It is a very nice small town with lots of places to visit nearby. A four-wheel drive would be a better option to reach some locations, like Elim Beach with its coloured sands. The esplanade is amazing both at sunrise and sunset. Botanical Garden and Grassy Hill are other places to visit.

My advice would be to hire a car in Cairns and drive the 3.5 hours to Cooktown. We walked, but were restricted by the town limits. Within a 75km radius of Cooktown you are able to access 'the bigger picture' of Cooktown.

Wonderful scenic location with excellent historical sites well mapped out. A must to feel the vibes and history in the foundation place of Australia. A great feel about the community who seem to get on fabulously. A must visit of 3 days or longer

The botanic gardens are a must.

The botanic gardens are a must. The separately themed gardens are well chosen. The James Cook museum is very interesting. If you don't want to go on a cruise or go fishing there's not much to do.

Very nice place museum was overpriced for a bit of captain cook info and the damn wind never stops but nice lunch at lawn bowls club in main street was very easy nice and tasty. Plenty of things to see all on main street so easy parking and walking track along waters edge. Waterpark and Music ship for the younger ones or ones that want to be young again.

Highly recommend 1. Terri is very kind. 2. Very clean - better cleaning quality than 5 stars hotel. (I am cleaning company's inspector). I never seen this cleaning quality in any accommodations. 3. Furnitures - I am using same bed and furnitures in my home. They are not accommodations level furnitures. It more expensive and comfortable. Specially this bed's mattress is very thick and heavy. It super comfortable for sleeping. 4. Good river view and location

The location was central being only a short walk to the centre of the town. The host, was amazing. She accommodated our early arrival, made suggestions and even took us, in her car, to a lookout at sunset for us to capture the spectacular sunset. The unit was spotless. The linen was high quality, including the sheets, pillows and towels. The verandah was large and gave a vista to remember over Cooktown and the Endeavour River.

122 on Charlotte aka The Old Bank is a wonderful base to explore the Cooktown region and part of the history of the town. The large bed in our room could have kept us in it all day it was so comfortable and Tania made sure we had everything we needed and more for a relaxed and cruisy New Years break. With so many spots to explore and such delightful and historic accomodation we aim to be back as soon as possible!

The home was beautifully designed and well catered for and we didn’t expect the facilities that were available to us. We will definitely be booking here again next time we’re in Cooktown.
