Main Information
The House at Lizard Island is a world-class reef house, perfectly positioned on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef. Embodying all things authentically Australian while offering unparalleled privacy and personalised service, The House offers barefoot adventure, a profound connection to nature, and laidback luxury at its finest.
Built upon pristine headland of the exquisite Lizard Island, The House and its adjoining residence The Cottage are pinnacle of luxury reef accommodation and this renowned five-star resorts’ most exclusive offering. Architecturally designed to soak up the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the island and the surrounding Coral Sea with a restrained and simple design filled with locally-made furnishings and finishes.
Interwoven with exceptional food and wine offerings, experiences totally unique to an inimitable pocket of nature, and on-call servicing by a private chef, sommelier, and expert host, The House at Lizard Island offers complete seclusion and privacy, making it perfect for multi-generational travellers or special occasions that call for a truly memorable getaway.
Great Barrier Reef

Accommodation Options and Facilities
The House comes equipped with three king suites, each with an ensuite, indoor-outdoor shower, outdoor bath, and private balcony to enjoy and soak up the views. Bathrooms are equipped with premium bath products, bath robes and slippers. Interiors reflect the rest of the House, with custom-crafted furniture, stone and timber surfaces, and other natural touches.
The Cottage is a self-contained, single level building within close walking distance to The House. Part of the same complex but completely distinct, the Cottage offers additional seclusion and privacy from the main residence, making it perfect for grandparents, an older child, an au pair, or any other personal guests of the House.
Nestled upon the doorstep of the pristine Great Barrier Reef, The House invites you to experience the region with personalised and intimate activities. Ranging from close-up encounters with the Great Barrier Reef to sunset cruising on the 56-ft Riviera motor yacht ‘Pisces’, your time will be personalised to your tastes by your expert host to create an unforgettable stay.
Dining
Each stay at The House comes fully catered by a private chef with accompanying wine selections by a sommelier, as well as other premium beverages. Local produce features on the menu, celebrating the tropical bounty Lizard Island is found within.
Your private chef is dedicated to showcasing the diverse and exceptional produce of Tropical North Queensland, with an emphasis on the fresh seafood found in the waters surrounding Lizard Island. You’ll enjoy a menu showcasing quintessentially Australian cuisine that caters to your own unique tastes and special requests.
The House sommelier curates the Estate’s vast wine collection to suit your tastes, hand-selecting wines for every single meal and occasion experienced on the island. While always stocked with a well-rounded and ever-changing selection of Champagne, wine and spirits, the sommelier curates an exceptional collection of award-winning wines and boutique varieties, while also coordinating specific wines especially for guests’ tastes.
