“Amazing wedding at Reef 'n Rainforest”

Cairns Reef 'n Rainforest B&B

5 of 5 stars
Adelaide
May 4, 2008

My wife and I made the decision to elope and were looking for fitting place to get married. After reading all the great reviews on the Reef and Rainforest B & B and seeing the phots on their website, we contacted them about having our wedding and honeymoon there and it didn't disappoint! We stayed at the B & B for 7 nights and hosts Ivan and Lorina were extremely accomodating with all of our requests, recommending a celebrant, recommending a fantastic place for our wedding dinner and they even drove us to dinner! It was a truly wonderful experience and we thank Ivan and Lorina for their wonderful hospitality. The accomodation was everything we'd hoped for, the setting was very scenic backing onto the rainforest. And the home cooked breakfast daily was fantastic! Ivan was very helpful in recommending things to do and was happy to organise our day trip up to Kuranda on the Sky Rail. Would go back there in a heartbeat.

“A Slice of Heaven”

Cairns Reef 'n Rainforest B&B

Apr 22, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We came across the Cairns Reef 'nRainforest B & B while planning our honeymoon. we didn't want to say in a hotel when traveling so far from home.

Both myself & my husband love the bed and breakfast idea. It has all the comforts of home, at a reasonable price. Ivan & Lorina where outstanding host's. The Ulsyes room was just perfect, right out our door was the water fall, and all the sounds , sights & smells of the rainforest. Is was so peacful & relaxing.

Ivan, set us up on 2 tours that where outstanding. My husband & my self will be back, and recomend this Beautiful Bed & Breakfast to anyone traveling to Australia.

“A piece of paradise”

Cairns Reef 'n Rainforest B&B

5 of 5 stars
Edmonton, Alberta

1/1 found this review helpful

We had the most wonderful experience at The Cairns Reef n' Rainforest B&B. To start with, the setting is gorgeous. Every morning, as we ate our delicious breakfast on the terrace, we looked out onto the beautiful waterfall and rainforest. But as stunning as the setting was, it was the service that really made our stay. Ivan and Lorena were so friendly and interesting to talk to, and both went out of their way to make sure that we had everthing we could wish for - from excellent advice on tours and places to eat - to allowing us to use their personal computer when we desperately need to print some documents. The defining moment came when we decided to walk from the B & B to a local mall and got caught in a rain storm. The next thing we knew, Ivan came driving up behind us to pick us up and take us to our destination, so that we didn't get wet. By the time we left, it felt like we were staying with old friends. We are recommending this B&B to everyone we know.

“Serenity in Cairns”

Cairns Reef 'n Rainforest B&B

Apr 10, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We didn't want to leave. Yes, it was that good! Situated in their own private corner of the rainforest just minutes from the city centre of Cairns in Queensland Australia, the Cairns Reef 'n Rainforest B&B is one of a kind...par excellence! If you are looking for serenity in a pristine location, excellent food, extremely well appointed rooms and hosts that go the extra mile, don't miss our favourite Australian B&B. We started our day with a shower in the private stream that passed adjacent to our room and ended our day with a swim in the saltwater pool. Then it was wine with dinner on the patio surrounded by the rainforest. It really doesn't get any better than this. Check it out at [ http://www.bnbcairns.com.au]www.bnbcairns.com.au

“Beautiful Retreat”

Cairns Reef 'n Rainforest B&B

5 of 5 stars
Denver, Colorado
Apr 3, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Fantastic place to relax - read a book by the pool or just sit on the breakfast deck. I felt more like a friend of the family than a visiting guest. Ivan and Lorina are so welcoming and the waterfall is literally in the backyard. Great to fall asleep to the sound of the rushing water. Reef Room does not have a bathtub, but it is more private than the other rooms. Location is a bit far from central Cairns - about $17 taxi ride. So don't plan on walking back to your room for an afternoon nap between lunch and dinner. Or take one of many buses which are very convenient and safe during the day. Free internet is also nice. Highly recommend Reef 'n' Rainforest if you want a quiet retreat. Rainy season was just ending so it was a bit humid in central Cairns, but cooler up in the rainforest under the trees.
