Where the Wet Tropics rainforest runs down to the Great Barrier Reef at Mission Beach, this small owner-run property looks across to Clump Mountain National Park. Two ensuite rooms, the Ulysses and the Curlew, open onto private balconies where a gourmet a la carte breakfast is served; a separate self-contained Cassowary Bungalow suits longer stays. Tropical gardens surround an outdoor pool, and the Kennedy Track and reef trips are close at hand.
