We have stayed here a couple of times over the past few years and have enjoyed each one. We stay in one of the beach huts, which are a bit dated but clean and comfortable only metres from the beach. Free BBQ's are available and the huts have cooking facilities, fridge etc. The walks around the Resort are a good... More

We recently stayed one night in one of the little beach huts at the Cape Hillsborough nature resort. The ‘resort’ is really nice, right on the beach with its own swimming pool and a friendly vibe. Our hut was quite run down. Simple and outdated is one thing, you’re in a beach hut after all, but ours was not very... More

We stayed here for just one night on our trip down to Brisbane. The fisherman huts are very basic and a little dated but in a strange way this added to the charm of the place. Be sure to bring your own food as there is very little here and it is quite a distance from anywhere. The scenery is... More

Cape Hillsborough is a lovely place. We were unlucky to be here during a patch of bad weather but still really enjoyed it and could see it would absolutely stunning in the sunshine. (We were disappointed not to see the kangaroos on the beach but they had probably all been blown away!!) The accommodation is fairly basic but quite spacious.... More

We stayed in a beach front cabin en route to the Whitsundays. The Resort is slightly off the beaten track but definitely worth the detour off the Bruce Highway! We awoke early the first morning for a stroll on the beach a stones throw away from our cabin. We were delighted to see kangeroos frolicking on the beach, they put... More

Unfortunately when we arrived in Mackay every accommodation for miles around was booked out. The Staff at the "I" centre were brilliant and found us the very last unit available at Cape Hillsborough. The unit was basic and dated and several things were not working. It was reasonable comfortable and quite clean. There was an extremely annoying smoke alarm beep... More

Cape Hillsborough Nature Resort isn't luxurious but it doesn't need it, it's a perfect spot if you want to experience the real Australia. To start with the location is immaculate, next to the beach and right in the midst of a National Park with plenty of walks on offer. Wildlife is everywhere, kangaroos, possums, all kind of bird life, and... More

We spent three nights here with our 5-year-old son, and it was a terrific place, one of the best campgrounds we stayed in so far. The cooking facilities were good, as were the bathrooms and showers. The grounds were well-maintained. Our area was within sight of the beach and nature trails were right beside our campervan. What made the palce... More

The resort is 'a bit' out of the way but worth the effort in terms of the beach. The cabins are basic but fine for a short stay - although we met lots of aussies who had been there for weeks. Great place to spot roos and walabies. More
