The Reef House Adults Retreat - Enjoy 28 Complimentary Inclusions

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at Reef House several times and parts of it are starting to look a little tired. The tracks for the sliding doors - to balcony, bathroom and cupboards- need servicing or replacing. Geneeal maintenance is lacking in parts. Having recently stayed at a newly refurbushed hotel at Noosa this would probably be our preferencecrather than returing to Reef Housre"

Oasis at Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great property, the staff were super friendly and gave great advise about the area and places to visit as well and fantastic advice on places to eat. I would highly recommend"

Melaleuca Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our apartment was perfect for 2 people. It was spotlessly clean, well-appointed and with everything we could need. We had a beautiful view overlooking the garden and the sea beyond. The complex was very quiet and well-located for restaurants, shops and the local bus. We particularly appreciated the private transfers to and from the airport and the opportunity to visit Port Douglas for the Sunday market. Lisa and Peter were very congenial and helpful hosts and we loved our stay."
