Phillip's place was a great stay, very clean, comfortable and in a good location. Phillip is very generous sharing his knowledge of great places in and around Cooktown.

Great accommodation, lovely place to stay

Phillip made us extremely welcome and provided a very comfortable space. The bed is amazing and we had all amenities we could have wished for. Highly recommended.

Phillip has just started his Airbnb business. It exceeded our expectations

Most comfortable and pleasant.Everything we wanted was included .

Beautiful apartment that had everything we needed and more. Phillip was lovely and set us up with a few days trips around the area and had all the knowledge of a true local. The room and furnishings were beautiful and the views were lovely. Definitely exceeded our expectations!

Fran and Bob were great hosts, they had supplied everything we needed and the accommodation was excellent, surrounded by trees, very private and so comfortable. We were able to wash our clothes, relax in their flyscreened outside area. We walked into town too. The first part of the walk was beside the road but most of the walk was through the interesting cemetery and the mangroves which had birds and fish and a good track. We loved our stay at Birdhaven.

Fran and Bob made us feel very welcome and we had a very pleasant stay for 2 nights. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and appreciated the fruit in the fruit bowl. It was a quick and easy drive into Cooktown and convenient for food and activities. The accommodation provided us with everything we needed. We would recommend Birdhaven as a lovely place to stay.

Fran was there to welcome and greet us. She gave us all the information we needed and made sure we were comfortable in our unit. Fran and Bob are very warm, friendly and easy going people and we couldn't have asked for better hosts.

Fran was in contact with us prior to arrival to ensure that we would be able to gain access to property if they were not present. As it was Bob was on site when we arrived and showed us the amenities. Made us feel very welcome.

Clean private room in a nice quiet location. The host was very flexible and helpful.

Katrina was very kind and lovely Rooms nice and quiet. . Next time if I go I will stay bit longer Thank you Katrina

Katrina made us very welcome throughout our stay. Our room was spacious and well equipped, with access to our own laundry facilities and kitchen. The breakfast was healthy and delicious, and the pool and gardens relaxing with our own private space to sit outside. Katrina guided us in what to see and do in Cooktown during our brief visit. Our only disappointment was that our schedule did not allow us to stay longer. We would highly recommend both Hillcrest Guest House and Cooktown for a lovely relaxing holiday.

Katrina was very friendly and helpful during our stay. The room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. The shared bathroom was just as clean and the pool breakfast area was comfortable and functional. Breaky was delicious. Great place to stay.

Booking was quick and easy. Gen was really flexible. The 'shed' is like a very lovely house. Lots of extras like mozzie spray ( which we didn't need). The location was easy to find. We took our dogs and there's a great dog pen with an under cover area. Outdoor fire. Lots of fans not too hot. Really relaxing and perfect airbnb. Thank you for having us we will be back

We had a fantastic time at the farm. Wendy has put in so much work to create this little paradise out of town. It was so nice of her to share her knowledge and experience with us. Thank you for offering the farm grown bananas and dragon fruits and also helping us with salt n pepper when we rocked up unprepared. I am sure we will be back there again.

We had a fabulous time at Hilltop Farm - a unique relaxing experience - off the beaten track into another world. Wendy is a fascinating host relaxed and passionate about the land and permaculture. She inspired us (city types) to think of possibilities of lifestyle that we hadn't ever considered. Worth a visit for anyone willing to be open to a new experience

Wendy's place was so relaxing! She was very inviting, but not intrusive at all. There was a lot to see in the garden, and the sunset was amazing. The accommodation was rustic but very comfortable. The camp kitchen was well-equipped. The bathrooms were very well-presented. Wendy explained a lot about the buildings and gardens, which was interesting! Highly recommended.

We had a great 4 nights in Wendy's unique indoor/ outdoor cabin and open kitchen/ lounge. We loved waking up in the morning to the view from bed of hills, sky and lush farm with a rooster, geese, cows, dogs and a horse.

