Australia Eco Resort Guestbook

Hear are some recent comments from guests staying at Thala Beach Lodge:

We loved our stay here and even went back because we wanted more time there. We dove the reef every day of our stay and it is convenient and much more beautiful than staying in Port Douglas (it's just outside). Thala is very calm and romantic and quiet and beautiful - just our kind of place, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back again, hopefully many times!

This was our second stay at Thala Beach. Every aspect of the service was first class. The food is excellent, Herbert is a brilliant chef. The guest service personnel, Hamish and Steve could not be more helpful and Ray & Chris were extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu and wine list. The coral sea bungalows provided an exhilariating view and walking again on the beach was unforgettable. It is very clear that everyone who works at Thala enjoys working there, they work so well together and they all have nice things to say about their employers - quite rare these days!
Hope to go back again next year!!!

My wife and I left the kids with Grandma and wanted an indulgent night to ourselves - so off we went ot Thala! It was a wonderful experience and the only thing that we were left wanting was that we could have stayed longer! The work over the years by the owners to create an environmental wonderland is very obvious. The accomodation and facilities are of a very high standard and yet have a low impact environmentally. We loved the walking tracks, the pools, the trees, the seclusion and the views! Most of all though we valued the service from the staff - they were unimposing and yet ever-so quick to meet our every need, with a smile. We would thrououghly recommend Thala to others!

I have just read that Thala was voted top in the 2008 Trip Advisors Readers Choice award* ahead of any other Australian property and having stayed there two weeks ago I can totally understand why they deserve it.

We were so impressed - not just by the place but by the staff who were exceptional in every aspect. We finally figured it out : happy staff = happy guests and vice versa! And what's not to be happy about at this place - it is SO wonderfully Australian : on the Great Barrier Reef/directly overlooking the beach/exceptional local produce and cuisine plus great private and comfy accom.

A very deserving accolade for a great experience, thanks Thala.

* Voted No. 2 in Best Luxury Retreats in the Pacific region, and No. 32 in Best Luxury Retreats in the Worldwide category.

I have never been to a more beautiful or amazing place like Thala. The views, food, rooms and service give Thala their well deserved excellent rating. The friendliness and smiles of the amazing staff made our stay by far the best place to spend any time. Be sure to stay more than one night though to fully experience the many wonderful services Thala has to offer.
If I was to ever get married I would happily return to Thala.

The drive from Cairns airport to Thala Beach Lodge was beautiful enough but the actual setting of the property and the view you are afforded when you first arrive are breathtaking. My wife and I are not sure when we will be able to return to Australia but no matter when Thala Beach will be on our itinerary.
The staff was really helpful in helping us get the most our of the local area. The room was great, food delicious and the staff excellent.
If you go anywhere near northern Queensland on a trip to Australia, Thala Beach Lodge is THE place to stay.
