Wow what an extraordinary holiday. Can you picture a white and terracotta style boutique destination fronting the azzure blue coral sea - stunning ancient Melaleuca trees guarding the entrance. Warm welcoming smiles from staff -a chilled refreshing towel, a gin cocktail to wash away the exhaustion of travel. This is a welcome. I am in a happy place ready to relax deciding which of the 2 pools I will swim and breathe in the lovely clean air of North Queensland. The 2 ingredients for a successful and happy holiday are good food and courteous, helpful staff. I rate The Reef House 11 out of 10 and cannot wait for a return visit.

The Reef House is a place that you want to keep returning. The staff are extremely courteous and always acknowledge with a smile and a cheerful greeting. I would have no hesitation in recommending this resort to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday away from stress and the day to day worries of life back home.

The wonderful Cedric and the team made our stay so special. Thank you for having us in your paradise. A restful getaway to remember.

Nice room and view and most of the staff were lovely, however price certainly does not reflect what the package sells, I would say the inclusions were more targeted at seniors. Water aerobics etc. The breakfast was average and poor coffee. Dinner was lovely however and the pool and service at the poor was great!

My husband & I enjoyed our holiday with Reef House-the second time we have stayed there - to escape Melbourne's cold winter & to just relax which is exactly what we did. The service provided by all the staff, without exception, was first class. The atmosphere was quiet & peaceful, the menu on offer was varied & of excellent quality. We would not hesitate to return to Reef House & very happy to suggest a stay there to friends.
