The fabulous restaurants and cafes of Port Douglas and Mossman will no doubt beckon, and options vary from the internationally famous Nautilus, or casually chic Salsa Bar in Port Douglas, to the fabulous French-focussed cuisine of Mojos of Mossman, or Silky Oaks Restaurant near the Mossman Gorge.

But To the Beach...on Newell will tempt you to stay in, with a gourmet kitchen that features European stainless steel appliances including electric oven and gas cook-top, large side by side fridge, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen enjoys a servery opening to the pool patio, plus an island breakfast bar.

The setting is a major ingredient of any memorable meal. Days at To the Beach...on Newell get off to a great start with breakfast on the beachfront veranda, and often slip towards a conclusion under candlelight around the teak dining table, or a barbeque at the beach cabana, all with the Coral Sea splashing onto Newell in the background. No restaurant can compete with that!
