Thala Beach Nature Reserve

Outstanding lodge in a nature reserve with great facilities and friendly helpful staff. The chalet accommodation was spotless, comfortable and very well equipped, and the location in the nature reserve was great. The food in the restaurant was excellent. Only stayed one night, but wish we had stayed at least one more. Having said that, it was not cheap, but good value for what was on offer.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is well located in a nature preserve. It was clean, comfortable, the staff is efficient & courteous.

Amazing friendly staff, private Reserve with individual Bangalows, spectacular views. Perfect reserve to relax & enjoy your space

Beautiful location in the forest. Accommodation was comfortable and clean. No wifi but that was a pleasant change in pace.

The best part of Thala is the staff. It’s a little out of the way, a little hilly and hard to navigate but everything is forgiven by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. Brett took us on a long and comprehensive nature walk doing everything he could to show us the animals and plants and explaining everything. When we had a flat tire Brett and Sam worked until they figured out how to fix it. Neither would accept even a tip. The stay was wonderful

A wonderful stay with welcoming and friendly staff.. could have used a few more staff for the restaurant during the breakfast rush

Beautiful spot. They should consider providing a breakfast buffet as part of their package. A la carte was very expensive and it’s a long drive to go to Port Douglas!

Thala was the perfect break - a quiet, wild oasis. Seamless check in and helpful porters are quick to take you about the resort in gold buggies. Rooms are tucked away and private, ideal for romantic get aways. There is so much to do on the property - highly recommend both the southern loop and the more rugged nature walk. The guided nature tour with Dave was a highlight, so much knowledge about flora and fauna. The property itself is 20-30 years old but very well maintained. Everything is set in dense woodland so there are leaves, sticks, bugs and cane toads - this is part of nature and not a detriment. Using the Optus network I had solid 4G on most of the property including on the walks and in our room. This is a place that’s less about instagram vibe and more about peaceful connection with a rewilded piece of land. Very highly recommended.

The property was beautiful! It was the perfect place to disconnect, yet so close to shops and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

amazing location. super friendly staff.

Seems a bit aging and past its prime, but good environment, beach and views from the public areas. Needs much better internet provision.

Wonderful location - feel like you are part of nature and the food was very good at their restaurant.

Absolutely amazing. Will be back. Like having your own private little national park to stay in

Wonderful location and views and dining.
