Here, where the rainforest meets the sea. Where white sands beckon and the palm trees sway in the tropical breeze, you'll find plenty to enjoy, refresh and invigorate yourself. The tropical gardens of The Reef House feature three swimming pools, shaded by lush ferns and palms, rambling bougainvillea and a unique suspended canopy. Swim beneath the cascading waterfall, relax in the spa, or simply sip on a poolside cocktail under the spectacular canopy. And, if you're energetically inclined, you can enjoy a jog along the white-sand beach, swim, snorkel or scuba-dive in the Coral Sea, or test your skills on either of two world-class golf courses just five minutes away. And of course, there are the natural wonders of the world to explore.. The Daintree rainforest and Great Barrier Reef!
