The Reef House Adults Retreat has won Gold for ‘Five Star Luxury Accommodation’ at the 2026 Queensland Tourism Awards, marking its fifth consecutive win in the category.
The Palm Cove property, part of the Australian Bespoke Collective, has now received the award each year from 2022 to 2026.
Malcolm Bean, The Reef House Adults Retreat custodian, said the property had continued to refine its guest experience under General Manager Wayne Harris, with a focus on personalised service and traditional hospitality.
Recent developments include an in-house AI-driven sales hub designed to handle back-end tasks, giving the Escape Planning team more time to work directly with guests on personalised sleep and rejuvenation stays.
The retreat also offers more than 28 complimentary signature inclusions, with botanical art classes recently added alongside its Reef House Mixology experience and nightly brigadier’s punch and canapés.
