Guest Reviews

• Helen (10/5): -
• Gareth (9/5): Relaxing stay in Cooktown - Everything. The owner, Lek was lovely and very attentive. The room wasn't as well insulated against noise as would be ideal, but it wasn't an issue.
• Daryl (10/5): - Great location very comfortable and everything you needed was supplied
• Sherri (10/5): Clean, comfortable, lovely views. - Lek was so nice and helpful. The apartment was spotless and well equipped. View was fantastic.
• Kellie (10/5): Highly, highly recommended. Do t stay anywhere else. - Everything! Spectacular views and awesome location. Lek is an amazing host and we will definitely be going back again, hopefully in December. Nothing! It was perfect
• Kellie (10/5): Absolute pleasure to stay here. Simply wonderful x - Lek is the most beautiful host we’ve ever had in any of our travels, anywhere in the world. She met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the apartment (which was absolutely spotless). It is a fully self contained apartment with absolutely everything that you need. The veranda has spectacular views of the bay and is a pleasure to enjoy a drink or 2 whilst watching the sunset! Lek couldn’t do enough for us and we would highly recommend a stay here in either apartment (Frangipani or Orchid). We will definitely be coming back hopefully sooner rather than later and we will also highly recommend this gorgeous place to family and friends. Not a single thing!
• patricia (10/5): Lovely - The beautiful view, the large balcony, & the convenience of being able to walk into town in the evening for dinner & drinks.
• Marty (10/5): -
• Barbara (10/5): Beautiful view handy location to main street. - The hostess is extremely helpful and friendly. Nothing
• Darren (10/5): Excellent accommodation, location and host - I will be back! :-) -
• Joe (10/5): Wonderful - Decor and comfort.
• Gerhard (10/5): - Die Lage und Freundlichkeit der Hausherrin.
• Mason (10/5): The best accommodation I've stayed - The view was spectacular, the host was excellent, Location was very good Nothing
• Kerrie Lee (10/5): Great stay - Lovely, comfortable accommodation. Lek the host is very welcoming and ensures your stay if as good as it can be. The apartment was spacious, clean, comfortable. Everything you need. The overhead fans wwre operating when we arrived so took the edge off the hot day. Then we turned on the air-conditioning which uicjlu made it pleasantly cool.
• Alan (9/5): Comfortable apartment very close to restaurants and points of interest - Nicely decorated and comfortable apartment. Only a block away from the main street and Cooktown Museum. Nice views of the river and mountains. Kitchen was fine except as noted below. There were two a/c; one in the main area, the other in the bedroom. Also fans in each room. Due to the high humidity (November), it took a while to achieve a balanced climate. While there are nearby beaches, there are croc warnings. The refrigerator door opened into the little table. It would be better to open the other direction. Accessing it wasn’t enjoyable.
• Trevor (9/5): Great spot - Modern, very clean, lovely view, Maybe update stuff like thongs, frying pans and add egg flipper and a clothes dryer,
• Paul (10/5): The best host in all of Airbnbooking.com -
• Kerrie (10/5): - Views of sunset and sunrise outstanding. Lek is wonderful so friendly and helpful and the apartment is pristine. Nothing to dislike
• Gall (9/5): - The owner was very nice, lovely lady, the view was fantastic and walk to the pub
• Neill (10/5): - A lovely apartment with a beautiful view and a delightful, helpful host. The best accommodation on our tour of TNQ. Nothing
• Peter (10/5): A very enjoyable stay. Highly recommended. - The location was central being only a short walk to the centre of the town. The host, was amazing. She accommodated our early arrival, made suggestions and even took us, in her car, to a lookout at sunset for us to capture the spectacular sunset. The unit was spotless. The linen was high quality, including the sheets, pillows and towels. The verandah was large and gave a vista to remember over Cooktown and the Endeavour River. No swimming facilities at or near the Unit/apartment but that is understandable. I should have hired a car to get around some of the local/nearby attractions.
• Dean (9/5): Fantastic host in Cooktown - The host is an absolute treasure who will go out of her way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The location is superb being just a short stroll to the museum or pubs and sites of the main street. The view from the room, and the room itself are both excellent. We parked in the upper of the two available spaces which is handy to the room but only found on leaving that the nearby tree in had deposited a heap of sap over our car. It has been hell to remove.
• Suzanne (9/5): Fabulous location and amazing views - The location and amenities were excellent. Our host had thought about and provided everything that was needed for an enjoyable stay. Communication was very responsive and easy. Would recommend and will stay again.
• Alison (8/5): Worth staying here - Owner Lek was helpful. The unit was lovely and clean plus it was modern and had lovely small touches making it a nice place to stay
• Lance (10/5): The whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable. - The views were absolutely amazing. The room was spotlessly clean. The deck area was perfect for watching sunsets. Very central to everything and within walking distance to restaurants, cafes and the Esplanade. The bed was too firm for our liking.
• MINH HAI (10/5): Amazing Place to stay for work or relaxation. Highly recommended. - This is an amazing room. I can sleep very well. Air ventilation is super good. Very fresh air and its facing the sea with amazing view. Lek is very friendly and helpful and my bestest host so far. Highly recommended! Nothing. Everything was so perfect!
• Cheryl (10/5): A lovely convenient apartment with a sea view. - We were met by our friendly host, Lek, who showed us around our apartment and gave us suggestions of places to see and where to eat. The apartment had a wonderfull sea view and a large balcony from which to enjoy it. It was set up for self-catering, but was also really close to restaurants. It was spotlessly clean and spacious, with excellent aircon and facilities. We would love to stay there again. There is nothing negative to say about this property.

