A brief overview of the accommodation options in CAPE TRIBULATION
Best area to stay in CAPE TRIBULATION
Although there is no central township to visit in Cape Tribulation as such, there is a “hub” of sorts located directly opposite Myall Beach near Mason’s Cafe and a watering hole.

Many of the Cape Tribulation accommodation options recommended on this list are close to this mini-hub.
