eso dicen, donde se junta el bosque con el mar.... y ya empieza a notarse la humedad y la naturaleza y como no, los animalitos, otra de las maravillas de ...

Spent one night in Mission beach. Myself and Fox stayed the night in a place called the sanctuary, in the middle of the rainforest. It took us a gruelling 15 minute walk through the rainforest to get ot the place, up in the hills, totally isolated. We basically stayed in a big mosquito net high up in the rainforest, above the trees and foilage. ...

Das Wetter war leider noch nicht viel besser als wir in Mission Beach ankamen. Wir gingen am Strand spazieren und fanden wieder Kokosnuesse. Wir haben wieder genascht bis sich jemand in die Hand schnitt - ich wars zum Glueck nicht... Am naechsten morgen regnete es wieder und wir fuhren weiter nach Townsville. Unterwegs gabs noch eine Abzweigung ...

We booked ourselves into a hostel down the road at Mission Beach that prides itself on relaxation. It has hammocks all around, a nice pool and is located in the rainforest, it also has no TV. Which is fine, until i realised we'd be there during the Ashes!! D'oh!! Mission Beach is a tiny place with some beautiful beaches, which again are inaccesi...

Mission beach is situated just a few hours south of Cairns. We stayed in a lovely self contained beach house located a hundred yards from the sea. When not sunning ourselves on the beach we were cassawarie spotting at the nearby Tam O'Shanter forest - thankfully we never spotted any as unbeknown to us at the time they're about 6 feet tall with b...

Well ive been to lazy to update lately, Innisfail just does that to you its a good thing im not a pot-head or i would have ended up staying there the whole trip, it just drains motivation and energy staying there! Really the last weeks werent bad (still cant believe i spent a month there...) the little farms are nice and i got to run around in t...
