It was sparkling clean and quiet. We enjoyed exploring the two beautiful beaches. Having breakfast with that spectacular view was wonderful. I would like to see bathroom products that were made in Australia and in refillable dispenses rather than products made in China in throwaway plastic.

Highly recommended. This is a true eco-resort with wonderful aspect, layout and views. You are literally surrounded by natural beauty. The individual bungalows are amazing - we had a Coral Sea Room which had a spectacular view from the balcony. Staff were very friendly and service oriented and the beach picnic was a highlight.

The food is pretty average for a place charging this kind of money. There is no real option as its not close to any options. The menu seems to be aimed at middle America. Kinda bland.

We spent NYE at Thala and it was just that - an outstanding experience! The service at this property is absolutely unparalleled. The Staff obviously enjoy working there, as indicated by the longevity of those that I encountered and this is reflected in the overall vibe of the resort. The highlight for me was having the fabulous resort swimming pool all to myself at 7am on NY morning, while being chauffeured there and back in a resort buggy by a lovely gentleman whose name I neglected to ask. The views from the restaurant are an experience in themselves and the food matched the views. When next in FNQ I will look forward to a return visit. Thank you to ALL of the Staff who went out of their way to make our visit to Thala Wilderness Lodge such a memorable one! Kindest regards, Anne, Lake Macquarie, NSW
