The best thing about this property is the people. Everyone I met was helpful, and the proprietor went out of her way to meet my needs. The property is undergoing some renovation following floods, but was able to provide a good quality bed, and better extras than I got in city properties.

Over all the property was good. The bed I slept in was hard and you could feel the springs. When I woke I had a sore back and pressure points specially my hips.

Not safe for motorbike travellers. I wouldn’t leave my bike park in that car park. Unless I was close to it the beds. I can feel every spring when I sat on it. I walked out, did not stay found another place.

Location is fine with easy parking. But did anybody clean the room? See hairs and dust on bed sheets and side table. I know it's tropical, but so many ants walking around. It comes in everywhere. WiFi does now work in ensuite room at all. Good for one night just to sleep and leave.

Liked: Cleanliness
The unit was small but comfortable. We had booked a unit with a kitchenette but neither of the hotplates worked! Also the motel is near the main road and heavy traffic was loud in the early morning.

Fantastic lower cost option. Well managed property

I think a lot of previous reviews can be dis-regarded as there is new management there. The new boss ( Col ) is right on top of managing this place. For the properties age it is very clean and tidy. I had one of the ensuite rooms and was very happy - comfy bed / airco / lotsa hot water. Plenty of onsite parking and if you want - full kitchen / cooking facilities available. If you're doing Cooktown on a budget, I 101% recommend this place.
