Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park has seen five owners with Ben and Renae Atherton being the sixth along with their three children; Kira, Sean and Alysse. The whole family are locally born and raised within the Mackay Region. Ben grew up in Sarina, Renae in Pleystowe and now their kids have the ultimate childhood stomping ground; Cape Hillsborough!
Cape Hillsborough began forming approximately thirty million years ago when lava flows covered the area. A remnant of this time is Pinnacle Rock - the Volcanic plug which stands beside the road to Cape Hillsborough. The area was alternately covered with silt and more lava flows and pounded by surf for countless centuries.

This place is fantastic! We had a premium powered site right on the beach front where we could actually see the kangaroos at sunrise on the beach from our bed. The grounds are really well taken care of. The staff (family with three children included) were friendly. The abundance of wildlife was inspiring! Would definitely go back!!!

Hi guys worked out how to do reviews thanks so much for great holiday. We spent 5 nights here and found the owners and staff to be lovely and helpful. Grounds are kept lovely. Amenities clean and maintained. Loved movie every night and thanks to chief pizza and fish and chips beautiful. Pool good also. This is the place to go if you want to see kangaroos and have a pleasant time.

Awesome place to stay. The pool kept my daughter occupied for hours and hours. Great facilities, we pitched a tent so we used the camp kitchen and BBQ. There are kangaroos everywhere, we were literally camping among them. Most amazing experience ever... However, one word of warning, there are A LOT of sandflies. No amount of insect repellant seemed to deter them and we ended up being covered in bites. They don't like oil based repellant so I suggest you get something with an oil base.... Overall, highly recommend staying here. We'll definitely be back (with oil based citronella insect repellant

Paid a little extra to have a powered beachfront site with a camper trailer and was not disappointed! Fantastic views & amenities close by. Newer amenities with family style shower and toilet a small walk but fantastic for those with kids. Seeing the kangaroos on the beach at sunrise was a magical experience too. Pool and water slide was a nice touch!
Only word of warning is the midgies! Keep that bug spray close & remember they can fly through the screen on your tent!

We stayed in a cabin and it was basic but clean and did the job. The location is the winner, right on the beach which was a stunner for sunset and sunrise with the kangaroos.
The restaurant closes at 2pm so there is nowhere to get dinner, that was an unwelcome surprise. Please offer evening meals even if just takeaway pizzas.
We attempted the walk to Wedge Island at low tide but got stuck in quicksand on the beach and cut ourselves on the razor sharp oyster shells on the rock. Stick to the causeway and main path if doing this walk.

Amazing place, animal noises, tranquility as well. Beautiful beach walks. Amazing sunrises. Kangaroos and pretty face wallabies on the beach. Lovely pool with water slides. Amenties kept clean and looked after. Friendly staff and cabins look great too. Caravan spots are fantastic, seperated by bushes,trees so your not looking right at yr neighbour.

We stayed in the beach house for 3 days, very comfortable, would be better value for a family than a couple. We were able to walk onto the beach in a few short steps and saw the kangaroos/wallabies every morning at sunrise. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Please go and visit but don't feed the wildlife🤗
