Each unit comes with a patio offering sea views, a cable flat-screen TV, a well-fitted kitchenette and a private bathroom with free toiletries. All units feature private entrance. At the guest house, each unit comes with bed linen and towels.

The location on the hill ensured fabulous views from the covered deck of the Cooktown harbour and river all day long. It was very relaxing sitting in this area watching the sunsets. Only shared with one other double unit.

    Great location with exceptional views. The king room was clean and comfortable with all bathroom products supplied. Everything down to the towels and linen was high quality. The hosts, Terri and Rick were exceptional. Friendly and helpful and just really nice people. The price is cheap for all the extras supplied and you feel so relaxed. Well done.
