Under new ownership · 2024

A fresh chapter for
Mission Beach's favourite park

When we took over Mission Beach Hideaway in 2024, we saw something special — a prime location, loyal guests, and bags of untapped potential. We've been putting in the work ever since.

The result? A completely refreshed holiday park that still feels warmly familiar to returning guests, but with all the new touches that make a real difference. Proper facilities, a gorgeous new pool complex, and a clubhouse that brings the community together.

“What a hidden gem! The location is unbeatable — we walked to the beach in two minutes and could hear the rainforest at night. The cabin was spotlessly clean with everything we needed. New management have really lifted the standard.”

Yes! We’re a pet-friendly holiday park and well-behaved pets are welcome across most of our accommodation types, including our villas, bungalows, powered sites, and camping areas. A few cabin types are pet-free to cater for guests with allergies — just mention you’re bringing a furry friend when you book and we’ll sort you out with the right spot.

Just 100 metres. You can walk to the beach in under two minutes. Mission Beach itself is one of the most beautiful and uncrowded tropical beaches in Queensland — long stretches of golden sand, warm Coral Sea waters, and the World Heritage rainforest literally meeting the shore.

Mission Beach is about 140 kilometres south of Cairns, which is roughly a 1.5 to 2 hour drive depending on conditions. We’re also around 100 km north of Townsville. It’s the perfect base for exploring the Cassowary Coast — close enough to Cairns for a day trip, but with a relaxed pace and natural beauty that the bigger centres can’t match.

We do! We offer weekly and monthly rates for extended stays, which work out considerably better value than nightly rates. Long-stay discounts apply to most accommodation types and powered caravan sites. Get in touch directly to discuss availability and rates for stays of a week or more — we’re happy to find the right arrangement for you.
