"The buffet was amazing with all the variety of dishes. The bungalow was spacious and in a great location however we were awoken numerous times at night by some Bush Stone-curlews screaming! I was not familiar with these birds that sound like a woman screaming until I heard them. Outside our bungalow we had a nice view of some wallabies and birds. I can’t wait to return to Hamilton Island however I would plan to stay in the Reef hotel where hopefully it would be a bit quieter from the screaming birds:)"

"The property has amazing views on Catseye beach. Beautiful staff, very helpful and friendly. "

"Great staff and breakfast. "

"Everything you need is onsite and the staff are so helpful and friendly. Loved the food options at the onsite bar/restaurant. "

"You're mainly paying for the view. Good hotel for my first time in Hamilton Island."

"Location is the main feature! The accommodation is basic and tired but you can’t beat the convenience and facilities."

"The house was beutiful with great views definetly a place to go woth seral people that dont want to share room. Also a lot of stairs and hills so not for weak."

"Stunning location. Could not be any better. Breakfast was average at best. Property has an opportunity to be a 5 star place but they seem content as a 4 star."

"Firstly if you just come here for the views then it would be worth it. Reading or relaxing by the pool with the most speciality views of the coast is unlike anywhere else, unspoiled by crowds or boats. As there’s only a maximum of 20 guests plus 4-5 staff the whole resort feels like a private getaway rather than a resort and often we were the only ones in the pool. The food was great for all the meals and we definitely didn’t go hungry. The morning and afternoon yoga is great and there is a hiking trail up to a lookout however we encountered lots spiders and biting insects so be wary (in the rooms and by the pool this wasn’t an issue). Overall this feels like a great way to relax, connect with the surrounding nature and admire the beauty of the area. "
