This tropical coastal getaway is the ideal location for you to relax, explore and unwind. Located on Queensland’s Discovery Coast, Seventeen Seventy (1770) can best be described as Byron Bay twenty years ago. The town of Seventeen Seventy (1770) is well known for its laid-back and easy going way of life.

Known as the “birthplace of Queensland,” Seventeen Seventy was the location that Captain James Cook first set foot in Australia, in May 1770, hence the name!
