Attractions and Hotels Near Cooktown

Sure, you could spend the whole time just in Cooktown, but you're gonna have FOMO. For some truly epic adventures, you've gotta look around the wider Tropical North Queensland region. Don't even think of going home without visiting a few of the region's incredible beaches and rainforest. Art galleries and craft workshops are popular sights also worth a look around. If the weather is putting on a show (or even if it's not), try out some popular local pastimes like rock climbing and mountain climbing.

Diamonds or diamantés? However you roll, you're certain to enjoy a trip to Cape Tribulation, 95 kilometres away. With Bat House Cape Tribulation and Mount Sorrow to check out, you'll have plenty to keep you busy. If you'd like to spend a night or two in Cape Tribulation, consider the Ferntree Rainforest Lodge and Cape Tribulation Beach House. 100 kilometres to the southeast of Cooktown you'll also find Thornton Beach, which is home to the Heritage Lodge & Spa and Thornton Beach Bungalows. Whether you're just passing through or staying in Thornton Beach, set aside a little time to visit Tropical Sea Kayaks and the Daintree Entomological Museum.

So all you've gotta do now is stick on your out-of-office then blow the joint. After all, you've worked like a trooper for this lastminute.com.au holiday to Cooktown, right?

5 / 5

This is a resort out where you wouldn't expect to find one. Beautiful pool and tropical setting. Bar and restaurant are in a building separate of the rooms. Everyone on staff was nice and helpful. They have 2 bedroom apartments. Some for families and others for groups without children. The family units are on the first floor and face the streets and are more utilitarian (easier to clean and less to break or mess up). The ones on the second floor are nicer. Cooktown is small but interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would have stayed much longer if we'd had the chance. As expected, this place does have some unique quirks but it's in the tropics and it's humid, so expect the heat and moisture to take a toll on things. If you let them know there's a problem with your room they'll do their best to adress it. This place is a lot like a small Worldmark or Wyndham property.

Although there was an issue with the electronic door lock, our host Karen went over and above to get us settled in. The cottage is tastefully decorated, has all mod cons, super comfy bed and is spotlessly clean, very centrally located and easy to find.Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in Cooktown.
