Currently facing Mondayitis after an absolute peach of a weekend at Castaway on Cowley. Anyone looking for a family weekender on the Cassowary Coast - put this place on your list! We were a group of two families - four adults and four young kids. Plenty of room for all of us. The host (Damien) is warm and super accommodating. Communication was great the whole way through.The location is stunning. A short wander through the garden and down a shaded track to a really picturesque beach. Think Mission Beach in terms of scenery, but without any sign of development. The sense of quiet solitude was exactly what we were after. It felt like a proper switch-off and a great opportunity for the kids to get their hands dirty and explore nature. If you’ve got a boat, the nearby Barnard Islands are an amazing bonus to explore.The house itself is really well set up—we never felt like we were missing anything.Would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!
