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.

Christmas in Mission Beach

I can't believe it is already December and that the lead up to Christmas madness is happening already. There is one thing I'm looking forward to and this is my Mum joining me here in Mission Beach this year, a tropical Christmas for her. I will be thinking of some great things for her to do, perhaps a trip to the Reef, a skydive ( ok probably not likely ), or even white water rafting, who knows but its all on offer here.