Off street parking, We recommend and would stay here again.
• Peter (9/5): Superb - Excellent host Leaving

• Lindsay (8/5): Very good -
• Sayer (10/5): Amazing views and delightful host. Nothing was too much trouble. So clean and well equipped for a short or long stay. Ca - The location and the views were amazing. Everything you needed for your stay. Nothing
• Celia (10/5): beautiful and welcoming stay - location was very convenient! I loved that it was a serene place but only a few meters away from the hub of Cooktown. Sunset from the balcony was always a treat each night. Lek (Pranom) is a most caring and thoughtful host, she made me feel so welcomed and was so hospitable
• Paul (10/5): Good value - Nice Nothing
• Ian (10/5): Perfect place to relax in Cooktown - A great space be in, comfortable, super clean with everything you need for a few days. The view over the river from the property is amazing and the place is so close to everything the town has to offer. Nothing, everything was great
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Duncan (10/5): A great find In Cooktown, a central yet quiet location, in a lovely studio with expansive views. - We arrived in Cooktown late in the afternoon and the owner was pro-active and sent us a message earlier in the day, to let us know they were away and to contact them for any queries. The Frangipani suite was near new and very tastefully appointed, with every need catered for, including a complimentary bottle of bubbles. It was spotlessly clean and we were very comfortable for the four nights we stayed. The location is very quiet, yet centrally located enough to walk to the Main Street in 5 minutes. Lovely view out from the terrace, over the Endeavour river and elevated outlook generally. Off street parking provided. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom modern, with a very generous shower area. There is a full kitchen in this suite as well, with modern appliances. Can honestly say nothing comes to mind. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
• Keay (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carmel (10/5): Relaxing and comfortable - Room was spacious and clean. The owner was very obliging and friendly. Driveway needs work..very steep.
• Sheila (10/5): A surprise to find this modern home in an historical town - we loved it. - What a delight to find this unit (we were getting a little concerned as we drove along the street!) The home is only 2 years old, and staying in the same location as the owner adds value to the visit. New and clean, with everything you need for a short stay, this was ideal for our 2 night stay. The view and the sunset were a real BONUS. It was lovely to meet Pranom. She suggested local attractions for us to visit, and was very keen to ensure that we were happy and had all that we needed. Much appreciated. N/a
• Di (10/5): Excellent and comfortable apartment . - Very clean and neat, host Lek was extremely helpful and pleasant. Very small negative about the other apartment being so close - not a problem unless the neighbours are noisy . Wish they had a pool 😉
• Hilary (10/5): Perfect - The accommodation was perfect and exceeded our expectation. Wonderful, friendly and helpful host. Would not stay anywhere else if I visit Cooktown again. Would definitely recommend Home away from home
• Clive (9/5): Great clean comfortable unit in a good location -
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Great view, well appointed, very clean, friendly owner, highly recommend this accommodation. Nothing
• William (10/5): Brilliant near new apartment with great views and central to everything. - Near new, modern and comfortable Excellent communication from the owner Great central location within walking distance of everything. Spectacular views across the river and beyond. If anything, just the shared deck and proximity to the unit on the same level but not really an issue.
• Donna (8/5): Great apartment with welcoming owner residing in top level apartment. Easy walk to restaurants/bars and attractions - Value for money Very friendly, welcoming and accommodating owner Nothing. But to add to the appeal a TV in the bedroom would have been an added bonus. Apartment is relatively new so this may be in the owners list of things to add.
• Jeremy (9/5): Very clean and tidy and close to everything - Location and closeness to town
• John (8/5): great stay, really quiet and beautiful atmosphere - great view of the river. Also complimentary wine ants in the kitchen. Also twin beds would have suited us better
• Jan (7/5): We loved Cooktown and enjoyed being part of the stay - It was impeccably clean and quiet. The bed so comfortable but it needs softer lighting and better comfortable couch The owner was very hospitable and lovely but it wasn’t as private as we wanted or purchased. The owner was working on the property beside us and was around us quite a bit when we just wanted some downtime
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Grant (9/5): Sundowners on the balcony in Cooktown - Frangipani is well located up small hill one block from main street of Cooktown. Provides excellent sunset views over water & hills. Roomy apartment with all the essentials. Nothing

