The Reef Retreat setting is very nice and tranquil. The only drawback for us was our room was a top floor one. We had lots of suitcases due to our cruise before we disembarked in Cairns. The location is very good and close to many restaurants. The room was comfortably and had everything we needed.

We loved our stay — the apartment was comfortable and well planned, and the trees in the central court provided shade and coolness. Will come again.

Lovely surroundings in the better end of Palm Cove. Beware some apartments are on the 3rd Floor with no lift.

Proprietors and other staff were very helpful. The location is great. The room and kitchenette were comfy.
The one thing that was unpleasant was the bathroom had sliding doors with slats, which did not provide any sound barrier between the bathroom and bedroom.

Great place - I would definitely stay here again, right in the heart of Palm Cove. Only downside was heater in pool was not working the second week of my stay, though I know they were trying to get it fixed - I'm sure it's good by now. Beautiful grounds, loved the balconey, the "library", laundry. Even provided a rack for drying clothes and an umbrella in my unit. Great place!

Excellent position just off the beach, and lots of great restaurants nearby. Very quiet and relaxing, the pool is surrounded by large original trees, it’s like swimming in the rain forest.

This a great place to stay for a longer visit to the area. Room was very spacious and well appointed. There is a binder in the unit that details everything you need to know about the property (laundry) and surrounding area. Having access to laundry on the property was fantastic and the machines did a great job ($9 AUD). The Beach is just around the corner from the property - amazing paths with access to shops, restaurants -- ideal vacation spot - so laid back. Palm Cove is a gem - less than an hour to Port Douglas and the drive is so beautiful, yet very windy roads. Highly recommend Palm Cove area.

The Reef Retreat was perfect for the few nights we were is Cairns. The pool and A/C made the heat a little more bearable and Jim was always available to assist with cabs/transport bookings and offer advice.
50m from the beach and the esplanade, which leads in both directions to a variety of excellent shops, bars and eateries.

We stayed for a week at the Reef Retreat Palm Cove, and enjoyed every minute. While we booked a spa room, we didn't use the spa at all as the pool and outside spa were too amazing to pass up. Our villa overlooked the pool, with ample privacy to not feel exposed. It was clean, the outdoor kitchen was well equipped (though also unused - so many options for meals in walking distance), and the king bed was very comfortable. Jim was friendly and helpful, and we'll definitely be back.
