Kewarra Beach Resort Cairns

Kewarra Beach Resort is located a short distance north of the bustling city of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is ten to fifteen minutes drive from the Resort to the airport, and perhaps twenty minutes drive to the heart of Cairns. Far enough away from the city to enjoy the tranquil seclusion and “get away from it all” atmosphere that envelopes this wonderful resort, but close enough to be convenient. All day tours will collect you from the resort and return you back at the end of the day.

Kewarra’s Private Beach

Kewarra is unusual in the area due to the fact it has its own private beachfront - beautiful sandy beach facing out onto the azure Coral Sea. Even in mid winter, the water temperature remains over 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius), with the ocean making a wonderful alternative to the resort’s swimming pools for a refreshing dip.

Water is very much a feature of Kewarra, with a lovely lagoon also serving as centre-piece for many of the private units.

In addition to Kewarra’s private beach frontage, there is also a tasteful recreational natural swimming pool area. No tasteless chlorinated “lap pool” here, just a lovely relaxing area, complete with waterfall and lots of area to lie in the sun on the pool edge. The resort is beautifully spread out over a 70 acre paradise of private beach frontage, brilliant gardens, and natural forest in a tasteful environment that reflects the region’s unique cultural heritage and ecology. The resort offers idyllic views of wonderful plants that gently surround you in this lovely natural paradise. With all the different plants, there are over 160 different species of birds to fill the area with color, and a multitude of different butterflies, including the magnificent Ulysses butterfly, to be found in a rich diversity of habitats.

The Accommodation at Kewarra

Kewarra offers a selection of accommodation styles to suit your taste. All units are, of course, beautifully furnished and appointed, and have the latest in quiet air conditioning and all modern conveniences for your total comfort.

Two main styles of units are available - what are known as “mouds” (a South Pacific islander term for bures or units).

The Koi mouds are semi-detached in small blocks, and face out onto a lovely setting featuring a crocquet lawn.

Most popular are the premium Waraka mouds. These are individually placed in lovely private settings, each with its own balcony where you can sit and relax in our unique ambience.

A variation on the Waraka moud is the Bhutu moud, designed for families with more than two people wishing to share one unit.

Lastly, for a priviledged few, there is the special Timara Suite. This is a restored Queenslander style cottage, with lovely balconies on three sides, set on a small island within our lagoon.
