What is King Reef Resort at Kurrimine Beach?

Updated

King Reef Resort is a beachfront accommodation base at Kurrimine Beach in Tropical North Queensland, set directly by the sand and surrounded by palms and coastal scenery. It suits couples, families, groups, campers, caravanners and travellers passing through, with stays ranging from motel rooms and apartments to beachfront cabins, poolside eco tents, a beach house and powered sites. Some options are pet friendly. You can book online or contact the team to plan a stay.

Where it is and what it is named after

The resort sits at Kurrimine Beach on the Cassowary Coast, right on the beachfront. It takes its name from King Reef, which lies just offshore. At the right tides, guests can walk out to the reef and see coral, tropical fish and other marine life — a distinctive experience you won't find at a typical coastal motel.

Accommodation options

The range is broad enough to cover most trip styles:

Stay type Likely fit
Motel rooms Couples or short stopovers
Apartments Longer stays or families wanting space
Beachfront cabins Those wanting the sand at the door
Poolside eco tents Glamping-style stays near the pool
Beach house Groups or larger families
Powered sites Caravanners and campers

Pet-friendly options exist within the range, so confirm which specific stay types allow pets when booking rather than assuming all do.

Eating and drinking on site

The resort has a beachfront bar and bistro serving house-made meals built around local produce and fresh seafood, in a relaxed coastal setting. A beachside cafe covers mornings with locally roasted coffee, breakfast favourites, smoothies, sandwiches, cakes and ice cream. In practice, this means you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner without leaving the property — useful if you're arriving late or travelling with kids.

Things to do around Kurrimine Beach

Beyond the reef walk, the wider region supports day trips: Paronella Park, Babinda Boulders, waterfalls, rainforest walks and the broader Cassowary Coast. The resort works well as a base if you want a mix of beach time and inland exploring, since these attractions are reachable as day outings rather than requiring a change of accommodation.

Deciding whether it fits your trip

Choose King Reef Resort if you want absolute beachfront positioning, on-site dining, and a stay type that matches your setup — cabin or apartment for comfort, powered site for a caravan, eco tent for something lighter. If your priority is a reef walk, check tide timing before you book, since the walk depends on the right tides. If you're bringing a pet, confirm the pet-friendly options directly with the team.
