Sovereign Resort, Cooktown, FNQ, Australia

Main concern was that window shutters did not close and several slats were missing. Although were able to change rooms it was at a higher level, closer to main street traffic noise and with a shared ibnstead of personal balcony. Pool, garden areas and dining facilities were excellent. Very central position in the town.

Quality stay

Beautiful setting with a landscaped pool. Room was large. Next time I would ask for a room facing inwards towards the pool just to minimise street noise. Good restaurant (breakfast and dinner) upstairs at the pub next door. A great place to visit and a pleasant place to stay.
