Wongaling Beach

First stayed here in 1986. Amazing how it’s held up and still superb on every count. Came when there was a manager family on site, now it’s managed by the gals at Tropical Property who are professional, efficient, just great. All the check-in details are contact-free, cover every detail and always ready to help. Can’t quite explain how beautiful this beach is, how fabulous the beachfront views of Dunk and the smaller islands are, and the two best units (8 & 9) for couples. More than ‘units’, they are bright, large spacious apartments with timber casements and louvres all around and the many windows and bifold doors. It all feels very FNQ, very tropical getaway. All amenities you’d need for a week or two-week stay provided. Appliances near new (in #8), beds are  firm with crisp linens, tons of fluffy towels, newish refurbished bathroom with good shower heads (in #8), lots of hot water, good pressure, lovely airy cane/rattan furniture. Streaming TV (good for rainy days), and lots of tasteful decorative items and artwork. New aircon in lounge (reverse for colder nights). The cleaning crew keeps the apartments spotless, and there’s tons of cleaning products for longer stays. Grounds are kept immaculate and it all adds to that tropical getaway feel. Amazing how a resort complex can go the distance over the decades – through Larry & Yasi – and not lose its quality, ambience, and of course you can never mess with the views. Beach is wide at low tide, usually empty except for a few morning and evening walkers. Now that Dunk’s been sold again, with the possibility of a dramatic ‘eco’ renewal after the last investor debacle, come and enjoy now before the pre-Olympics rush is on in the next few years.

Fab slice of paradise

Our apartment was absolute beach front though sadly the weather wasn't particularluy pleasant with a strong on-shore wind dampening our spirits a little. The accommodation was satisfactory, well presented though perhaps a little on the tired side (a leaking roof during a rain shower). Good undercover car parking was a bonus as is its proximity to the Mission Beach eateries. Our unit was particularly well thought out with the upstairs bedroom leading out on to a balcony. A new Weber Q BBQ is included, a great addition. Pity about the weather, but we would reuse the accommodation.

Two nights at Wongaling Beach

We stayed in apartment 2 for 4 nights in November and absolutely loved it. It is beach front with magnificent views over to Dunk Island. Pool area was clean, large and enticing. 
The apartment had everything you needed plus more and is on 2 levels. Large supermarket close by. Attended local yoga classes which were a bonus.
And spotted a cassowary.
Thoroughly recommeded.

Magical

What a great holiday!we had 4 apartments in this complex number 7&9 where the best but all very comfortable,pool was great, if I had to be picky the ovens are not great but we wanted to cook and most don’t,so probably not a big deal.the girls at tropical properties could not have been better to deal with. We will definitely be back

Wongalinga apartments

This place is great, we stayed in Unit 3, right above the pool. Unit 3 is a 3 bedroom unit, but to call it a unit is unfair. This is the size of a generous 3 bedroom home. 

The living area is massive and you have another massive deck at your disposal, all tiled, with beautiful views of Dunk Island.

The nice touches were the welcome pack and the music playing as we entered, not our type of music, but relaxing, soft and just right. 

Some little touches were not so nice, the place was clean, but not perfectly so, 10 dirty Easter eggs wrappers in the kids bedside table drawers, some with chocolate still on them. The kids rooms (rooms with twin beds) were not as clean as the rest of the property. Not dirty by any means but the louvres (all timber) and surrounds were very dirty/dusty. For children with hay fever issues, not ideal, but certainly not a deal breaker.

Unfortunately there was no mention of a credit card fee until after we booked in a confirmation email sent to us. $13 added on to the $650. This is annoying as we booked over the phone and should have been told, again, not a deal breaker. Book with another online agency and you don’t get stung the extra fees to get the same unit. 

Parking in a large car is terrible, if you are over 2.1m forget about it. Very narrow parks surrounded by huge concrete pillars. We parked undercover the first night but on the street the second.

Overall, this place is awesome, a 9 out of 10. So many things done wonderfully, the appliances (not high end but functional), the furniture was lovely. It is very relaxing, in a wonderful part of Far North Queensland. I would go back in a heartbeat, but I would book with a different agent to avoid those little fees.



Awesome, not perfect, but pretty darn good and worth 5 stars

You can not fault the location of this place. The views are spectacular. Walking straight out to the beach front is another positive. The pool is great and the landscaping is beautiful. We stayed in a group in two of the units. The units are very large with plenty of room for everyone. Plenty to do in mission beach. I would completely recommend to everyone - we have been here a number of times and keep coming back. 

Perfect location

We stayed in number 7 at Wongalinga Apartments and it was superb!  The location of the apartments is sensational with beautifully manicured tropical gardens and a view over the water to Dunk Island.  The apartment itself was elegantly furnished with a tropical feel, spacious rooms and a great bath!  My only small criticism would be the kitchen which was not really equipped for home cooking of any real degree.  Overall - gorgeous, would go back in a heartbeat!

Paradise Found!

Stayed 2 nights in room 8 great view of beach with large balcony fully equipped kitchen large dining table and couches. Has 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom with good shower with separate toilet. Small laundry with washing machine and dryer and detergent. Right on beach and good parking. Will stay again. 

Fantastic 

We stayed one night in Unit 6 and regret not staying longer. This is a small set of two-storey apartments. We had a basement floor with a beautiful garden and direct access to the huge beach. The setting is paradise. The sunrise in particular is very beautiful. The apartment was very large with 3 beautiful bedrooms and a huge living room. Tres well equipped to cook there. The set is a bit elongated from Mission Beach (about 10 minutes by car). There is a supermarket nearby for shopping and shopping. Tres good choice of accommodation!
