I can fully recommend Cape Hillsborough Nature Resort for the total tranquility of the beautiful secluded beach, the nice pool, BBQ areas, friendly staff and the wallabies and kangaroos playing on the beach early in the morning. Definitely a must if you are visiting Queensland.

Loved the friendly wildlife, the beach,the aboriginal history,tropical rain forrest,there is no shoping close by you need to go back to Mackay about 40km away so make sure you stock up on the esentuals..basic cabins are very clean and right on the beach.. the restaurant is a great place to relax at the end of the day.

We recently stayed 2 nights in one of the beach front cabins. What an awesome place. Wish we could have stayed longer. The management were very friendly and helpful. Great place to unwind with the family. Can't wait to come back again!

We recently stayed at Cape Hillsborough - again...and loved it...again! We had heard stories about the change of management, but we are very happy to say we had a great experience. The amenities were cleaner than before and the owner could not have been more helpful. It was quieter due to poor weather, so we didn't have to share the... More

We have stayed at Cape Hillsborough Nature resort many times over the years - usually as a family at off peak times and week-ends, but also at times with groups of friends, either camping or in beach side cabins. However, after our stay there for the Easter holidays, we won't be back. The location and is beautiful and the park... More

When we arrived to check in; we were given a highlighted list of what we could not do. We were told that if any other friends or families were... More

Thank you for your feedback which helps up to constantly improve our facilities and service. Whilst our 9.30pm quiet time may seem unreasonable it is a reality that noise travels at night and what seems too early for some families can impact on others who have already retired, have young children or simply want peace & quiet. This effect is... More

Great campsite in a lovely spot by the beach with kangaroos wallabies , toads and all manner of wildlife abounding. Good facilities and a small store on site. Although the bar was not serving because it was low season we were told we could use the area to relax in if required.

It was raining so we decided to treat ourselves to a room instead of sleeping in our camper van that night, we did not receive a warm welcome, instead a rather moody one. I did not feel welcomed at all. The price was $115 a night for the self contained cabin close to the beach, which isn't bad, we asked... More
