What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Gourmet Beach Dining

The food at Kewarra Beach Resort was simply excellent! We enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the resort, and I was truly impressed with the quality of the meals. The restaurant has a beautiful setting amidst paperbark trees, and we even had the good experience of dining on the beach one evening, surrounded by music. It felt like a special treat every time! Highly recommend the dining experience here!

Indulgent Spa Experience

I had an very nice reiki and massage session at the spa, and it was one of the best I've ever had! Jess, the masseuse, was intuitive and made the experience both rejuvenating and relaxing. I left feeling completely revitalized, and I would say the spa services were great and essential to my experience at Kewarra!

Charming Private Bungalows

The deluxe beachfront bungalow I stayed in was perfect! It was spacious, well-equipped, and incredibly cozy. I loved being able to sit on the deck and look out over the lagoon. It was a serene spot that truly allowed for relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Refreshing in Nature

The amenities in the bathroom were great, with a peaceful and clean atmosphere. I loved how everything felt fresh and well-maintained. I particularly appreciated the deep shower tray which was quite relaxing after a long day of exploring. It made me feel in tune with the nature surrounding the resort.

Kewarra Beach Resort offers an enchanting escape, perfectly situated in a serene rainforest setting just steps from the golden beach. The bungalows are cozy and surrounded by nature, although they could use some updates. The service is exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff eager to ensure a great experience. The dining was a highlight, especially the buffet breakfast with stunning views, but it would be nice to have more dinner options available. Overall, it’s a great spot for a relaxing getaway with excellent value for money.

My stay at Kewarra Beach Resort was a fantastic experience filled with relaxation and great vibes. The serene location amidst nature allowed for a peaceful retreat, and the amenities were perfectly suited for a laid-back getaway. The food at the restaurant was delightful, particularly the steak dishes and tapas. One minor downside was that the rooms could benefit from some added comfort on the verandas, especially during humid days. Overall, a wonderful place for those looking to unwind in a natural setting.

I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel, nestled in a tropical rainforest that meets a stunning beach. The rooms, designed like chalets on stilts, were clean and comfortable, providing a serene escape, while the service was consistently warm and attentive. The location is simply magical, offering direct beach access amidst lush surroundings. On the dining front, though tasty, the adventurous menu might not appeal to everyone, and some aspects may feel pricey for the options available. Overall, it's a fantastic retreat for both relaxation and adventure.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel, hidden away in the rainforest but just a short walk from a beautiful beach. The ambiance was calming, and I loved seeing kangaroos right outside my window!

Kewarra Beach Resort offers a serene and beautiful setting nestled in a tropical rainforest, with stunning gardens and close proximity to the beach. The cabins are charming and quite enjoyable, perfect for nature lovers. However, the limited dining options and some minor connectivity issues detracted from the experience. Overall, it's a great place to unwind and explore the outdoors, yet some amenities need improvement.
