8/10 Very good

The property is located on a nature reserve, so it very quiet. There are a couple of walks the stargazers is worth doing it is step access so to stay here you do need to be mobile steps to your rooms and to reception it is in the middle of nowhere so if your happy to have one choice of restaurant it is fine

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved our stay at Thala Beach. Such a relaxing getaway in a wonderful location. Our private bungalow was perfect and we spent most of our stay exploring the properties many walks, lookouts and beach, and thanks again for organising the day tour to Cape Tribulation for us, it was fantastic! Can't wait to come again, and already sending others your way!

Barclay, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is amazing. Bungalow style rooms scattered through the rainforest, connected by very walkable paved paths. The staff was great. The food was good. But it is the property itself that makes this place special.
Joseph Paul, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fantastic customer service! Property is remote and it truly is a lovely get away. Transportation to the nearest town can be arranged by the hotel but times may not be the most convenient. Dining was great, service very good.

Superb rainforest setting. Attentive staff. Good food.
Marian, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing property with friendly and helpful staff. We really enjoyed our stay here and was fantastic for a few days relaxing and exploring the area up to Daintree and Port Douglas. We spent two nights eating in the restaurant and the food was top class. If I had any improvement it would be to heat the pool as it was freezing at this time of the year so we only used it for a quick dip and where the ones I saw use it.

Location is wonderful, just south of Port Douglas. Right in the bush! Right in nature! Great facilities, bungalow up to date and luxurious.
Hollee, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful secluded rainforest property with its own beautiful beach. Good size room; eco friendly but parking was not near the room and restaurant was so/so
elizabeth, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved being away from any built environment, nestled amongst the trees, ocean and cliffs, lots of birds and feeling of being in nature. The restaurant is a stunning location but the food is hit and miss, limited menu, and expensive. Staff are warm and friendly. The resort has a slightly worn fee about it. But if you’re looking for a slightly rustic eco retreat vibe, it’s great.
Alex, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great time also our engagement almost got spilt due to the older lady at the front desk when we checked in. Lucky my parents wasn’t listening to what she said… Overall we loved thala and will be back. Thanks for the great experience!

8/10 Very good

Couldn’t give five starts because no internet in rooms and fairly poor even at the lodge- this is important to almost everyone now, get it fixed!
