Reviews for The Reef House
Reef House never disappoints
Never disappoints. Wonderful staff. Beautiful surroundings and totally relaxing. It was our third visit and loved it just as much as previously. Our King Balcony room was amazing, breakfast each day was excellent and our three course dinner was amazing.

Top Notch in FNQ
We live about 1hr up the road from Reef House and have now done 2 annual short stays at the venue and intend to make it an annual event. The way Reef House is run is exemplary and this is mostly down to the friendly and professional staff they employ. In a world where balancing the books is becoming trickier for businesses involved in the tourist industry, you'll find no cutting of corners here. From the moment you arrive you will be made to feel special and parting will be "such sweet sorrow". Try the experience for yourself, its top notch but also brilliant value. Well done Reef House!

Relaxation and Luxury
We loved our return to The Reef House Palm Cove. From the moment we arrived it was luxury and relaxation, with the most amazing staff. Shout out to Janet and Cedric, so friendly and helpful. Our package included a seafood platter, and I unexpectedly yet gratefully received a fish and steak dish complements of the chef due to my shellfish allergy, this type of attention to detail and generosity is going above and beyond. Merci The Reef House, Jen & Scott

The divine Reef House, our home away from home
This was our second visit to Reef House and it was even more enjoyable than the first time. It was like coming home. It’s such a very special place, peaceful, tranquil and delicious. The view to the Coral Sea is stunning. You’re greeted by two Centurions at the gate, majestic Melaleuca Trees, absolute giants, then by smiling welcoming staff who treat you like family. No one ever says no, always yes. The food is delicious and the ‘butler’ service at the Tranquility Pool is so special. The massage was divine. We slept so well during our stay, the bed was so comfortable. We also made good friends with other guests during our stay. Just delightful. Thank you Cedric for another divine holiday! See you next year!

Reef House Heaven
Beautiful resort. Five star, friendly services. You’re treated as a valued ‘family’ guest not just a ‘check in’. We loved our second time under the palms and melaleucas. Room, dining, and pool are so lovely.
