Newell Beach
Newell Beach
An ideal base for exploring nearby Port Douglas, Cairns, the World Heritage Daintree rainforests and the incomparable Great Barrier Reef.
Most visitors arrive in Far North Queensland via Cairns International Airport.
Newell Beach is 80 kilometres to the north and the journey takes just over an hour by road – but don’t imagine it will be dull.
You’ll be travelling along one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal roads – with stunning views of the Coral Sea. Maybe you’ll see dolphins on the way?
Our luxury accommodation at Newell Beach is located right on the beach. Just twenty five metres separates the house and the Coral Sea. This is a perfect environment for honeymoons, intimate business meetings and unforgettable family holidays!
Newell Beach is a dream come true for many holiday-makers. Quiet and secluded, with 2.5km of golden sand, Newell offers exceptional swimming, diving and fishing.
Boating enthusiasts love this part of the Coral Sea; beach-lovers adore the unspoiled sands and fabulous climate.
Absolute is such an idyllic self-contained holiday home.. some guests never want to move once they arrive!
But if you feel like company, shops and great restaurants, the charming village of Port Douglas – a favourite celebrity haunt – is a few minutes drive south.
Port Douglas Marina Mirage is the departure point for many reef trips. Our nearby rainforests are also a must-see; local rainforest tour operators can pick you up from the door.

Far North Queensland
Far North Queensland (FNQ) is a magnet for visitors from all over the world.
It is blessed with TWO World Heritage natural attractions: the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics tropical rainforests.
The Great Barrier Reef: utterly spectacular!Best known is the Great Barrier Reef – truly one of the natural Wonders of the World. This gigantic inter-connected web of coral reefs extends hundreds of kilometers up the coastline of the Coral Sea. It’s a marine paradise!
The Great Barrier Reef provides unparalleled opportunities for snorkeling and diving. Even visitors who like to stay out of the water enjoy spectacular sight-seeing on reef trips.
The ‘Wet Tropics’ is the other World Heritage attraction of the region.
This is Australia’s largest remaining area of rainforest – home to a unique assembly of wildlife which has more in common with New Guinea than southern Australia..
From Newell Beach, you’re only an hour from Cape Tribulation and the Daintree rainforests.
Speewah at dawn
These forests provide what may be the finest rainforest experience on offer in Australia.
Take time to savour the amazing primary forests with their gigantic ancient trees! See if you can spot a Cassowary, the overlords of these forests, found only in FNQ and Papua New Guinea.
There are more wonderful walks, waterfalls and delightful places on the Atherton Tablelands. Attractively cooler in high summer, the Tablelands are also within easy reach of Newell Beach and Port Douglas.
If you want company, entertainment, sport and nightlife, there’s plenty of action in Port Douglas – and much more in Cairns, the regional capital, less than an hour away.
Cairns boasts many fine restaurants, nightclubs, cafes.. even a casino.
Whichever of our luxury rental properties takes your fancy – all these attractions and more are in easy reach.
Come to Far North Queensland for the holiday of a lifetime!
