'Drifters'....A Majestic Old Queenslander

Situated at the northern end of Mission Beaches, Bingil Bay is arguably the prettiest beach in a beautiful established but underdeveloped area. Originally the Cutten Brothers grew tea and tropical produce in the rich local red soil and loaded into boats in Bingil Bay bound for southern market.

This grande old 1950's dame is a traditional timber queenslander with timber VJ walls, hardwood belt rails, casement window, cathedral coloured glass, french doors, fan lights and all the trimmings.

Soak away your worries in the claw foot bath which features exposed trombone taps and a shower over the bath.
