This Palm Cove Escape is One of Australia’s Most Awarded Hotels
Written by Rebecca Ellwood
A Queensland hotel and spa cements its place as one of the best stays in the country and the Sunshine State.
It’s official: The Reef House Palm Cove offers the finest luxury accommodation in Australia and the best adults retreat in Queensland.
The coveted Australian Tourism Awards, which took place in Darwin on 15 March, saw the Queensland property awarded gold in the Five Star Luxury Accommodation category. In April, it swept the categories in TripAdvisor’s 2024 awards:
- TripAdvisor: No1 Luxury Hotel in Australia 2024
- TripAdvisor: No1 Luxury Hotel in the South Pacific 2024
- TripAdvisor: No1 Hotel All Categories in Australia 2024
- TripAdvisor: No1 Hotel All Categories in the South Pacific 2024
More recently, in November, it was named Queensland’s best Five Star Luxury Accommodation following its gold win in the Queensland Tourism Awards. This marks the third year in a row that The Reef House Palm Cove has collected this coveted award.
On the coastline of Palm Cove – declared the best beach in the world by Condé Nast Traveller – The Reef House Palm Cove offers adults-only luxury between the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef. A high staff-to-guest ratio, an ‘obsession’ with customer service and more than 20 signature experiences, ranging from cocktail classes to pool butler service, are credited as contributors to its success by Director Malcolm Bean.
The Reef House Palm Cove is the sister property of the multi-award-winning Mount Lofty House and Sequoia Lodge, both in the Adelaide Hills.
