We needed a weekend away so chose Thala Beach Lodge as we had visited previously. Located one hour's drive from Cairns and close to Port Douglas, the location is perfect for peace & quiet. some cabins have a view of the beach and others look out onto the treetops. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms (cabins) are tastefully... More

We stayed at Thala for 5 days in early February. We were given a complementary fruit drink on arrival and were upgraded to an ocean view cabin. We had a wonderful time. The cabins are spread out throughout the property and you're actually in a rain forest. The cabins were very nicely decorated and had a deck facing the ocean.... More

My husband and myself spent a week in Thala Beach Lodge in December and we cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone who would like to spend time in complete peace and tranquility. As we were on honeymoon in Australia it was the perfect place to begin our holiday. The lodge and accommodation is amazing and the scenery is only... More

Thala Beach Lodge is so stunning, the location, the views, the rooms, pool area & food were great. I recommend the lodge to all my guests at work as my partner and I had such... More

So...after reading the hundreds of amazing reviews of previous vistors, I guess I went with extra high expectations. We were booked in an Eucalypt Bungalow for 3 nights and I was pleased that on check-in we were upgraded to a Coral bungalow - good start. We were in room 3 for the first night which had some sea views. The... More

We optimize our local status by visiting Thala’s restaurant regularly. It truly is a spectacular experience: set amidst the tall rainforest trees with its abundance of bird life you could easily imagine dining on a treetop canopy. With breathtaking views over the Coral Sea and a great ambience, this is a truly amazing restaurant. The menu is somewhat limited, but... More

Overall a lovely experience and we certainly intend to go back. I loved the surroundings and watching the birds bathe in the birdbath cleverly concealed in one of the lodge's gum trees close to the deck. The mosquitoes were a nuisance and I didn't notice the restaurant using its mosquito coils. We found the restaurant disappointing as we had heard... More

From arrival to departure it's Paradise at Thala Beach Lodge. Staff at reception were so attentive that we were able to relax in our room immediately. The room had everything we needed and was really luxurious. We ate all meals in the restaurant where the choice was extensive and the chef should be complimented on the standard of cuisine. The...

On a recommendation from our travel agent, we spent four wonderful nights at Thala. We had excellent service from all of the hotel staff and enjoyed the meals. We were torn on whether to rent a car or not, but the shuttle to Pt. Douglas was sufficient for our off-site needs. Plus all of the excursions (Kuranda Skyrail & Barron... More
