Lovely to be able to have a lie in without worrying about maid service disturbance. We were a little disappointed with the size of the room as we had a lot of... More

“Great Place to stay in Palm Cove”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

My daughter and I stayed at the Reef Retreat at the beginning of March and found it very relaxing. The room was clean, spacious and quiet and our balcony over-looked the lovely pool which we used every day. The service was excellent. Our tour to the Great Barrier Reef was organized by Clive and was a great experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we are pleased that the apartment met your expectations and that you enjoyed spending time in the pool, it is a great spot to relax and soak up the tropical nature. Clive & Mary More
