Mission Beach Resorts - Reviews and Rates

Nothing really to say about this place other than it is a mission to find anything to do. The beach is a 4 mile long strip rather than a bay, and you cant swim in the sea due to jellyfish (stingers). The hostel was really nice though, good pool and nice rooms.

We left Ingham and headed north. We pulled into the Marine Hotel in Cardwell for lunch but other than that just kept going to Paronella Park in Mena Creek, just inland from Mission Beach. This place was very impressive. All built by one man over a few years as a European pleasure garden. He must have loved mixing concrete. The place seems to ram...

Having made the call to now leave Townsville a day early and head north we had to pick a stop off point for the night ….Another search though the tourist papers and the like and we spotted a place called sanctuary retreat….at mission beach. It looked great. The only caveat when Jill booked it was that we should try and ...

Another early start! On the 4th of May we all had to check out by 8am to catch the Maggy Island bus which would take us to the ferry terminal. About 20 backpackers all with huge rucksacks all trying to get on a litttle bus which also had locals on it was interesting!! The ferry left about 8.30 then we were all on the bus for 9am. We left Townsvi...

Mission Beach, 20th/21st October 2008: On paper, Mission Beach is a paradise. Halfway between Townsville and Cairns, it is a series of small towns by the beach, surrounded by rainforest and the Wet Tropic World Hertiage Area. Hiding in that very rainforest is the very rare and somewhat dangerous Cassowary. A few km off the beach, the Great Barri...

So here we are in Mission Beach, it took us about 3 hours to reach here from the city of Cairns. We passed through beautiful Queensland countryside enroute, small towns that if you blinked you would missed them - very picturesque but not the sort of places for a holiday. Mission Beach, is very small and quite spead out. We had to hire bikes to g...

Daar ging ik dan eindelijk: op reis, met de bus, naar het zuiden van Australie. Na twee uurtjes met de bus en een live concert van Bruce Springteen op de tv in de bus verder, kwam ik aan op het busstation in Mission Beach. Met het busje van het hostel reden we door Mission Beach: een dorpje van slecht 1 straat groot. De Treehouse hostel bleek ee...

Thursday the 28th I had breakfast as usual and my Skydive was booked for 1:00pm. It was 12:13pm and now I can't believe I am going to jump out of a plane from 14,000 feet (4km), I was feeling a bit nervous. Kevin was also nervous since he is doing his skydive at 2pm. He was telling me that he met a girl last night, he descried her and I told hi...

We arrived at Mission beach intending to stay for just a night, but ended up staying 3 as the hostel was amazing. Mission beach is quite quiet but is the place to go for extreme sports. The hostel staff were really friendly and the place was clean and cool. On the first day we just chilled out by the pool and then in the early evening decided to...

Stayed at Misson Beach for two days, could quite possible be the most boring place on the earth! There was one shop, one friggin' shop, I mean what do these people do all day? the suicide rate must be pretty high, I'm telling ya! Beautiful Beach but with it being right next to the rain forest it rained all the bloody time and I got eaten alive m...
