Great location, Japanese restaurant, corner shop, fish and chips, coffee and beach very close. Rooms were spotless, lovely established gardens and off road parking. One night was quite windy which resulted, naturally, in some leaf debris falling into the pool. I simply alerted the staff and it was cleaned up promptly, some guests even helped out! Loved the friendly faces around the retreat. Also, much to my delight...the air conditioning, fridge and freezer worked a treat. The only down side of my stay was that the beach was closed to swimming due to Irukanji jellyfish. Luckily the pool at Reef

Me and my partner decided to book here for a change to our usual hotel as something different. Going away was a bit stressful as it was due to personal matters but being in this hotel for a short half an hour i… was extremely stressed, worried, anxious, on edge and didnt feel very safe either. When we got there we noticed the place didnt look like the pictures, the pool looked really dirty, green full of algae and other stuff sitting on the bottom of the pool and it looked like the pool hadnt been cleaned in a while. Once we got taken to our room we noticed our balcony door didnt shut properly

This was the 4th time we have stayed at the reef retreat and once again Jim, Joanne, Alan and Ingrid looked after us beautifully there is nothing they wouldnt do for us. We had other family staying with usthey had little children, so the pool and close proximity to the beach was great. We had other family who were supposed to be with us from Melbournethey couldnt make it, because of lockdown, but as soon as they can get out of Victoria, we will be back.we love this place. It is the best. Thanks to you all

My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights last week. The room was spotless clean and exactly as described online. The pool was beautiful and very well maintained. Location was great, just a few meters to the beach. Check in/out was smooth and they provided us with private off road parking. Would definitely stay here again.
