Top Cowley Beach Hotel Reviews

Mission Beach Lodge

Mission Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The garden view room at ground level had an amazing view of the pool through the tropical garden. The owner is very helpful and accommodating. It is very quiet compared to the beach front hotels. It is a 2 minute walk to the beach and it is awesome. Lots of sand at low tide, and the large Palm trees provide lots of shade. The shops have a good selection and the Laundrolounge is a great place to do your laundry because it is fully licensed with new washers and dryers, and helpful staff. The Tavern is great as well. We had a great stay"
