9/10 Wonderful! (715 reviews)
We have stayed at Reef House several times and parts of it are starting to look a little tired. The tracks for the sliding doors - to balcony, bathroom and cupboards- need servicing or replacing. Geneeal maintenance is lacking in parts.
Having recently stayed at a newly refurbushed hotel at Noosa this would probably be our preferencecrather than returing to Reef Housre

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
Very good value with the discounted price when we booked.
The apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable. In a small complex with mix of residential and short stay accommodation, it was very quiet. Well set up for being self sufficient during your stay. Gated undercover parking and plenty of street parking.
Short walk to the beach and local cafes, restaurants etc.
Good location for trips to Daintree, Cairns or Kuranda.
