We couldn't get internet reception from the free wifi & the Motel phone was a VOIP phone, so we couldn't even call reception. The staff & everything on a whole the Hotel offers is great. I do have a spinal injury so I found the bed & pillows not great, But I am hard to please there, My hubby found the bed comfy, But agreed the pillows were like rocks. Great position in Cooktown close to all you need. Staff were fantastic - Could not give them enough stars. Thanks for our stay :)

Our room was quiet, spacious and attractively decorated. There was ample storage room for our belongings. The kitchenette provided enough equipment for us to prepare a simple breakfast and heat up food in the microwave. On our final night we had a superb meal in the on-site restaurant. The only criticism I have would be the limited access to power points in the living area.

Nice location. Staff and meals were excellent. Room entry is not easy due to narrow door opening and hinge was off the wardrobe. Holes in the curtain and small table needs throwing out.
