Cooktown Motel ★★★

"I stayed 4 nights. It is basically a backpackers converted to motel . There was a communal kitchen and shared bathroom. The rooms were small but had all the things needed. T.v and Wifi although wifi didn't work.....but is seemed to be the case throughout Cooktown. The garden was leafy providing lots of shade with cozy seating books throughout. Rules were simple security pretty good. Its a sweet place if you're mood needing luxurious facilities. Wirth the cheaper rate paid"

Sovereign Resort Hotel ★★★★

Cooktown Holiday Park ★★★

"Accomodation was a cabin. We found the cabin clean and comfortable. The only problem was the stove took a long time to heat and when using both hot plates could not work them separately. Price was reasonable and the park owner was able to give guidance on what attractions were best to see."

Mungumby Lodge - Cooktown ★★★

"A very friendly host couple did their best to give us a good experience at Mungumby Lodge. Located in the middle of nature this was perfect for us. The host even caught some insects for us to see, since we had little luck due to unexpected rainfall. After looking we set them back to live their lifes outside. Expect nature to be close, and a sweet big gecko in the common area in the evening 😀 The 3 km road there was a dirt road, so drive carefully if using a normal car (as we did) A nice place where we would go again if ever in the region."

Kath's Cottage - Your Haven Away From Home ★★★

Paperbark Retreat ★★★

"Paperbark Retreat is the must-stay place to stay in the Cooktown region. It is a tropical oasis well worth the short drive into town. Sue and Tony have done the hard work over many years to build the beautiful and relaxing site it is now and they are your amazing hosts. They want you to relax in their extended home and they go the extra mile in all they do - the beautiful quiet setting, the house/room furnishings and cleanliness (we had the room with the ensuite), Sue’s amazing breakfasts, dinners and banana bread and the oh-so comfy bed. Take up the option of having dinner there – best restaurant in town. We did on our first night. We were asked what we like and we said ‘fish’. This resulted in beautiful barramundi that Tony had caught the previous week plus a yummy fish pie. On our fourth and last night it was BBQ trevally and steamed coral trout, again a recent catch by Tony. Yes we also took photos of us and our hosts as we said a very fond and reluctant farewell. We loved our stay here so much that we are already planning a return stay next year, and we rarely return to the same place for our holidays. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. Fantastic value. Would give it 6 stars if that were an option."
