The Reef House was one of the first Palm Cove properties built in 1958. ‘Reef House’ was operated by Brigadier Thomson as a private residence where visitors were treated as personal guests. The Reef House is situated in between two World Heritage Listed sites, making it the perfect base for exploring this beautiful region. Discover the incredible Great Barrier Reef on a snorkelling or dive tour, take a trip to the ancient Daintree Rainforest or head to the Atherton Tablelands for a stunning Hot Air Balloon experience. At The Reef House’s goal is to deliver an exceptional experience to every individual through friendly ‘our house’ service and attention to detail. Our luxury accommodation options are at the heart of this philosophy, covering a broad range of rooms, suites and apartments suiting couples, singles or small groups of every size and interest.
