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

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

Three girlfriends and I road-tripped to Cooktown for a weekend of sightseeing. Our hosts, Sue and Tony, were absolutely superb and the retreat is stunning! We swam, we drank champagne, we ate Sue’s delicious home made pizzas and banana cake, we enjoy laughs and stories around the fire pit (with Sue and Tony).
