Beautiful Mission Beach is located between Townsville and Cairns, where the rainforest meets the reef. It enjoys beautiful tropical weather and is a great getaway to escape southern winters.
It boasts a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops and yet is so quiet, catering for those who want good nightlife, those who want to relax and unwind, and everything in between.
The beach is the main highlight, with a long stretch of sandy beach, beautifully shaded by palm trees.
Savannah Breeze consists of three self-contained accommodations ‘The Cottage’, ‘The Boat House’ and ‘The Studio’. The Boat House and the Studio are available for short-term rental most of the year. The Cottage is reserved for longer term accommodation.
The Cottage is a restored, historic beachfront home with one bedroom, one bathroom, a laundry, study nook and large, open plan, kitchen, dining and living room.
The Boat House is a two-story apartment with one large bedroom, two bathrooms, laundry, large kitchen and a separate living room. The living room and bedroom both have decks with beautiful views of the Ocean and Coral Sea. The Boat House has its own separate entrance (as well as a lockable entrance into the adjoining ‘Cottage’). It is built entirely of solid concrete.
The Studio is freestanding, built of solid concrete, and is nestled to the rear of the 809m2 block and is located on the first-floor, requiring access by stairs. The Studio is a light and bright, open plan structure, with lounge/ living, generous oversized bathroom (including a bath and shower), kitchenette and king-sized bed. There are ocean views through the coconut palms from The Studio across the pool and tropical gardens below.
