About Seventeen Seventy

Seventeen Seventy is a perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Tucked away from major roads and traffic this town promises quiet and undisturbed family or romantic time. For those looking for a more active holiday, such as groups of friends or excursions, there are a quite a few exciting choices:

What to do in Seventeen Seventy

Why not start by exploring the place first. Rent a scooter with your friends and explore Seventeen Seventy in a new dimension. Load the tank with $5 worth of petrol and cruise the whole day! Keep an eye on traffic and make sure you protect yourself against the tropical sun. Wind and good fun can distract you from feeling your skin sizzle in the sun which would cause the lobster-effect the very same day and much pain the next.

Cruise to Lady Musgrave Island is a must. Seventeen Seventy offers the closes point to the outer Great Barrier Reef from Brisbane. It would be shame to get that close and not visit the beautiful reef and the abundant sea life. Make sure you book your cruise in well in advance when in peak season. The cruise involves a range of sea and land activities and it takes up a whole day. Make sure you bring your camera, sunscreen and towels. Food and drinks are included.

Next day could be a day on the Larc – a pink amphibian vehicle, somewhat of a local trademark attraction. For those for taste for more independent and exciting activities, why not hire a boat or a jet ski for some fast action. Fishing in Seventeen Seventy is an exciting and rewarding experience where you are almost guaranteed to catch something. Experts, of course can utilise the best of their skills in catching something special (or big!). For those who don’t plan to eat their catch, Seventeen Seventy offers café style food made with fresh seafood and local ingredients. Agnes Water (about 5 minutes drive) has a wider choice of foods ranging from good old Aussie style breakfast, grill, seafood and Asian food.

Where to stay in Seventeen Seventy

Like any other tourist town, Seventeen Seventy offers a range of accommodation options from camping to luxury villas. In line with your budget choose wisely and make sure you find what is appropriate for you and your lifestyle. Our recommendation is a getaway style resort called 1770 Getaway which is right across the road from beautiful and unspoilt beaches, surrounded with native, tropical flora and close to town centre. Even if you feel lazy to walk 300m to the beach you can still plunge in the swimming pool and relax for a while. We find 1770 Getaway to be a perfect balance of privacy and convenience. All villas are fully self-contained, air-conditioned and clean. Retreat owners are most friendly people willing to accommodate you in every possible way.
