Santuary Retreat: "The real wilderness" South Mission Beach Hotel Tip by squidly2

My husband and I loved this place - especially for the price! We stayed in a tent hut, and saw a cassowary every day we were there! We visited in August; the temperature was comfortable. We had a rental car - it is about a 20 minute hike to the parking area. They'll take you in a 4 wheeler when you arrive with your luggage. One day we went on a rafting tour with R&R; that was great too. I can't describe how awesome the views are from this place. We ate in their restraunt both nights there - gourmet!! Oh yeah, if you stay there take a flashilight and your own towel (though I think they'll loan you either for a price). The price was $50AUD a night.
