Where are we?

Cape Hillsborough Nature Resort is in the heart of the Cape Hillsborough National Park which is situated 47km north of Mackay, 750km south of Cairns and 1000km north of Brisbane, Australia.

The nearest airport is Mackay (check QANTAS or Virgin Blue or Jet Star for flight details) and with no scheduled bus services to the resort you would need to rent a car.

When driving to the resort there are three entry points from the Bruce Highway.
