The Reef House - MGallery Collection

The Reef House Resort & Spa is situated amongst tranquil tropical gardens and ancient towering paperbark trees. The colonial-style architecture is designed to capture the romance of the tropics and the charm of a bygone era. Candle-lit corridors and fresh white washed walls give way to three pristine pools and two spas. The award winning Reef House Restaurant offers a superb dining experience with unsurpassed ocean views, while the poolside cafe is the perfect spot to enjoy a light snack, meal, or cocktail beside the hotel’s freshwater pool, shaded by palm trees, rambling bougainvillea and a cascading waterfall.

Previously a VIP guesthouse owned by Army Brigadier David Thompson, The Reef House Resort and Spa has maintained its history and traditions throughout the years. Every evening candles are lit around the resort at sundown and guests gather to share their stories over a complimentary glass of Brigadiers Punch. The resort also boasts the only true honour bar on mainland Australia, similar to an Officers Mess from yesteryear.

Each of the 69 rooms and suites feature oversize beds draped in light muslin netting, warm teak furniture and wide verandahs to ensure guests are given an “experience”, not just a room. Some rooms also offer a private Jacuzzi and twin bedding is also available upon request.

Complimentary book and board game library and exceptional service are just some of the additional features on offer at The Reef House Resort & Spa to ensure your stay is memorable.

The resort's three pools are framed by shaded pathways and vibrant tropical flora, creating a magnificent backdrop to candle-lit corridors and white wash buildings. Take your pick from two picturesque freshwater pools, a sheltered saltwater pool or two inviting spas (one of which is heated).
