It is a safe location that is quiet at night. Onsite parking, aircon works fine and share facilities are fine. Close to the main strip.

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.

We stayed in Cooktown for two nights at your poorly maintained motel. The room did not look like it had been cleaned, the shower had its own personal fountain and needed maintenance. There were no towels at all. For the price of the basic room with its kitchenette was ridiculous. Definitely not recommend this motel to anyone.

This property has the feel of a hostel but it is clean and has a camp kitchen which is extensively equipped. Initially we had an issue with keys fitting doirs and room not made up. The host imnediately upgraded us, with apology, to a room with an ensuite and fully equipped kitchen. The facility to cook food via the camp kitchen or in room is one we valued as the food choices in town were expensie and not to our taste. The bathrooms were well stocked with soaps, shampoos and body wash normally expected with higher cost hotels. The beds were very comfortable. The staff were amicable and helpful at all times. I would stay again.

It's certainly a budget motel but the caretakers are lovely people. No toilet in the room I had so it was a communal amenities block which wasn't a problem. The pool looked really great but I didn't have a dip in it. The camp kitchen was the winner for me.
