Guest Reviews
- Lyndon (10/5): - The room is very nicely styled and appointed. Staff are wonderful and attentive and the location is quite, peaceful and relaxed. Nothing.
- Shane (10/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): -
- Freshwater (10/5): Wonderful. - It was very well presented. Nothing.
- DENMAN (10/5): -
- Manuel (9/5): It was a greta stay and I will be using Kernow facility in future trips to Charters Towers. - The location was great. The unit was big, clean and comfortable. The daily breakfast left in the unit kitchen was good and adequate. The windows could have better covers for people that would prefer to sleep later in the morning. For early risers this is not a problem.
- Stevie (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): Alternativ overnatning i rolige omgivelser. - Dejligt sted i anderledes omgivelser (et tidligere mental hospital) Roligt med god pool, velkomst drink, dyreliv ved aftenstid. Dejligt værelse med morgenmad på værelset. Netflix på stort TV.
- Graham (10/5): - Kernow is somewhere a little different to stay. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the location is so peaceful
- Ashok (10/5): Fantastic Room At An Amazing Property - Kernow is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at, especially given the price point. The owner, Vanessa, was super friendly - she met us at the gate and took us to the room. The room had everything we might need, had lots of space, and was very comfortable. Lots of nice little touches, like the cereal and yogurt for breakfast and Netflix on the TVs. We enjoyed walking around the grounds at sunset, watching the wallabies and birds.
- Paul (10/5): -
- Moran (10/5): -
- Kerrie (9/5): A very comfortable and quite unique stay. - Kernow is quite a grand arrival with the owner meeting us at the front gate of the property. Vanessa showed us to our room which was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. We even had access to laundry facilities which was really helpful. The property has an intriguing history as a large psychiatric hospital which explains its unique layout. We saw wallabies roaming the grounds at dusk enjoying the peace and quiet.
- Jo (9/5): Highly recommend this place, very glad we found it! - Terrific accomplishment! Small continental breakfast provided, but was not expected! Can’t think of anything!!!

- Jeremy (10/5): Amazing stay, if we ever went back to Charters Towers again we would stay again. Best accom from our whole 2 week holida - Amazing property. Lovely host, secure gated entrance. The inside of the room is spectacular. Beautiful timber dining table, the high ceilings to keep things cool, the comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom with a big rain shower head. Could not fault the property at all. The pool outside our room was lovely and they even have the fridge stocked so you can help yourself to a complimentary drink.

