Search Cabbage Tree Island hotels

The best area to stay on Cabbage Tree Island is the main settlement, which is concentrated around the island's central bay.


This area is the island's only developed hub, offering direct access to the main jetty and the small collection of essential services. You'll find the island's only general store here, along with a few local eateries. The layout is quite simple, with paths leading from the jetty to accommodations and the nearby sandy beach known as Horseshoe Bay.


Couples looking for a tranquil escape will find this area ideal. It offers a remote and peaceful setting, superb for disconnecting. The proximity to the main beach means easy access for swimming and relaxing, and the limited development ensures a quiet experience.


For solo travellers seeking a restorative break, staying in the main settlement provides convenient access to the island's walking trails, which often start from this central point.

The best time to go to Cabbage Tree Island is during the Australian winter and spring, specifically from May to October.


During these months, the weather is generally dry and sunny, with comfortably mild temperatures. This period avoids the hotter, more humid summer months and the higher chance of rainfall. The calmer seas also make for a more pleasant journey to the island and better conditions for water activities.


This timeframe is particularly ideal for nature enthusiasts and those interested in wildlife observation. The cooler, drier weather makes exploring the island's walking tracks more enjoyable. It also coincides with the prime whale watching season, as humpback whales migrate along the coast, offering spectacular viewing opportunities from the island's viewpoints.
