Kewarra Beach is a stunning coastal destination in Far North Queensland, just north of Cairns. The area is known for its pristine beaches, calm waters, and abundant wildlife, including dolphins, turtles, and rare birds. The nearby Kewarra Beach Resort offers a variety of activities, from relaxing on the beach to exploring the Great Barrier Reef. With its tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty, Kewarra Beach is the perfect tropical escape.

The best way to explore Cairns and the surrounding northern beaches is by hiring a vehicle, giving you the flexibility to visit the city, lush rainforests, and picturesque coastal spots at your own pace.

Delightful Driftwood House
Very comfortable, well appointed home in a quiet neighbourhood. We loved the large undercover deck area beside the pool. Well located within a short drive of all the attractions we wanted to visit. A very enjoyable stay.

Perfect property
A perfect house for our family of 6. The kids loved the pool and there was plenty of space for everyone. The location is an easy quick drive to cairns centre and to visit waterfalls and the beach. We all very much enjoyed our stay here

Kewarra Beach Stay
We did enjoy our stay, despite the airconditioners in two of the bedrooms not working. The Cosie Homes team did make every effort to resolve the problem but they needed replacing which was not able to be done during our time there. Fortunately the evenings were not too hot so we managed ok. The home was presented very well and in a quiet neighbourhood.