- Gary (8/5): - Was a beautiful place to stay. Definitely staying again.
- Mouse63 (10/5): A beautifully clean and modern place. No regrets staying at Kernow. - Absolutely brilliant! We stayed one night on our trip out to Longreach and found ourselves back in Charters Towers a few days later due to a mechanical issue with our car. Most accomodation was booked out so we contacted Vanessa at Kernow who worked her magic to accommodate us for 5 nights while we waited for our car to be repaired. We stayed in apartment 10 which was more like the size of a small house with beautiful views from the three bay windows overlooking the paddock and distant bush. Immaculate and modern decor in and out! Comfortable beds, lovely hot rain shower, great size kitchen, bathroom and living area and so much room! Vanessa ensured we had everything we needed and topped us up with fresh towels, toiletries, linen and other essentials each day. She even offered us her car so we could get around while our car was off the road! Also, the little things that make a stay so special were not overlooked. Decent amount of washing powder, lovely toiletries, milk, bread, cereal, eggs and a good amount of coffee, tea and sugar were waiting for us. Quality wine glasses, water glasses, crockery, cutlery, knife set and appliances as well and plenty of each. Beautiful pool area with loads of space and seating. Even though we did not plan the extended time in Charters Towers, our stay at Kernow certainly made up for it. A beautifully clean and modern place, tranquil and peaceful. Could not recommend highly enough! Thank you Vanessa! Everything was great.
- Thalia (10/5): -
- Jenny (9/5): Loved staying in the luxurious apartment and the breakfast supplies - The quiet location and interesting architecture
- Rachael (10/5): -
- Mike (10/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): You won’t find any better - Beautifully clean & large rooms from the living area to the bathrooms & bedrooms. Lovely linen, glasses, cutlery, bedding. At Kernow they’ve thought of everything. Friendly & efficient staff without being too intrusive. Such a fantastic place to stay. It has all you need. You won’t find better! That we had to leave
- Jenny (9/5): Would recommend Kernow, we were very comfortable and happy with our stay. - Everything was great, great service all the way through, breakfast provided and facilities large and comfortable. Our host was very helpful. All good.
- Margaret (6/5): - The quietness
- lynken (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Sheryn (6/5): very peaceful, beautiful rooms but no privacy in room! - the rooms were very nice. The first morning we had options with the breakfast of fresh eggs, yoghurt, bread and more options, during the next morning we had been strips of everything and only had eggs available no bread or anything after filling out the breakfast sheet. items of food were out of date-Nutella and cereal options. Didn't like that the staff came and went during your stay and invaded the privacy of your room. we only stayed the two nights and felt like the room could have just been left till we had checked out.
- Trail21737687514 (10/5): The Kernow Charters Towers is a wonderful place to stay. - The Kernow Charters Towers is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed there Saturday night 21 June 2025. Arrived earlier than expected and Les, an Owner, accommodated us. Great place for either short stay or long stay. Rooms are big, the complex is first class. Our third stay here and we will be back. Ken & Lyn
- liljes13 (10/5): Can’t recommend it enough!! - Just an amazing place to stay. The owners are very friendly and passionate about what they are doing; they genuinely care that you have a good time. The apartments were extremely clean, neat & stocked with amenities able to be used free of charge. Food for breakfast was already provided upon arrival & ready to be made for the next morning using room facilities (bread, yoghurt, cereal, juice, milk). The apartment was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Extremely comfortable beds and each room has air conditioning & fans. Extra blankets are already provided if needed in a cupboard. TV’s in every room with Netflix able to be used free of charge. Everything is well-planned and everything you could need is at your disposal. The resort is safe, quiet and calm and offers many things to do for no extra charge (tennis, 24/7 gym with table tennis & pool and ALSO an actual pool with free beverages just outside your room + more to come). The highlight for me was being able to walk through the yet to be renovated old Mossman hall building. It was a beautiful piece of history and so exciting to be able to step into it. Overall, this is the best place to stay in Charters (honestly in Queensland) and well-worth it. Will definitely be returning. Highly highly recommend!!

- LorraineHongKong (10/5): Unique Kernow - As always, the uniqueness of the Kernow experience and the friendliness of the staff leads to a very enjoyable stay. It is a great place to base yourself for a few days to experience everything there is to see in Charters Towers. And there is a lot
- Karen (10/5): - Loved the style of the accommodation. Everything was thought of, was comfortable and clean. Only stayed 1 night.
- G. No (10/5): Great place to stay - The host was amazing. Greeting us at the gate and escorting us to our apartment. The apartment was beautiful and having a pool was great to cool down. Because you are just oit of town the is no noise, no lights but great scenery and views.
- Lindajwil (10/5): Experience the Vision of Kernow - I had no real idea when I booked what to expect. The property is being so well transformed into luxury accommodation with the pieces not yet finished making no difference to your stay. The units were spacious, very well appointed and stocked with a nice breakfast as well as everything else you need on your stay. Staying in so many air bnb’s, I felt bad that they came into our apartment and made our bed! Maybe a card you could put out for those of us who don’t need that and would be happy to collect our breakfast each day from Reception. Thanks for a great accommodation experience!
- Andrea (7/5): -
- Peter (10/5): - Best accommodation in Queensland
- Don (10/5): Fabulous. We will definitely be back and will recommend Kernow to our friends. Thank you! - We stayed in the 2 bed, 2 bathroom house/apartment. There were 4 of us. It was absolute heaven. We were going to go out for dinner but decided it was too beautiful a home to go out and cooked ourselves. The facilities were excellent - amazing dining table, lounge area, bedrooms, beds and bathroom. The location is quiet, just outside Charters towers and the property itself is extensive and full of potential. For the energetic there is tennis, walking and a nice looking pool - we didn’t do any of this as we were so happy with the home we were in and just wanted to stay there! The welcome from the owner was also lovely, clear and helped us feel immediately at home. Thank you! Nothing at all.