Hill Top Farm is a warm and welcoming accommodation. The location is picturesque, quiet, quaint and ideal for a weekend or week away. Or even longer if you can find the time! Wendy is a very friendly and accommodating host, and was more than happy to share her vast knowledge of ecology, sustainability and farming. We had a very relaxing farm stay weekend.

Wendy was a wonderful host, welcomed us with some of her home grown delicious bananas and was indulgent of my many questions about her permaculture farm. The accomodation was lovely, comfortable, private and picturesque and was easily accessed from Cooktown. We will be back!

The hill top farms are beautiful and peaceful gem! Wendy has created such a special space that made our stay whilst exploring Cooktown and Hopevale.

Had a lovely time at Hill Top Farmstay. Wendy was welcoming and relaxed and after introducing us to what we needed to know, was happy to leave us to it. We rented out the cabin and the tent for the kids. A good outdoor adventure for us all. Kids loved being on the banana farm, wandering around with the animals and sitting around the camp-fire. the farm is a 20 minute drive from Cooktown halfway to Hopevale. Top spot - and excellent prawns and fish thanks to Wendy's tip. Hoorah Wendy.

Great location amidst the rainforest. Gracious host. Thank you Waratah for a wonderful stay and experience. Kids loved it.

Waratah looked after us very well and was a very sharing type of person. We loved what she has done with her place over the years, too, and enjoyed walking through the bush with her.

We loved staying with Waratah. She has created a wonderful sanctuary, and was very keen to show us around and introduce us to the amazing fruit she is growing. The caravan is just as described, a comfortable camping experience. We drove in our rental car (Toyota Camry with very low front bumper) and by driving slowly and carefully had no trouble getting right to the house.

We were made welcome on arrival and we enjoyed the stay, thank you, Waratah for accommodating our large family. The weather was very wet but the van and living space kept us dry helped by a great fire. The outside shower was awesome and used by some and the toilet was " inavative" my kids loved the poultry and being free to roam around. Thanks for sharing your amazing spot and the tropical fruit was yummy

Staying with Waratah at her Magic property " whispering winds" was one of the most special trips I have done in many years. Everything is paradise there. A real retreat for the body mind and spirit. Waratah is a real artist in so many ways.... we were blown away by her stunning cooking and knowledge of local plants and farming. The water hole and lake are so beautiful to swim in. I loved her out door shower. And every night I slept so deeply. Best Airbnb experience ever ❤️️

Experience beautiful, Patricia was very kind and always helpful in making our stay unforgettable. The tent was spacious and comfortable, kitchen space and bathrooms always clean and well equipped. If we were ritornarene definitely we would stay longer! Thank you!

This place is a perfect place to base yourself if you're planning on exploring the Daintree and further north. Amenities are perfect, the hosts are super friendly (they even fixed my flat tyre) and the meals they serve are fantastic. Very accurate and no surprises, would stay again!

We were looking for alternative accommodation between Cape Tribulation/Cooktown with some character that didn't cost the earth. We were very fortunate to find Dawn & Rob's place. Coming from Cooktown we drove Bloomfield in sealed road and arrived easily. Upon arrival Dawn greeted us warmly and took us to our cabin (huge and comfortable) and we immediately felt at home. We still had some time in the afternoon so Dawn gave some direction to the local beach and the estuary to check out the locals. Yep, no swimming in this part of the world guys! The beach is gorgeous and after short drive through some sand track we arrived at the beach where some local Aboriginal families were camping and enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon fishing. It felt like a paradise indeed. There is a licensed restaurant back at Dawn/Rob's place and they cooked some delicious fish (catch of the day) for us. You need to let them know before hand, otherwise there is an IGA Express (small supermarket) about 1km drive from camp if you need to get some food supplies. We stayed 3 nights and that gave us plenty of time to explorethe Bloomfield region. I only wish we had more time to hire a dingy and go fishing (maybe next time). Instead, we drove the Bloomfield Track to Cape Tribulation and back in a day as we wanted to explore Cape Tribulation as well. You will need a 4WD, but nowadays the Bloomfield Track is only 36Kms of dirt/gravel road and it can be done between 1-1:30hrs to Cape Trib (each way). A good alternative if you don't want to spend a fortune in staying at Cape Tribulation(URL HIDDEN)Dawn/Rob's place is pretty isolated, so don't expect internet or mobile reception there. It is a place to truly relax, recharge and explore this beautiful region.

