Terrific spot, literally just about on the beach! Short drive to Palm Cove. Only down side is it quite close to the road and there can be a bit a traffic noise

The cabins arent the greatest. Yes they were pretty clean (its hard to keep something so close to the ocean clean), but big old noisy aircons, and some lights didnt work, and the floor lino was quite cracked in places, and sometimes you would step on a part of floor that seemed unstable and you would sink a bit, and the water was quite brown, so we bought cartons of water to drink. Unfortunately we had 2 days of rain on arrival so we spent quite a bit of time inside and on the balcony, but for the days of sunshine it was beautiful so close to the beach and outside was always neat and tidy. If you mainly spend time on the beach or in the pool or exploring, its a great quiet little spot, and so we were able to get over the little issues inside. If you are just staying in the area one night and passing through, its probably not worth the cost, as its pretty comparable to a hotel in palm cove, but if you want a few days of beach time, it is really lovely. Unfortunately the bar and grill restaurant across the road (the only food venue IN Ellis Beach) is currently shut for dinner, and closing completely on the 8th January for a month at least, so food either needs to be cooked by yourself, or head to palm cove up the road.

Smelly cabin and bed bugs
The location was amazing, but not worth it for the bed bugs, disgusting smells and overpriced accommodation.   When we arrived and opened the door it smelled like a combination of someone's sweaty armpits, toilet waste and cigarette butts.  The built-in kitchen facility was ok to use, but it felt really rude that they threatened to charge an additional $50 fee if you didn't wash, dry and put away your dishes.   The worst thing though was being woken by my 9 year old son in the middle of the night upset and complaining of itchiness - all over his body.    We'd managed to avoid getting bitten by mosquitos and other biting insects on the rest of our 10 day Northern Queensland trip - but on this last night, which was supposed to be our beautiful, peaceful farewell and close to our holiday ... my son got bitten very badly by bed bugs covering every part of his body with itchy bites.   We felt awful and had all of us sleeping restlessly for the rest of the night crammed in the only clean bed in the cabin.   I never leave bad reviews, but the discomfort and potential health issues of bed bug bites for my son made me cross enough to let you all know, this is not a place I would ever recommend or stay at again - and the price....!  We stayed at a 5 star hotel in Cairns cheaper ...!   If we'd have known, we would have gone back to Cairns and stayed somewhere much cleaner, less stinky and less gross.   Would not recommend this place.  At all.

It is absolutely stunning where the bungalows are situated. The view and access to the pristine unspoilt beach is better than any upscale resort. My only complaint was that the bunk bed mattresses for the kids were very hard. Everything else was easy and wonderful and we would stay again if we ever came back to Northern Queensland.

Loved the closeness of the beach.
We had a friendly check in. We had a beach front cabin. Loved listening to the sound of the waves at night. Which is a beautiful beach. There was Bush stone curlews wondering the park. Cabin was clean. Enjoyed our stay.

The oceanfront bungalows are just steps away from one of the best of Cairns northern beaches. This is exactly what we wanted - an escape from the busyness of life. The bungalows aren’t fancy but are clean and have everything you need for basic self catering. If you want 5 star, this is not for you - rather stay in Palm Cove. They are also part of the caravan site yet it’s very quiet and relaxing. If you love being right on the beach, getting up early to see the sunrise is amazing!

Absolute ocean frontage. This was a beautiful, relaxing haven. A fantastic self contained cottage that had everything we needed.

Return to Ellis Beach
Beautiful location, however the cabins are showing their age and are due for a refurbishment. Self catering facilities are ok, but limited. Food at nearby cafe is not great.
