River Rat Eco Cruise

Sunday night my Mum and I enjoyed the River Rat Eco Cruise at Mission Beach. It's a lovely cruise along the Hull River looking for crocodiles and putting in a crab net. The really fun part is when it gets dark you get out the spotlight and look along the river bank for the 2 little red lights that are the tell tale sign of a crocodile. Unfortunately the crabs had to go back in as they were undersized but that's okay it was all for fun. We had a lovely picnic at Hull Heads after a short stroll along the beach to look at the islands, you can see the Family Group, Dunk, Bedarra and Hinchinbrook. Just lovely!

Its good to be home

I have just spent 2 weeks working on the Gold Coast and I can tell you it is great to be home in Mission Beach.

Mission Beach

The hideaway township of Mission Beach is surrounded by a lush backdrop of World Heritage listed wet tropical rainforest, sunkissed white sandy beaches and the silvery shimmering blues of the Cora Sea.

Sejala Beach House

Sejala Beach House is a magical place for an unforgettable tropical experience on absolute beachfront setting under the coconut trees – the most luxurious accommodation in Mission Beach proper. No travel from surrounding beaches – just a few metres through the natural foreshore to the main beach and four minutes walk to the casual dining and shopping in the peaceful little township of Mission Beach where you will still find that old far north Queensland tropical charm and ambience.

Sejala has been thoughtfully appointed with every attention to detail. The beautiful old timber house captures the elegance and understated luxury so evocative of the tropics with breezy light filled rooms, shuttered doors and windows, painted furniture, lazy overhead fans, courtyards, ponds, beach chairs, hammocks and exotic plants and fragrant frangipani everywhere.

The large pavilion style sitting room opens onto either the flagstone terrace overlooking the Coral Sea and the islands beyond or the stunning very private glass-tiled terrace pool and sunbathing area. The in-house pool is protected by a planting of pink ginger and mandevillea and the romance of night time bathing under the huge starry sky is a special Sejala experience.

Dunk Island is 4 km's off the mainland of Mission Beach. You can stay on the island at Voyagers Dunk Island Resort or you can go across as a day guest. Whichever option you choose we can help you, with your transfers on either the water taxi or the ferry, and with accommodation at the Resort.