After 16 nights rough camping on Cape York, we decided to spoil ourselves with a real bed! Our last minute decision turned out to be a good one with a stay at John and Debbie's Bloomfield Escape cabins. The cabins are well appointed and it's very quiet even though we were near the road we heard nothing. John met us at the gate of the beautifully manicured grounds and we were made to feel very welcome. Oh, and yes, the real bed was really comfy! Thumbs up to Bloomfield Escape.

Brilliant place to stay. This is a great escape in a beautiful setting. Debbie and John are great hosts: very happy to help but also sensitive and discrete.

Great stop in Bloomfield. Debbie and John were very accommodating. They shared a great swimming hole to us we would have not known about. The cabins are very clean and unique. Highly recommend to others.

Bloomfield Escape was a special experience for me. I was looking for a place to relax and not to think about every days life. And that's what I found! :) The accommodation was like described. The BBQ was used by me every evening. Just a great atmosphere to sit there, listen to nature and read a book. There was a TV but who needs that if you've got a documentary of Australia's nature around of you? :) Already the way from Cairns through the Daintree National Park to Bloomfield was great. The closer I got to Bloomfield the fewer cars crossed my path. I don't remember the exact words of John but it was something like "It's if god forgot about this area" related to all the tourism. You can find beautiful places wherever you go. The close beach of Weary Bay was as if John and Debbie reserved it just for me. Debbie and John are very kind. John was my main contact and he was happy to give me tips about the area, finding a place for a swim or helping me with a flat tyre, not to let me go back to Cairns without a working spare tyre. He seemed to be a very close to nature guy and liked to tell about the area and his life. A very open and interesting character. John, what else can I say? I definitely want to come back! :) All the best wishes for you and your family. Stay healthy and keep it real. Oliver from Germany

Amazing location. Amazing place. Amazing people. John and Debbie absolutely lovely. Also the drive there from Cairns up the coast in a 4wd was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever been on. Told my Dad and everyone at work to go here. Just lovely. John and Debbi great hosts.

I really enjoyed my stay in this 'little slice of paradise' nestled in close proximity to the beautiful Weary Bay Beach, the Bloomfield River & the expansive of tropical rainforest with creeks and waterfalls. The cabin was exactly as described really comfortable and well appointed....ideal to sit back and relax whilst soaking up the sights & sounds of the natural environment. John & Debbie were awesome hosts very generously sharing all their extensive local knowledge. Overall a geat experience I would highly recommend.

John & Debbie's Bloomfield Escape was the perfect base from which to absorb and discover a stunning and remote (tourist-free) part of the world. John & Debbie were welcoming and generous. From the simple but luxurious cabin, to the tranquility, to the wildlife... everything about our stay was super. I cannot think of anywhere else in the world that I would rather return. I will return (with a raised suspension 4x4)!

We had such a lovely time at Bloomfield Escape. John and Debbie were on hand to make the stay fabulous and gave us the downtime we needed to relax. The accommodation is well designed and very comfortable. We hope to visit again sometime.

A great insight into sustainability

What comfort and luxury to have in your beautiful, simple but elegant beachouse in the middle of such a stunning natural environment ! Our family of 5 were very happy and enjoyed our stay immensely sharing lovely meals prepared in your contemporary ,well equipped and well stocked kitchen. Building bonfires on the beach out front and marvelling @ the milky way, swimming @ Bloomfield waterfall, and 4 wheel driving up the beach track to the inlet, as well as boating up the Bloomfield river viewing crocs was just a few of the memories we'll treasure forever. Thankyou Melinda for making our stay so easy.
