Cassawong Cottages

Pet-Friendly Rainforest Accommodation Mission Beach

Cassawong Cottages

The award-winning Cassawong Cottages are nestled under a canopy of rainforest trees enjoying cool breezes from the Coral Sea, with the golden sands of Mission Beach just 50 metres away. Six private cottages are spread around a beautiful lagoon-style swimming pool, offering a tranquil, spacious, private, and comfortable holiday experience.
The property is named for the Southern Cassowary, the endangered bird that freely roams the area and is regularly spotted from the rear decks during early morning and dusk. Guests also frequently see wallabies and local bird life in this rainforest-like setting.
