About
Offering luxurious accommodations with free Wi-Fi at the lodge, free meals and a private patio boasting stunning Coral Sea views, Orpheus Island Lodge is surrounded by serene, white sand beaches and 1,368 hectares of National Park. Guests can take a dip in an infinity pool or relax with a unique, indigenous-inspired treatment at the Gwandalan Day Spa. The resort has a bar and restaurant with an alfresco-style dining area. Accommodations rates include all gourmet meals prepared by the head chef, using local produce and fresh seafood. Located just 50 mi north of Townsville, Orpheus Island offers a secluded paradise escape set on the waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

The surrounding World Heritage-listed Marine Park features snorkeling and diving with over a thousand species of tropical reef fish. Each of the refurbished beachfront rooms offer bright and modern décor, a 32-inch LED flat-screen TV and an iPod docking station. Crisp white bed linens and Li’tya guest amenities are provided. Your inclusions feature activities such as a daily Orpheus experience, which includes snorkeling, fishing, and island cruises.

Pros +
- It was an absolutely fantastic from start to end. The service is incredible, and so personal, thanks to there being so few guests on the island. We did many special activities but even just relaxing is the best. The food is so so good.
- Great rooms. Good food. Friendly staff
- Amazing visit, nothing is too much trouble. Staff were excellent and the food was absolutely wonderful.
Cons -
- Expensive but worth it. No bad word to be said.
- Location is quite close to mainland and harder to access GBR and snorkeling
- Late dining didn't suit but the kitchen will accommodate your needs.

Nice relaxing getaway
There could have been a few more selections of wine and the dinner and lunch menu be an a la carte menu not already selected menu
