Hotel manager and his wife work very hard to maintain the hotel. Someday I would like to visit Cooktown Motel again.

WONDERFUL

8/10 Very good

Good location but needs TLC
mark, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Friendly checkin, gardens lush, close to town.

A lot of things need to either be updated, fixed and/or thoroughly cleaned.

Good stay for us. Value for money. Very pleasant and helpful manager.
kym, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The best thing about this property is the people. Everyone I met was helpful, and the proprietor went out of her way to meet my needs. The property is undergoing some renovation following floods, but was able to provide a good quality bed, and better extras than I got in city properties.
Helen, 1-night trip

Staff were great. A couple of things needed some maintenance.
Maureen, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Older style motel. Great for short stay. Needs some maintenance but is being slowly renovated. Friendly staff. One problem was attended to immediately.

Geoff, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Over all the property was good. The bed I slept in was hard and you could feel the springs. When I woke I had a sore back and pressure points specially my hips.
Cristien, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property centrally located and clean. Whilst Cooktown is isolated and accommodation might be limited, the facilities were very basic and relativey expensive. For example, there were no chairs in the room. Satisfactory for a one night stay.
Kathy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The unit was small but comfortable. We had booked a unit with a kitchenette but neither of the hotplates worked! Also the motel is near the main road and heavy traffic was loud in the early morning.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic lower cost option. Well managed property

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.
