Had a great stay when traveling alone through Mission Beach. Was on holiday from work and wanted some peace and quiet and here I got it! Gorgeous views, spacious clean kitchen, comfortable cabins, friendly staff. Even had the beach at Bingil Bay entirely to myself for 2 days. Food in the restaurant was nice too!

Our time here was amazing.....just one of the most beautiful places we have ever been to. We stayed in the deluxe rooms with the fantastic shower view across the forest to the sea and loved every minute of it...Sure the walk up from the beach took your breath away, literally, but so did the views from the top when you...

I've stayed here a couple of times and love it. As mentioned on the website the property is pretty steep. The accomodation consists of basic rooms and cabins - I stayed in the basic rooms, which are very basic. But they are clean and comfy and surrounded by trees. You're sleeping right in the rainforest. The staff are lovely, really... More

We stayed at mission beach for 2 nights before we went to dunk island. We wished we had stayed longer at sanctuary retreat. The food was lovely. We enjoyed our cabin with lovely peaceful verandah.

I stayed here as part of a backpacking trip for a weekend. The staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful, some of the nicest people I met on my trip. Their website accurately describes the set-up- huts with shared bathrooms at the top of a hill. You feel right in the middle of the rainforest, and can hear... More

I was shocked to read the nasty review someone had posted. We knew roughly the prices as my daughter had stayed there and loved it so much wanted us to see it. We didn't prebook as weren't sure when we could get there as were driving from Vic. Booked over phone for hut-yes, the night climb to the lavs was... More

My husband and I had really been looking forward to our 2 night stay here. Infact we had timed it to coincide with our wedding anniversary. What a mistake!! We arrived in Mission Beach a day early and decided to check out the location of the retreat as we new it was a bit out of the way, only to... More

A big thank you to all the amazing staff there. We had a large workshop group who all had their every need met even when the requests were difficult or unusual. I had many positive comments from our participants about the nutritious food, beautiful staff and the rain forest accommodation. The Sanctuary itself is a place of rare natural beauty... More

My boyfriend wanted nothing more than to stay in a hut in the middle of the rainforest and we got exactly what we wanted. I think the website does a very good job of describing the accommodations - they are simple and no frills but comfortable nonetheless. The main lodge building is gorgeous (note you can't wear shoes in the... More
