Reviews for The Reef House
Indolence on the shores of the Coral Sea
Such a wonderful place to visit. The location is superb, right opposite the beautiful Coral Sea. The facilities and inclusions are nothing short of luxurious, we particularly love the choice of pools, often favoring the mineral pool- just devine. But the thing that keeps us coming back to this beautiful place is the service. Starting at the very top, and filtering right through all areas, all the staff are top quality, friendly and can’t do enough for you. We arrived this week desperately needing to rest and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Thank you all for our wonderful week.

Overall perfect with service, food, atmosphere and facilities.
From extremely comfortable rooms to going the extra mile with extras such as wine and cocktail sessions, to canapés and punch, cultural and conservation talk. Massages available which are amazing. Relaxing resort and staff so friendly and approachable. From start to finish very relaxing.

An oasis wrapped up in Palm Cove Paradise.
We adored our stay at The Reef House. Wonderful warm staff who ensure your stay is delightful. The Reef House is like a stay with the family you never knew you had only warmer. With wine tasting , cocktail mixing, canape snacking and sorbet time every day at 3 pm by the pool you've found a slice of paradise. Please treat yourself to dinner. It's simply degustational perfection. Thank you Cedric, your warmth and kindness to your staff is palpable in the way you all treat your treasured guests

Reef House - Personalised Service
My daughter and I have just completed our third visit to Reef House in the past 6 months. It is our automatic Go To place in Palm Cove as it’s like ‘coming home’ - from all the staff including restaurant, housekeeping, gardeners and Front Office nothing is too much trouble. We have always been extremely happy with the attention we received from Valerie, who with each visit has personalised our specific needs re accommodation type and pricing - thank you Valerie. But the ‘heart’ of Reef House is the personal warm welcome from Concierge Cederic. He appears to be on call 24/7 and NOTHING is too much trouble. He warmly greets everyone at the entrance as you walk through the magnificent Melaleuca trees and has always personally looked after my daughters and I. From our experiences Reef House caters for many people and different situations, for which we are very grateful - until next time. 🥰

Well worth it!
The Reef House is all about relaxing and rejuvenating. It is an amazing oasis with lovely staff, delicious food and amazing inclusions. Imagine spending a day by the pool with butler service! This was my second trip in 2years and I can’t wait to go back again!
