Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at the Gecko Guest House in Cooktown, I was impressed by the lovely modern accommodation and the warm hospitality of hosts Dianna and Andrew. The property is beautifully presented with great facilities, including a shared kitchen that was well-equipped for preparing meals. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with air conditioning ensuring a pleasant stay even in the hottest weather. The free Wi-Fi in public areas was a convenient addition, allowing me to stay connected during my trip. The absence of luxury amenities like a jacuzzi or VIP check-in/out is not missed, as the serene garden area and outdoor dining space provide a peaceful retreat for guests. The outdoor swimming pool was a refreshing spot to relax, and the sun loungers added a touch of luxury to the experience.In conclusion, if you are looking for a clean, comfortable, and affordable accommodation option in Cooktown, the Gecko Guest House is an excellent choice. The lack of extravagant extras is easily outweighed by the value and charm of this eco-conscious establishment.
