Driftwood Bed and Breakfast  

On the shores of the Coral Sea in Mission Beach, about 2 hours from Cairns and 3 hours from Townsville. Backed by rainforest and minutes from the Wet Tropics and Djiru National Park, it’s within walking distance of the Mission Beach Community Arts Centre. Base yourself here for reef adventures and village life.

A classic Queenslander set in tropical gardens, Driftwood Bed and Breakfast pairs relaxed coastal style with a rainforest backdrop. Rooms are straightforward and comfortable — flat-screen TVs, fridges and private furnished patios, with selected guestrooms offering private pool access. Landscaped outdoor pool, quiet gardens and a welcoming, low-key vibe.

Take a dip in the outdoor landscaped pool or lounge in the gardens. Rent bikes, book diving and fishing trips, or arrange skydiving, white-water rafting and island excursions through the tour desk. On-site perks include a massage room, library, picnic and barbecue areas, free self-parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and walk into village markets and restaurants.

Complimentary Wi-Fi in all rooms and public areas keeps you connected. The property also offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, express check-in/out and a conference hall for small meetings.

Enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant and a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast served daily from 7 AM to 9 AM. Guests are greeted with a complimentary wine, beer or soft drink before heading out to explore the village’s restaurants. Plenty of nearby options make it easy to sample fresh local seafood and regional flavors.
