The most luxurious accommodation, with amazing views of Whale Beach, beautiful, clean rooms with heated bathroom floors, very helpful staff, courtesy bus to Palm Beach, all makes up for the exhorbitant prices, but hey, once in a lifetime. We went as a large group, 21 women, but I would definately recommend a night there with your partner. The drinks were... More

The food and service at Jonah's really can't be faulted but the decor and atmosphere are really sterile. We visited for dinner in winter when it was dark outside. However they still had all of the tables facing their huge windows. I'm guessing you get a great sunset but it seemed bizarre to have everyone facing the same way into... More

Dear Guest, Thanks for providing Jonah's with feedback. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed our cuisine and the service. I have noticed your feedback regarding the dinner seating arrangement. Jonah's does pride itself on uninterrupted ocean views during daylight hours and spectacular vistas on dusk, dawn and also when the moon is out. Some of the most spectacular... More

I don't usually write negative reviews but I feel Jonah's is trading on a reputation that it no longer deserves and they really need to lift their game. We stayed here the night of our wedding, which was at another venue in Whale Beach. We chose the Executive Ocean Retreat Room, which costs $940 for the night - we were... More

For this very special occasion, we invited our adult children and their partners to join us for lunch on Sunday. As an extra-special all-out splurge we booked Jonah's accommodation for Saturday night with dinner and breakfast to be included for the two of us, booking many months in advance. We were hugely excited. It is hard to differentiate between accommodation... More

We had a delightful time here, it's a beautiful place with magnificent views. The food was delicious and we can't fault the service. We were upgraded to an executive suite and it was spacious with sweeping views of the ocean. Lovely spa bath and heated floors in the bathroom - a hot towel rail would be a nice touch.

My friend and I had a wonderful Friday lunch at Jonah's. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated in a booth with the most amazing views of Whale Beach. After perusing their marvellous menu we ordered the Fruits de mer to share and a delicious bottle of white wine. When our meal arrived it was an extraordinary 3 tier... More

Stayed for a Friday and Saturday nights for a special occasion. The rooms are fine, a little dated but nice and clean and very quiet. Food in the restaurant for dinner was great, a little pricey but very nice and a decent win event again pricey but its what I expected. Had a good stay, would go back again but... More

We were married here last year and we just spent our 1st wedding anniversary here. With some stunning views and access to some great beaches Jonah's is a must stay. The service is faultless, rooms are well appointed, clean and private. It's a little on the pricey side, especially on Friday/Saturday nights with mandatory 3 course meal, but the food... More

Amazing stay at Jonahs, second time round for a family celebration. Service, food, staff and accommodation were faultless, in so far as we have booked 5 rooms for next year. Everyone deserves a slice of heaven on earth!

We stayed at Jonah's for 2 nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary & were really looking forward to a bit of luxury. We were a little disappointed. The views are absolutely beautiful, but the rooms are tiny & looking quite dated. Towels and robes in the rooms were both threadbare although the Molton Brown toiletries provided were lovely. Our bathroom... More
