"We have been staying at the Lakes Resort when visiting Cairns for the last 15 years. We have stayed in the one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom apartments and each time it has felt like home away from home. Our rooms are always clean, beautifully decorated. The only suggestions I have would be to add a coffee machine to the kitchen for an extra touch of indulgance and a selection of board games in the family apartments."

"The location was perfect—right on the marina and close to all the activities around the reef and shopping plus parks and restaurants. The staff were amongst some of the friendliest and most helpful we’ve had on our travels!"

Outstanding lodge in a nature reserve with great facilities and friendly helpful staff. The chalet accommodation was spotless, comfortable and very well equipped, and the location in the nature reserve was great. The food in the restaurant was excellent. Only stayed one night, but wish we had stayed at least one more. Having said that, it was not cheap, but good value for what was on offer.

We spent a lovely holiday at the Reef House. Our timing was perfect as the hotel was very quiet. The ambience was great; the food in the restaurant superb and the room very comfortable. Palm Cove is a peaceful haven and we were able to explore the surrounding area at our own pace - The Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Forest, the Tablelands etc... The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Location, location, location.... 20m from the beach, ocean view on a very quiet road. Standard amenites close by. Excellent base for seeing the area. Recommend the beach front buildings, upper floors if you want the view. We were only there 5 days & wished we'd had longer

Easy to follow instructions. Lovely location. Convenient under cover parking. Very clean accommodation. The kitchen is well equipped. I really can’t fault my experience at all. Would definitely return.

Lovely secluded spot overlooking Atherton. Amazing facilities which was unexpected including laundry! Ideal for independent travellers. Room and en-suite clean and spacious. The shower was amazing (not to be underestimated for fellow long haired guests)
