Reviews for The Reef House

Simply the Best!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

The Reef House is unique, you arrive and it wraps itself around you in a warm embrace. It’s not a modern hotel but it has so much charm, the staff are superb so welcoming, friendly and efficient. The complementary inclusions the nightly canapés and punch, also their cocktail making classes encourages interaction with other guests creating such a friendly atmosphere. This has been our second visit and we will return again and again such a beautiful hotel in Palm Cove !

Stunning

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Gorgeous hotel! We arrived late at night and the gentleman gave us a lovely welcome. We had a welcome drink and a quick tour of the hotel then we were showed to our room which was so nice. Very spacious and tidy. This hotel has a classic rustic feel to it which I really enjoyed. Plenty of sunbeds available around the pools, also a choice of heated or cold swimming pool which is nice. The breakfast was delicious! The location is also ideal, plenty of bars, restaurants and also a convenience store nearby. The beach is gorgeous and just across the road from the hotel. I would definitely recommend this property if you’re looking for a peaceful couples retreat!

The Reef House is a home away from home within a uniquely friendly and comfortable setting - most services are provided by young, enthusiastic, international staff members who have very interesting backgrounds to enjoy.
