Detailed Reviews
We love going to holiday places that are not as 'built up' and 'busy' to catch the location vibe, and this beach was fantastic. We had a little room that looked over the beach, felt like we were the only ones there. Breakfast and lunch are served in the restaurant if you're keen to chill and Sunday night at the 'Shack' was a fantastic local Australian beach vibe with food trucks, live music and bar right on the beach front. Close to trinity beach and palm cove and Smithfield shopping centre with cinemas, it was a great location! The staff were amazingly friendly and chill and happy to help wherever they could.

We loved our stay at Kewarra Beach Resort, the combination of beach and rainforest made it feel private and peaceful. Loved seeing the Wallabies, hearing the kookaburras and all the butterflies around us. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We chose not to have a car - there is a very reliable bus service a minute walk away so going in and out of Cairns or to nearby places with places to eat was very easy.
Heaps of space in the rooms - we had one night in the beach front room and five nights in the rainforest suite and were happy in both. If you're looking for somewhere with character in nature that's peaceful this will be perfect. Weather permitting the beach shack on Friday & Sunday evenings is not to be missed!

We had a terrific time at Kewarra Beach Resort & Spa. Leanne, Julie and Paul were terrific hosts and make a damn fine coffee too!
The atmosphere at the Resort is so relaxing and it was a real pleasure sitting each morning having breakfast looking at the gorgeous rainforest. We stayed in a deluxe beachfront bungalow, which I highly recommend.
I had reiki & a massage at the Spa. Jess is an excellent masseuse and very intuitive and I would have to say it was one of the best reiki session I have ever had.
We went to the Beach Shack on both Friday and Sunday, and had a great time. They have food trucks, music, and a bar and it's a great, chilled-out way to spend an evening.
I would have liked to give Kewarra 5 stars, but I didn't because I think the mattress, although comfy, has had it's day. But that would not stop me from going back. Keep up the good work guys.

Who doesn't enjoy eating in new places! On first impression, I had assumed that being a beautiful tourist attraction on the beaches that it would be a little on the pricey side. That wasn't the case at all. Kewarra Beach Resort is located on the beach, surrounded by beautiful paperbark tree's which adds to its appeal and ambience. The restaurant is all open which is lovely and something we all commented on. My girlfriends and I meet up every month for a catch up and like to try new and old favorites. Non of us had been to the Kewarra Beach Resort for a meal in years. As a Local we received a big discount so it really pays to ask. We had a Buffet Style Breakfast and the service was brilliant. Very attentive.

We stayed at this resort for five days in a gorgeous beach front villa. We had our own private beach in front of our villa where you could sit at night to watch the sunsets with a glass of wine. Unfortunately the Beach Shack was closed when we were there as weather was drizzle rain or overcast and most of it is open.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant, which was like an indoor/outdoor space, was amazing. We had breakfast there one morning and lunch which was beautiful and the surrounding grounds are amazing. There are little wallabies everywhere and just an abundance of flowers, birdlife and I think some crocs in the creek. It was about 20 minutes out of Cairns but that suited us as it was nice and quiet. Would definitely recommend staying here and will be back again one day

Stayed here for ten days and got exactly what I was looking for: a serene cabin in the jungle with exotic birds and wallabies galore. The property has two rock pools as well which makes you feel as if you are in a spa. The hotel staff helped me navigate several issues with my phone charger and were extremely accommodating and informative when it came to booking scuba and day trips, guiding me towards lesser known outfits which did not disappoint. The restaurant on site is also extraordinary.

We have stayed here before and attended lunches and dinners but this time it was a group of friends for morning tea. On a hot day even the fans did not do a good job but when we asked for tea we received English breakfast tea. The local tea Nerida is grown nearby and is a favourite of ours, so why not support the local businesses? The resort is fabulous and so is the landscaping in theme with the region. However the scones, jam and cream were delicious!

We just spent 3 nights at ‘Kewarra’ and we couldn’t be happier. The property was spectacular. The grounds are so well kept and the style of accommodation is just perfect. We had a garden room and it felt so cosy and private at times you forget anyone else is around.
It was the wet season so it rained but we were not bothered, just disappointed we didn’t get to use the pool.
The staff were delightful, friendly and helpful, especially Tash who even dropped us off after dinner in the golf buggy. The food in the restaurant was incredible quality and the serves generous. Overall we had an amazing stay and would both highly recommend it and visit again. Great.

Loved the room right on the beach! Loved the beach shack bar on the beach on Fridays & Sundays. Loved that it felt quiet.
Two notes:
1. They only serviced our room once even when we left the sign on the door daily.
2. Spa was completely booked out for the entire week we were there - book early if you’re wanting to get in.

It doesn’t get much better than pizza and wine under the stars with the sand under your feet and the sound of laughter and good times being had. Friday and Sunday nights at Kewarra Beach Resort offer just this between 5-8pm no bookings. Get there early if you want a good table. The stuff of dreams. Thanks to Kewarra Beach Resort & Spa for making such a magical evening possible.

Hi Troy, great question. Crocodiles live pretty much anywhere in the top end of Australia and this region is no exception. The local area is monitored very well by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection. Any animal that is sighted is relocated.
It is certainly never advisable to swim around or in the local estuaries, river mouths and especially at night. Otherwise the oceans are warm and inviting year round and Kewarra Beach has it's own stinger enclosure for the periods when required.
We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you to our sunny shores.
There are no bars or restaurants nearby.
No problem with tour operators picking you up from the resort.
Small shops are about 20-30 min walk away. There is also large shopping centre about 45-50 min walk away.
I didn't notice any flying foxes.
The reception staff can help with tour bookings
No I don't think there are free shuttle services but we used the bus which goes regularly into cairns and it's cheap, and air conditioned and it runs up until about 11pm at night.
The bus stop is just down the road from the hotel, you just need to remember to stand on the correct side of the road!
