Townsville & Mission Beach
Close to a quiet stretch of beach, Scotty's is a YHA hostel with modest rooms grouped around a grassy pool area. Management is tapped into the east coast circuit and keen to help guests capitalise on their adventure.
Out front, Scotty’s Bar & Grill, open to nonguests, has something happening virtually every night, from fire-twirling shows to pool comps to live music.
