Tully River hydro maintenance: NO RAFTING from 04-22nd August!!!!!!!

July 7th, 2008

Future guests, you may need to amend your travel dates!!! 

Due to un-avoidable maintenance on the hydro generators by power company Stanwell Pty Ltd, there will be a cessation of rafting on the mighty Tully between Monday  4th and Friday 22nd August.

To experience this fantastic full day adventure, consider altering your itinary to take this unfortunate closure into account. Good luck and happy travels.

Peak season in Mission Beach

July 7th, 2008

Wow! July already??!!!

As the Southern parts of Oz shiver through the chilliest time of the year, we here at Scotty`s enjoy fine days (25 C average) and crisp,clear nights (18 C average) for the next couple of months, which is why “deep, dark winter” is our peak season. Booking ahead is very important as a result, so call or email when you have dates in mind.

Rafting and skydiving are just a couple of the great experiences Mission Beach offers, especially in these ’stinger free’ months, when everything aquatic is optimal. There`s sea kayaking, Barrier Reef cruises, catamaran sailing, trips to Dunk Island and fishing to add to guests` Oz adventure list, and our expert reception staff are only too happy to assist  with helpful information and tips. Our East Coast tour knowledge is also second to none and widely venerated by satisfied travellers, with years of experience giving us the edge in which tours best suit both budgets and , more importantly, expectations.

Guests come to Mission Beach to enjoy a “real” beach experience: with our enormous gardens, hammocks and chillaxed atmosphere, we`ve got it in spades! Book early to avoid missing out on the best beach side backpackers in the North. 

Even MORE fun at Scotty`s and the Mother of all party`s!!!!(We turn 20!!!YAY!!)

April 18th, 2008

Scotty`s has long been famous for our friendly staff, great atmosphere and for the amazing experiences we have in store for our guests: our latest initiatives add even more to this tradition.

Every Monday night is our very own ”private” hostel fancy dress party at nearby Mint Cafe!Tasty food, cold drinks and lots of laughs! Past themes have been St.Patricks day, Bollywood Dance party, Cowboys and Indians and ,of course, Mexican night. This Monday is a P Party (priests, pilots, pianists and pixies are all the go) and future themes include 1001 Arabian Nights and 70`S Night, man….

( Check out Facebook groups ‘Ii worked or stayed at Scotty`s Beach House’ and ‘Mint after dark’ for some bitchin pix.This is how we roll @Scotty`s….)

Then, Tuesday nights sees the return of the famous Scotty`s BBQ and fire show. Juicy steaks, salad and spuds served to  DJ Corey`s funky tunes out by the pool, with amazing fire twirling rounding off a satisfying and atmospheric evening. Add these two nights to the popular pool comps, live music and DJ`s at nearby Scotty`s Bar and Grill and the other local bars and you have a wide choice of night time entertainment. And if a quiet night in is more your style, the 24 hr media room, with Fox sports and DVD`s for hire, is always available as Plan B.

AND NOW, FOR OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION: SCOTTY`S MONSTER 20 TH BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Scotty`s milestone event, a HUGE `80s party to celebrate two decades of GOOD TIMES!! Yes, on May the 9th, we invite early bookers to GET IN QUICK and be part of the fun celebrating Scotty`s 20th anniversary with some tasty complimentary DINNER, BYO drinks and the best music of the times. Dress in 80s fashion (big hair, mullets,leg-warmers, flares, green and blue eye shadow,etc) to feel part of the event as legendary Cairns two piece The Bourbon Gorillas keep the party jumping. Prizes for best costume and best dancer.

 So, for an unbeatable East Coast experience of rafting, skydiving, skin diving, sea kayaking or just relaxing to the max in the best old-fashioned backpackers in the North, get in early and book ahead to avoid disappointment.
