Tropical Queensland Bliss
Less than 30-minutes from Cairns International Airport sits exclusive Palm Cove, a charming seaside village known for its palm-lined coast and stunning ocean views. The town serves as the perfect base for visitors looking to make the most of what the famous region has to offer – the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation, world-class golf courses and more – yet has managed to retain a sense of luxury that bustling Cairns has left behind. Palm Cove also offers visitors a magnificent white-sand beach and all of the waterfront activities that come with it.
There’s no better spot to experience Palm Cove than the award-winning MGallery Reef House Resort & Spa. Perfectly located on Williams Esplanade, the Reef House, managed by Accor, sits amongst Palm Cove’s superb restaurants and boutiques while also standing
mere metres from the beach.
The MGallery Reef House’s 69 rooms and suites are plotted off of candle-lit, white washed hallways and are surrounded by three pools. The historic hotel is known for the indooroutdoor living that its verandah rooms afford guests, where balconies offer pool views and outdoor entertaining areas complete with bar fridges and microwaves. Verandah rooms also feature romantic, muslinnetted king-size beds, tea and coffee facilities, LCD TVs and well-appointed bathrooms.
The award-winning Reef House Restaurant offers sea views and a seasonal menu of locally sourced produce served under the town’s iconic 300-year-old Melaleuca trees and coconut palms. Chef, Ashe Lewis’ signature dishes include fresh seafood with Asian influences and both a la carte and seasonal degustation menus are available. Breakfast is also served here – a full menu offers eggs, pancakes, hash-browns and quality coffees; while a continental buffet is stocked with fruit, sliced meats, cheese, muffins, croissants and locally baked breads.
In homage to the colonial house’s rich history, the resort’s Brigadier’s Bar is run on an honesty system and welcomes guests daily for the hotel’s famous punch at twilight. An outdoor dining area offers refreshing drinks and replenishing lunches for those spending the day soaking up the sun at one of three freshwater or saltwater pools (plus two jacuzzi’s), and the hotel’s day spa is a seaside escape for those wishing to indulge in rejuvenating face, body and beauty rituals.
