Detailed itinerary

Explore the Whitsunday Coast hinterland with a visit to Cedar Creek Falls and rockpool. Swim in the fresh waterhole, explore the creek up- and downstream from the falls. The hike to the top of the falls is not for the faint hearted, but is worth the climb for the adventurous. After rain the waterfall will be flowing (seasonal). Listen to the sounds of the Australian bush with birds and butterflies making a flash appearance. Look for freshwater turtles.

Surrounded by stunning scenery, bordered by the Proserpine River and nestled in a rich fertile valley, our 140,000 Arabica coffee trees give us a truly beautiful, Award Winning Coffee. You will have time to visit the farm animals, and purchase a coffee

Frog Rock beach is a secluded part of Cape Gloucester which is not known to many as it is off the beaten track but stunning in its location, rock formations and crystal clear waters. Enjoy a swim, walk along the secluded beach or sit on a rock and enjoy the spectacular views.

Uniquely sculpted beaches in the foreground over the gorgeous Coral Sea, a stunning backdrop for a relaxing afternoon to enjoy a swim in the resort pool, lunch and a cocktail or two.
Established in 1995 with the purchase of 150 acres on the eastern shore of Edgecumbe Bay, Cape Gloucester Beach Resort was designed to be a small, inviting and environmentally sustainable resort which has been manifested into a welcoming boutique resort with a friendly environment.
