Choice and verity of food.

All the service we used was very good. My only complaint is not enough choice of food and verity.

No all was great

The staff were exceptional, happy to help to book a tour & wait staff at the bar & dinner were fantastic. Meals in the restaurant were amazing and varied each night despite same menu & 1 of us is a vegetarian.

Beautiful grounds and incredibly helpful staff

Stayed in January 2024

Cleanliness was below our expectations but still worth a stay.

Thala had beautiful grounds, staff were great to deal with and an amazing pool. Had a great dinner at Osprey Restaurant with an incredible view.

The continental breakfast was appalling. Evening menu at restaurant did not change, signature dishes were not individually flavoured as one would expect. Male waiter came over as misogynistic. Space around the pool is limited.

Fabulous views from our cabin. Walk to beach was lovely, and pool had a natural fresh water rainforest feel to it. Buggy staff were exceptional!

The heat got me - but it is tropical Queensland so it was supposed to be warm. I was surprised how cool the cabins were with the shutters open and the air flowing through the room.

I have been receiving chemo and as a result was feeling so queasy I was unable to eat in the dining room. The lovely chef and other staff members were able to provide some food to our cabin. We were able to enjoy the view from our cabin and make the most of things. Mind you the view from the restaurant was beautiful so go if you can.

Rooms felt abit dated. If I didn’t byo drinks I would have been spewing as the bar was a long way from my room. Quite expensive night accom

Relaxing at oak beach was great, buggy’s to get around were very convenient and efficient. Staff were excellent.

We stayed for our honeymoon and had the nicest ocean view. The staff were so friendly and would help with anything that we needed. The room was really nice with a very comfortable bed. We will definently be staying again in the future.

Amazing location Loved the separate units

Sadly, the fridge didn't really keep our food cold. A kitchenette would have been perfect.

Loved the privacy of the bungalows. It was peaceful and serene.

Given the expense of the room, it would have been nice to not have to pay for soft drinks in the mini bar!

Beautiful cabin, bird life at breakfast, access to beautiful beach

Amazing position, surrounded by rainforest

Lack of seasonal fruit, we were in FNQ but not a pineapple, papaya, banana in sight. We sourced our fruit from the local markets. Portions for dinner were small. Cocktail menu in need of a lift and perhaps a cocktail of the day, or a happy hour to capitalize on that magnificent view. Slightest sign of rain and staff close blinds in the bar area blocking the beautiful view. We ordered Granola for breakfast but Muesli arrived instead with little fresh fruit, contrary to the breakfast menu. Unfortunately we decided to eat out once for dinner and twice for breakfast.

Accommodation was great, pool was deep and very clean. Pre-dinner drinks with a magnificent view over Oak beach with a cocktail in hand was perfect. Surrounding walks and beaches were beautiful and inspiring.

Brilliant innovative food

Although the restaurant was gorgeous and we enjoyed breakfast and a drink there in the afternoon, the lunch and dinner menu didn't include too many appealing options. We would have loved to eat there more often but struggled to find food that wasn't over-embellished, for want of a better term. Everything seemed to include some weird ingredient. For example there was gnocci, but it had black garlic and onions and some kind of apple sauce, and not much else. Why not just a lovely tomato based sauce, which is how gnocci should be prepared? We were lucky we had a car and could go to Port Douglas to eat. We also self catered a couple of times.

This was an incredibly beautiful and soul-soothing place to stay. The decades of work the owner has put into rehabilitating this area is inspiring. The grounds were gorgeous, the cabin was beautiful (and we had one of the less expensive ones), the bed was comfortable and the staff were amazing. The restaurant was just gorgeous with a beautiful view. We saw some wallabies whilst walking around the property and plenty of what my husband now refers to as "reef chickens" building their mounds. I loved that there was a bit of a breeze there. The property is up a little higher than some areas around there.

The thought of what was lurking in the forest

Amazing scenery, beautiful room, awesome staff, incredible location. This is one of the most unique, spectacular places we’ve ever stayed.

Nothing really.

What a lovely find. Loved the location, great views of the ocean, bar and restaurant. We only booked one night, but will be back for a longer stay to explore more next time. Staff really positive and friendly.
