Activities and Entertainment: A variety of included activities—yoga, aqua aerobics, cultural experiences, and board games—allowed guests to relax or connect with others. The availability of bikes for exploring Palm Cove and beyond was another highlight.

房子設施實在是老舊了,配不上價格,不過旅遊勝地也衹能這樣了。另外,服務是沒有的,行李入房到行李離店全部客户自己搬。周圍環境美到無可挑剔,但吃飯肯定沒有住凱恩斯市裡選擇多

An enormous thank you to the whole team for making our short stay so very special. It's hard to return to reality after experiencing paradise! We'll miss our stunning views and delicious brekky, poolside sorbet, the relaxing mineral pool, the incredibly friendly staff and the sounds of nature.

We had a few special occasions to celebrate, and this destination proved to be the perfect choice. Although we had originally planned to explore Cairns, the moment we arrived we knew we didn’t want to leave. Our days unfolded effortlessly—yoga in the mornings, walks and bike rides, indulgent facials, wine appreciation and cocktail classes, swims in the two pools, relaxing with a book, and fantastic conversations with fellow guests. The staff were exceptional—always warm, attentive, and eager to make our stay memorable. Truly, there was nothing we would have changed. We left already dreaming of a return visit and are especially keen to experience Mt. Lofty and Sequoia next time.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Reef House Adult retreat and it certainly did not dissappointed. From the time we stepped into the retreat we were treated with respect and nothing was too much trouble.

We had a wonderful stay at The Reef House. They organised everything for us from tours to transport and an early breakfast box. Our special 3 course meal was magnificent, I would return just for the saltwater barramundi alone. Breakfast was yum. The inclusion were great fun, the cocktail workshop, wine appreciated, sorbet poolside and punch and canapés were terrific. Our room was beautiful with the aromatherapy burner operating all our stay. The mineral pool was fabulous along with the pool service made us feel special. The staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you for our gifts, water bottles, caps and the reef house book. Looking forward to coming back.

My wife and I spent 7 fabulous nights at the Reef House Adults Retreat last week August 16-23. It was a pure accommodation experience. From the Tropical gardens and two pools to the magical dinning area futuring giant Maleluka trees towerng through the floor. The entire restaurant team was wonderful. A welcoming smile each morning from the waiter staff and the first class chefs turn out stella meals from breakfast to fine dining dinners. Oh and how can we forget the included Seafood Platter. Housekeeping kept our room beautifully presented each day for that true premium stay feel. The couples massage we also had was AAA+, in a peaceful tranquil setting I could go on and on, but I won't. For a true, first class FNQ accommodation experience, you cannot go past the Reef House. Total relaxing premium Adults Holiday.

Love all the extras making the retreat so special, beach yoga, aqua aerobics, cocktail making, wine appreciation and canapé pre dinner time. Love using the mineral pool seems to help my arthritis and love the tranquility and service of the retreat.
