Travellers’ Choice Awards

Best of the Best Hotels

Top - Australia

When you think of a hotel that checks all the boxes (outstanding service, comfy rooms, the works) it’s probably one of these winning spots.

The Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.


The Reef House Boutique Hotel & Spa - Adults Only Relaxation Escapes is a lovely spot for a peaceful break. Its beach access, beautiful setting, and two crystal clear pools make it an inviting place to unwind. You'll find well-appointed rooms and an excellent restaurant to satisfy your cravings. The atmosphere is calming, thanks to the friendly and attentive staff who go the extra mile, offering personalised experiences, complimentary sorbet, and cocktails at designated times. Its prime location makes it easy to explore nearby attractions, like walking tours and fishing, while the spa, fitness classes, and secure parking add to the overall appeal.

    This was our third stay at the Reef House and again it exceeded our expectations. A stay at the Reef House leaves you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and reconnected. We have previously stayed in a Verandah King room (beautiful) but stayed in the Brigadier King overlooking the ocean this time. It was a little smaller but afternoons spent on the hanging double love swing gazing at the ocean sipping champagne were perfect! As always the staff go above and beyond and always provide great recommendations - a visit to Miguel's is a must. I'm sure we will be back.

    The Reef House was just a fantastic experience from start to finish, the customer service from pre to post our stay is second to none. The location is excellent & the complementary cycle hire is an added bonus. Fully recommend particularly if you would like an Adult Only holiday

    The Reef House took every care to make certain or stay was perfect. We only wish we had stayed longer and will likely stay at a sister resort in Adelaide. We particularly enjoyed the educational Aboriginal lecture and cocktail mixing class.

    This is our third stay at The Reef House and again it did not disappoint. From the moment we checked in we stepped into another time and place and with those 28 Signature Inclusions it’s impossible not too. We will be back for another stay in Paradise.
