The Reef House is a little piece of history in paradise! The staff all so accommodating. Our second visit and just can’t wait to go back.

We had a few special occasions to celebrate, and this destination proved to be the perfect choice. Although we had originally planned to explore Cairns, the moment we arrived we knew we didn’t want to leave. Our days unfolded effortlessly—yoga in the mornings, walks and bike rides, indulgent facials, wine appreciation and cocktail classes, swims in the two pools, relaxing with a book, and fantastic conversations with fellow guests. The staff were exceptional—always warm, attentive, and eager to make our stay memorable. Truly, there was nothing we would have changed. We left already dreaming of a return visit and are especially keen to experience Mt. Lofty and Sequoia next time.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Reef House Adult retreat and it certainly did not dissappointed. From the time we stepped into the retreat we were treated with respect and nothing was too much trouble.

This retreat has seemingly thought of all of the 1%ers that make for a comfortable, convenient, relaxing and enjoyable stay. Everything at the retreat has been thought through carefully for the guests relaxation and enjoyment. From the free bike hire, to the help yourself bar, to the multiple pools at different temperatures. Staff were all very friendly and helpful and went the extra mile to ensure our stay was as special as possible. Thank you!
