This place is simply brilliant. Outstanding view, private location plus great kitchen, lounge, balcony and bedrooms. Whilst it's a little on the expensive side, for our long weekend away we were happy we paid the extra.

    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.

    Great. We are at the fish n chips on the wharf. At COOKS LANDING KIOSKS was 10/10 mackerel prawn calamari. Also did the The Bloomfield track on our run was easy with staying a night at cape tribulation campground. After that was the 2 steep incline and declines. 22% and 33%. With one coming down was not cement lije the other. Know your 4WD buttons etc before hitting into it.

    Cooktown has a quaint old era feel with the heritage buildings in the main street leading down to the wharf. Fortunately we were in town on Saturday to experience the local market. Whilst not overly big, the friendly locals made the visit worthwhile. There was a good selection of local produce but a highlight was meeting local celebrity artist, Helen Gordon, who entertained us for some time with the story of her family, In the pictures you can see Helen with a picture that we purchased. A longer trip would have enabled deeper exploration along the Endeavour River and the national park. Good views over the town and of the sunset were obtained from Grassy Hill - a hill that Captain Cook climbed when he was having the Endeavour repaired in the bay below.

    Historic town - very cultural significant history - extremely interesting museum. RSL - good value/drinks/meals Excellent road access to Cooktown (but not in the "wet" season). Sovereign Resort did not accept American Express - only place in town that didn't, and staff in cocktail lounge had no idea what a Champagne Cocktail was !! (& used electric blender - not hand shaken = 007 most unimpressed.

    It's a long drive . . . but it's a once in a lifetime trip . . . There is a lot of history to take in. The Museum is worth a visit . . . but it certainly needs some TLC. RSL provided a great meal :-) Botanic Gardens are small but lovely.

    The most unreal view over the river was to die for, the pictures don't do it justice. Literally sat and just looked out for hours in the afternoon it was so beautiful. Terri was very friendly and welcoming, and this was probably one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. Bed was comfortable, room was spacious and aircon worked well. Location is great, a very short drive into town (literally like 4 mins). Could not recommend this place enough, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on my next trip to Cooktown.

    Friendly, informative, generous hosts who always had time for a chat no matter how busy they were. Well presented units. Quiet location within easy reach of town. Fabulous undercover area with all cooking facilities, etc, large enough to use by a group but with plenty of space to stay private if you want. We'll happily return when next in Cooktown. Thanks for the gluten free slice!

    The best place to stay in Cooktown, it's a little piece of paradise in the rainforest. I could not have wanted for more, other than more time spent there.
