“A true gem”

The Sebel Reef House was sensational all the way. Staff were friendly, welcoming, attentive and exceptionally courteous. The restaurant served top class food and our room was clean, expansive and had everything you could want including a relaxing spa on the balcony. We will be coming back and will cetainly recommend this destination for anyone who wants a relaxing, memorable holiday.

“Not sure where to stay in Palm Cove? Choose the Sebel House!”

We researched many hotels in Palm Cove before picking The Sebel House. We LOVED it! The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are very nice. The staff is amazing. We have stayed at many hotels in many places, but this has got to rank as one of the best overall experiences we have ever had. If you are looking at staying at a hotel in Palm Cove, definitely choose this one!

“Perfect Choice for Palm Cove”

Sebel Reef House is located just off the beach in the center of the Palm Cove shops and restaurants. The food at the Palm Cove restaurant was some of the best we had in Palm Cove and the view from the deck is unbeatable. The food is expensive, but in-line with the area. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. We would definitely stay here again.

Traveller's tip
Palm Cove is perfectly situated between Cairns and Port Douglas for trips to the barrier reef, the Daintree rainforest, and Kuranda. The location offers a nice escape from all of the crowds after long days of excursions. Plenty of restaurants to choose from as well.

“Nicest place to stay in Palm Cove”

Our verandah room on the first floor (215) overlooked the pool and felt private and relaxing. It also backed on the the car park which was a bit of a shame early in the morning when the rubbish bins were empty. The reception and waiting staff could not do enough to help us and the food in the public and private restaurant and in room service was exceptional. The honesty bar, free punch and free snacks at happy hour were nice touches but I preferred the Reisling available by the glass from the bar. The two swimming pools were small and (in September) the water was cold) but the areas were nice for relaxing and reading. Just two things I would have liked to make things perfect: slippers in the room to go with the lovely bathrobes and mats on the floor at the bedside.

“a wonderful break”

we were really happy with the level of service given, my only criticism would be in regards to room service menu, which didn't really cater to a light meal, but that is personal taste, so others might find it fine. the rooms were clean and the area is a lovely one to stay in, staff were helpful with tourist activites, ie going to the reef etc.

“would go back again”

Perfectly position alongside the beach front, close to resturants and cafes.Has two large swimming pools in beautifuly surroundings.You serve yourself at the bar with an honor system.The only small problem was that the toilet and shower were in a very small room of the bedroom and the wash basin was in the bedroom.

Traveller's tip
There are lots of eateries,but are quiet pricey.We found that Cockeys Cafe served great beakfasts and lunches for a very reasonable price. They are a two minute walk from the hotel.

“Really excellent hotel”

I have absolutely not complaints or issues associated with this hotel. Service was excellent, room was spacious and clean and food was great(huge breakfast buffet included!). Location is directly across from a protected area of beach (stinger net). Several nice restaurants (in addition to the excellent hotel restaurant) within easy strolling distance as well as a deli and a small grocery store. Palm Cove is about 25 minutes from the Cairns airport so nicely tucked away from the rampant tourism of that city. For departures to the Barrier Reef, you can depart from Cairns or our preference was to complete a slightly longer, more scenic drive to Port Douglas. Daintree, the Skyway and Atherton tablelands are all within easy driving distance. If you prefer, the hotel is happy to arrange for various tours with pick up occuring directly from the hotel. As a side note, there is a lot of history associated with this hotel. Check out the old guest registries which cover many decades. In continuation of that tradition, they also have an honor bar and free spiked punch every evening which we enjoyed! The spa is lovely and the pools are to die for...there is a very relaxing, pleasant poolside cafe where you can spend quiet a bit of time without any effort at all. I would highly recommend the Sebel Reef House Palm Cove to anyone without any hesitation.

Traveller's tip
Try the Synergy out of Port Douglas for your Barrier Reef experience. A sailing catemaran that caters to a maximum of 12 snorkelers. Worth every penny!
