The Reef House Palm Cove

The Reef House is an iconic boutique hotel for adults and couples overlooking the Coral Sea in the tropical village of Palm Cove, 25 minutes north of Cairns. Colonial Tradition offers warm, personalised service with a selection of Boutique Tropical Escape Packages. For Rest, Rejuvenation and Relaxation, the Reef House is an adults only escape and the perfect getaway for couples seeking romantic bliss or simply a holiday in sheer relaxation.

The iconic Reef House overlooks Palm Cove Beach and the Coral Sea and was one of the first hotels to open in Palm Cove in 1972. Relax in the adult's only pool, enjoy canapes & punch each evening, revive with yoga, or indulge in the multi-awarded day spa. Get out and explore the wonders of Tropical North Queensland, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Finish your day with punch & canapés served in the Brigadier's lounge before dining under the stars at the Reef House Restaurant.

Guests staying at The Reef House can relax enjoying the many facilities, inclusions and activies of the resort and Palm Cove, or get out and explore the region to discover the Daintree, Cape Tribulation, the Great Barrier Reef and Atherton Tablelands.

We look forward to welcoming you personally to The Reef House. - Wayne Harris, General Manager

Perfect Palm Cove holiday

Jacqui D Couples - 9/24/2023 TripAdvisor review

Beautiful and well maintained property in a spectacular location. Very comfortable rooms, delicious food (especially the breakfasts) and professional and friendly staff. Absolutely perfect place for couples. Thank you to Cedric and his team for making our stay so memorable.

Bonjour Jacqui D, Thank you very much for your superb review on TripAdvisor following your recent visit to the majestic Reef House. Our colonial style boutique destination for adults is located in a spectacular beachfront location giving you immediately the feeling to be in a different world away from the real life! We know it will not be long before you come back to our bespoke escape! Tropical regards, Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & The Reef House Family

An amazing place to stay!

matt p 9/24/2023 TripAdvisor review

We had the most fantastic 4-night stay at the Reef House. The service and attention to detail from the entire team was 11/10. Breakfast, lunches by the pool and dinner were all excellent. Definitely the best hotel we have stayed at. The pool area and gardens were so relaxing. We loved the luxury of having the option of two different temperature pools (plus spa!). We can't wait to go back.

Bonjour matt p, Thank you very much for taking the time to express your positive feedback on TripAdvisor following your 4 night stay to the sumptuous Reef House. Our two swimming pools (one of them being a heated mineral pool) are always very popular and our pool butler is at your service everyday from 11:00am. We are all looking forward to welcoming you back again in the very near future to our magnificent adults only bespoke escape! Tropical regards, Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & The Reef House Family

Hospitality beyond expectations

rickw467 9/23/2023 TripAdvisor review

We stayed here to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and couldn’t fault the attention to detail and keenness of the staff in ensuring our visit was more than memorable. From the warm and inviting hospitality displayed by The Reef House Team, the sumptuous meals and amazing view from the deck, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return one day.

Bonjour Rick W, Thank you very much for your beautiful feedback on TripAdvisor following your recent visit to the superb Reef House. Where else but our unique bespoke escape for adults to celebrate your 40th wedding anniversary? Once again congratulations for such a special celebration! Our international team members and myself are looking forward to more memories in the near future! Tropical regards, Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & The Reef House Family

A wonderfully relaxing stay

PhillipO56 9/23/2023 TripAdvisor review

This is a wonderful hotel , the service and staff are exemplary. So welcoming, friendly , attentive but unobtrusive. Some of the facilities are showing their age but this did not detract from our stay.

Bonjour Phillip O, Thank you very much for your kind words on TripAdvisor following your recent visit to the splendid Reef House. Once you arrive in our luxurious beachfront colonial style boutique retreat for adults you immediately feel in another world where our team members treat you like celebrities and our daily activities give you the opportunity to mingle with other guests! We are all looking forward to welcoming you again when you are travelling back to beautiful Australia! Tropical regards, Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & The Reef House Family

Just Wonderful

newycouple 9/23/2023 TripAdvisor review

Hubby and I visited theReef House Palm Cove for the second time this year and once again it didn’t disappoint. What an absolutely awesome place to celebrate a special occasion or just to treat yourself and your special someone. The staff are amazing and attentive be that those in housekeeping , reception, bar, restaurant even those that attend to teach stretching , yoga etc or to give cultural talks … All of the little inclusions at the Reef House just make your visit even better..who doesn’t love canapés and cocktails by the pool every afternoon or a bowl of sorbet while you lie in the sun relaxing. The worst part of our 5 days was leaving to drive home. Thank you guys for making our time with you so enjoyable.

Bonjour newycouple, Thank you very much for your amazing review on TripAdvisor following your recent second visit this year to the incredible Reef House. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or treating yourself our adults only bespoke escape is the perfect destination to rest, relax and rejuvenate in an amazing environment in the heart of the superb tropical village of Palm Cove! We know it will not be long before you come back for your third stay! Tropical regards, Cédric Lootvoet Luxury Concierge & The Reef House Family
