Having stayed here in 2005 it was a pleasure to return in 2011. I always said if I got married this would be a place to bring my wife on honeymoon... and I did. She seems to attract unusual weather as we had 40 K onshore winds for most of the week !! The first time I visited it was... More

We stayed at Ellis Beach for the Easter Break this year with a group of family & freinds. The Manager arranged to pick half of us up from the Airport when our flight arrived & the other half hired a small car. You will need a car from here if you plan on seeing any of the surrounds independantly. Otherwise... More

Stayed in campervan, took the beachside option as otherwise would back directly onto busy road. Paid the extra $6 for this. Pitch was very compact, just able to back our van in next to the slab and we only have a small van. Kitchen very basic, and needed to pay for use of BBQ etc. Amenity block tired. Expensive wi...

I stayed at these bungalows for the first time in Dec. 2012. My partner has been here many times over the years. Apparently the prices have gone up dramatically! The location is lovely right on the beach but, not worth the price. With stinger season, the only place with a net was a ways done the beach. The place was... More

Ellis Beach Oceanfront Bungalows are perfect - there are no negatives. You have everything you need right there to be able to forget the rest of the world exists for a while. Only wish it was not so far north as I would go stay there much more often.

This was my second experience of staying at Ellis Beach, but this time we camped instead of staying in a bungalow. When we stayed in July we had booked one of the last available powered campsites when we decided to come back for the total solar eclipse on November 14, 2012. We were fortunate enough to get a beachfront site... More

For a beachside location it must be hard to beat a cabin here. Basic facilities but adequate. However just to sit on the verandah and listen and gaze at the sea just metres away is great. Because of the location you need to bring and stock up with your supplies as the diner/bar over the road closes early though they... More

The location is amazing, right next to the ocean. However the experience my family had with the managers ruined the entire stay. Would not reccomend staying here, it is among the worst places I have ever been.

Ellis Beach Camping (I stayed in a campervan) has a great location on the beach and a pleasant atmosphere. But the highway in the backyard is quite noisy, so at least pay for a beach front location. And more: You need to remember a 5 digit code to go the toilet (for what reason?) and the management seems greedy: As... More

We stayed for 7 nights during the solar eclipse and the location is superb. The bungalow we stayed in (No. 6) was basic, but was comfortable and had all we needed. It is pricey, but you are paying for the location and it is worth it. There are 2 bedrooms. The main has a QS bed with just enough room... More