• Fiona (10/5): The unit is clean & comfy but you’ll want to spend your time on the deck & soak up the view. Our host was lovely - You’ll just want to sit on the beautiful deck & soak up the view of the Endeavour River - it’s simply spectacular Everything was great
• Cheryl (9/5): Superb - The property was in an ideal location with great views, close to the town centre and in a very quiet street. The unit was very clean and tidy The fridge (bar fridge) was a little small to hold 3-4 days food and drinks.
• John (8/5): Very good value, Great views, Good location, Modern unit - The unit is suitable for a couple. There is a double bed, lots of wardrobe space with shelving. The bathroom is spacious, modern, and clean. The shower is hot and good pressure. The kitchen is great, an oven, cooktop, rangehood, half fridge, with crockery and cutlery, pots & pans. There is a smallish TV attached to the wall in the corner of the living area. A table for two with a wonderful view inside and another table for two outside on the verandah. The view at sunset is amazing as the unit faces west. Parking could be difficult for inexperienced driver. The two seater chair in the lounge wasn't really comfortable for indoors and we had to look up to the TV on the wall.
• Wilmot (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely apartment in the heart of Cooktown. Our host Pranom works hard to look after her guests and is charming. The apartment was spotless.The location is a short stroll to the restaurants and town attractions. We highly recommend a stay here. Deb & Steve

The suite was very comfortable and very well presented and conveniently located only a short walk to the main street of town. This suite boasts one of the most spectacular views, and the lovely host Lek is the sweetest lady. We loved our time here and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

• Leanne (9/5): Superb - Loved the location and the view. Lek our host was lovely, the bed is comfy and the choice of restaurants in Cooktown is surprising. Had a fab meal at Jackey Jackey Thai Restaurant and also at the Sovereign Pub. We would also recommend the sunset cruise with Riverbend Tours. When it is possible a new lounge might be a bit more comfy.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was so lovely, friendly, kind and helpful.
• Deborah (6/5): Frangipani room is fine but not guaranteed - Lovely view , modern room and walking distance to town. Lovely lady owner picked me up from the bus . Lovely to get a bottle of bubbles in the fridge Terrible access ( big rocks and steep driveway ) I see she keeps saying concrete driveway is coming but that’s not the case. Uncomfortable cheap 2 seater couch . We were down graded to the other unadvertised Orchid room with no kitchen . Tiny bar fridge not big enough. Very disappointed. Shared balcony with Frangipani room people . Doesn’t say that on adverts
• Ron (6/5): Pleasant - Access is currently very difficult because of failure to complete new driveway.
• Craig (10/5): Very satisfied! - Host was very kind and accommodating.♥️ It's clean and have fantastic view . Highly recommended.👍👍👍 None
• Alasdair (9/5): modern apartment with fantastic views - This is a well equipped modern apartment with fantastic views across the water with amazing sunsets . It is situated in a quiet residential road a short stroll from the centre of Cooktown. Off road parking provided. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We were fine with the steep slope up to the apartment but it could be an issue for guests with mobility problems. It would be nice to have oven proof cookware in order make full use of the oven.
• Jason (10/5): Fab apartment in a great location for a reasonable price - Amazing view, new unit and perfect location The couch wasn’t super comfy so a TV in the bedroom would have been great
• Robert (8/5): A very pleasant experience due to the owner’s advice & kindness. - The owner was a lovely lady, she couldn’t do enough for us. Drive was a little rough but she is having it concreted shortly, & no pool.
• Janiexox (9/5): Superb -
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - New apartment great views super friendly host
• Vicki (9/5): Delightful experience with a wonderful host - Lovely new apartment containing everything we needed. Good location and host was friendly and helpful. Went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The view from the veranda over the Endeavour River was something special. At present the driveway is under construction so required some manoeuvring but worth it for such lovely accommodation and hospitality.
• John (10/5): Large central quality apartment - Large well equipped apartment. Very central. Could easily walk to most points of interest. Excellent hostess. Very helpful. Nothing
• Frank (8/5): Beautiful views but you need to be energetic/ fit to stay due to the steepness of the entrance to the property. - The views were amazing with a great deck to view from. The apartment was well laid out, although basic - the living room couch was quite uncomfortable. The driveway is steep and unsealed. It is not safe for most cars to negotiate their way up but this wasn’t conveyed in the booking material. It is certainly not an accessible place for anyone with a disability or accessibility issues which wasn’t in the booking information material.
• Geoff (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bydder (8/5): Very good - The view The driveway is very steep and uneven so a difficult walk from the car. The couch needs to be more comfortable
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Walk to everything, great airconditioner and fans. Best view in town. Such a great modern apartment
