• Ralf (9/5): - ⭐ 5/5 — Outstanding Stay at The Dugongs Rest! The Dugongs Rest is genuinely one of the finest motels I’ve stayed at in recent years. The rooms are exceptionally clean, tidy, and modern — you can really feel the care that goes into maintaining the place. A brand-new pool is about to open soon, which will make the stay even better. Yes, the property comes at a certain price point, but it is absolutely worth it for the quality, comfort, and peaceful atmosphere you get. Highly recommended!

• Roger (10/5): Visiting Nurupai (Horn Island ) and Waiben (Thursday Island) was a very interesting experience. - Location on the waterfront very near the Nurupai (Horn Island ) Wharf to get the ferry across to Waiben (Thursday Island) was a pleasant short walk. The system of courtesy buses to and from the airport is a great convenience for travellers. Wongai Hotel nearby and the Pub food menu is more than reasonable. Torres Strait Island people seem very friendly.

• Philip (9/5): I’d stay here again (and will). - A modern property with good amenities. Each unit is an independent building so there is no noise from neighbouring rooms. Located close to a small convenience store and cafe and a short walk to the jetty for the ferry to Thursday Island. The hotel provides transport to and from the airport. There is a self-serve continental style breakfast is available each morning with toast, cereal, muffins, yoghurt and assorted juices and beverages. Probably the best accommodation on Horn Island and I have stayed at both of the other hotels. It is the most expensive accommodation.
