We stayed overnight at Thala in June 2008 when friends of ours from interstate were spending 10 nights there. We stayed in a Eucalypt Bungalow which was beautifully appointed. Our friends stayed in a Coral Sea Bungalow but only had sea glimpses not a full on sea view as I would have expected. Nonetheless, they too totally enjoyed staying at... more

We stayed at Thala for four nights as part of our honeymoon travels. The resort manages that rare feat of being environmentally responsible as well as having all the luxury touches that make a holiday special. The rooms nestled in the tree canopy were sympathetic to their surroundings while having all the comforts and amenities you might want. Be warned... more

My daughters wedding was held at Thala beach resort, and we used their wedding organiser to arrange the reception. All aspects of Thala's service was 10 star if you go this high. Staff are excellant and provide first class service. Catering staff provided excellant food and service. Setting is excellant and it was great to be away from the hustle... more

My husband and I (we're in our late fifties), spent 6 fabulous days at Thala and would have liked to stay forever. The setting is spectacular, the beach gorgeous, the rooms comfortable, the food in the restaurant delicious, and the staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating. We opted for a package that included a trip to the... more

We discovered this gem of a resort by complete accident. Here is an outstanding eco setting in surroundings that are world class in terms of accomodation, friendly service, food and ambience. You just do not find this sort of haven often these days in our 'mad rush'world. We will go back. more

We stayed at Thala Beach Lodge for 4 nights, kick starting our honeymoon. I will have to give Thala mixed reviews. I myself am a nature buff and felt right at home living in the rain forest. My new husband on the other hand hates anything creepy crawly and just couldn't relax or unwind! It wasn't his type of resort.... more

The location, staffing and facilities make Thala a special place. We stayed for 7 days in May when the resort was very quiet - often only 2 other tables at dinner. We were on a room only deal. Our Coral Sea lodge - number one - had an amazing view from the terrace of the northern bay and beach. When... more

I feel I need to point out that ordering a cooked breakfast at $26.00 p/p entitles guests to enjoy the buffet at no additional cost.

We had a wonderful time staying at Thala. It is definitely a place to get away from it all to relax. The property is very beautiful with the use of wood and natural stone for the main building. We stayed in a Coral Bungalow with great view of the ocean. The food was excellent both for breakfast and dinner. The... more

We booked a week stay at Thala lodge as part of our 3 week honeymoon in 2006. We had done much research on the place before we booked and were really looking forward to it. After our 27 hour flight we arrived at Thala approx 5am on a very warm morning. The place was totally silent, except for the birds... more

This must be the best hotel in Australia, it cannot be compared with any of the high rise buildings or chalets. The service is excellent and cannot be faulted. The rooms are stunning and realy self contained in the trees amongs the wild life and birds. the dining room well no one else has one like that. You can watch... more
