The Apollo Jewel Beachfront Holiday Apartments offer affordable Mission Beach accommodation at its best, situated on the foreshore of South Mission Beach opposite Dunk Island. Named after the Apollo Jewel butterfly, a frequent visitor to the tropical gardens, this property offers a quiet, comfortable, and relaxing location right on the ocean.
Being in the midst of World Heritage Listed rainforest and on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef, guests are lucky to encounter the wildlife that inhabits this part of Far North Queensland. The endangered Southern Cassowary is a frequent visitor to the tropical gardens, and guests are sometimes fortunate enough to sight whales on their migration north as they pass between the mainland and Dunk Island.
Apollo Jewel offers 4 apartments in total.
Two 2-bedroom ground floor apartments feature beach and ocean views with patios looking out to Dunk Island and the Coral Sea. One studio apartment (Apollo Jewel 3) has open plan living with garden-view private courtyard, ideal for budget travellers. One 4-bedroom upstairs apartment offers beach, Coral Sea, and Dunk Island views with a large balcony and private BBQ.
All apartments are air-conditioned (in bedrooms) and fully self-contained with TV and DVD player, fully equipped laundry including washer and dryer, fully equipped kitchen with stove, oven, and microwave. Some include dishwasher and free WiFi. All have balcony or patio.
The property features 2 large outdoor swimming pools with pool towels provided and 2 BBQ areas overlooking the pools and gardens. Free parking and free WiFi are available. Weekly housekeeping is provided. Tour and ticket assistance is available.
Rates start from approximately $91 per night for the studio apartment, with 2-bedroom and 4-bedroom apartments at higher rates. A 1.1% credit card surcharge applies for Mastercard and Visa.
One reviewer noted they simply had to cross a small road and they were on the beach.
The beach is directly across the road. A takeaway shop, lifesaver-patrolled swimming enclosure, and dinghy and catamaran hire are within 200 metres. Mission Thai Restaurant is a short stroll along the beachfront. Beachcombers Caravan Park cafe is nearby. Ocean and river boat ramps are available nearby. Woolworths Supermarket at Wongaling Beach is a 5-minute drive.
Apollo Jewel is perfect for families wanting affordable beachfront accommodation, budget travellers seeking self-contained studio, couples wanting quiet romantic location with views, groups needing 4-bedroom apartment, and wildlife enthusiasts hoping to see cassowaries.
