We just got married and this was our honeymoon, An absolute magical experience for us newlyweds. We had to try everything on the menu, and we did and it did not disappoint. We do recommend dining with the tides our experience was so amazing we wished it didn't end! We had such a great time with Jack who paired our courses with delicious wines. We could not thank him enough!!! We had the best time on the island and the staff here pay attention to every detail from across the board. From front of house to the kitchen, housekeeping marine and maintenance this is a place you definitely want to relax and unwind. They gave us the best experience, and we will be back for our 1-year anniversary :)

“Perfect Service, Perfect Get Away”

I really liked the Orpheus Island Lodge - it was simple, quiet and complete. Yes, maybe a little rough around the back edges, but the service was incredible.

I really liked the Orpheus Island Lodge - it was simple, quiet and complete. Yes, maybe a little rough around the back edges, but the service was incredible. You just asked anyone for anything and even though there was no "central" area, it just magically got done. Whether it was the persons responsibility or not. Overall, the staff at the Orpheus Lodge, Crissy, Nico, Chloe, Stephen, Elise, and Lachlan everyone was absolutely incredible. Absolutely amazing staff. Kudos to everyone there. Well done. Take a bow. Then there was the food. OMG - yes, fixed menu, but they accommodated every request and every change. The meals were excellent! Compliments to the entire team, all around. Thank you for such a great experience,

“Barefoot luxury in paradise - we LOVED Orpheus Island Lodge”

We just spent five utterly devine nights on Orpheus and were blown away by the location, activities, food, service staff… everything!

We just spent five utterly devine nights on Orpheus and were blown away by the location, activities, food, service staff… everything! The lodge has been around for a while, and you don’t need to look too far to notice its 1980s bones, but current owners the Morris Group have done a beautiful job contemporising and luxxing-up the resort which is located in a beautiful part of the Coral Sea. With only 14 rooms you can expect an exclusive experience with super-personalised service. The inclusions are some of the most generous even at this high price-point with three amazing meals per day, free access to motorised dinghys for a DIY snorkel or beach experience, daily curated activities which can include snorkel tours on other islands, and a full open bar 24/7 (I may have tried to drink my body weight in Champagne!) The resort staff are universally brilliant, every single person seems to enjoy trying to make your stay as awesome as possible. This is world class service. Probably our top highlight amongst many was the food. A personalised four course meal each night with incredible ingredients and technique. The night before our stay we ate at the Morris Group’s premium Japanese restaurant Terasu in Townsville, yet the Japanese meal we ate on Orpheus was better in every way. And fully included in our stay! Thank you to chef Ado and your amazing team. Orpheus Island Lodge has just been added to the prestigious Luxury Lodges of Australia list, and based on our experiences it very much deserves its place amongst Australia’s best resorts. Barefoot luxury at its finest. Thanks to Chrissie and the entire Orpheus team for making our stay so special and memorable. We loved it!

We visit Orpheus Island each year, so obviously we’re fans. My previous reviews talk of what the resort is like, and the things that draw us to keep retuning; so, the focus this time is on our experience regarding the level of care, attention to detail, and diligence of the chefs, who went above and beyond to ensure my wife’s rather difficult medical dietary requirement was not only catered to, but that she had exquisite fine dining meals every morning, noon, and night. My wife emailed the Orpheus team a few weeks prior to our arrival, explaining the details of her recently acquired dietary requirement. Acknowledging the level of professionalism that we know exists in the culinary team, she provided details of what she does at home in terms of special types of food and additives etc, simply as a guideline to assist in their understanding of the actual dietary requirement. When we arrived on the island and met with one of the chefs, we were astounded to hear that not only did they fully understand all the intricacies of the dietary requirement, but they had gone ahead and sourced every special type of food ingredient that my wife had mentioned in her initial email, and that was just so they could be certain that every meal they prepared for her was absolutely perfect, both to her taste as well as her dietary need. We have been impressed and very grateful for the efforts of chefs in several high-class restaurants, who we consider to be very special people, for their assistance with my wife's dietary needs; and without diminishing those efforts in any way, what has been achieved for us by the chefs on Orpheus Island is just on another level. A special thank you to Ado and Sam, the two chefs we met during our stay on Orpheus this year, for everything they have done. Also, none of what we have seen and experienced on Orpheus would be possible without the vision and leadership of the resort's general manager, Chrissie Williams. Thank you to Chrissie and the entire team. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!
