Reef Gateway Hotel is a pub on Shute Harbour Road in Cannonvale, just west of Airlie Beach, with 24 air-conditioned motel rooms. Each motel room has an ensuite, a TV, a small fridge, tea and coffee making and free Wi-Fi, and sleeps up to four. Deluxe and standard rooms have two queen beds, some with balconies, while budget rooms keep older furnishings. There's also a four-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, where each bedroom can be booked on its own. Guests share a laundry, and there's undercover and open parking.
The bistro covers pub favourites like parmas, steaks, burgers and pizza, and the public bar has a pool table and outdoor terrace. Guests often mention friendly staff and good food.
Surprisingly we enjoyed our meals and not a bite was left on neither plates. Was lovely that the kitchen was willing to work with us to make my main course Garlic prawns with a serving of rice. Hats off to the chef Cheers. Sharlotte your were a hoot of a hostess. Thanks for a lovely meal and atmosphere guys maybe some of you guys at the bar need to smile a little more though?, the girls in the bistro seemed to be doing all of the smiling. Not bad guys keep up the good work 👍🏽
Friendly staff and cold beer!!! The parmys are huge. There are three different sizes of steak on the menu, steak was perfectly cooked. Ordering via The Pass App worked well.
Renee in the hotel reception was amazing! Super accommodating and willing to help with every query. The rooms were great especially for the price. The food was great at the bistro too. Will definitely be returning! Thanks for making our daughters birthday weekend one to remember
