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!

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

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

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.
