Very centrally located.
The rooms are very comfortable.
If you’ve flown up, contact the Sovereign and you’ll get free return airport transfers.

The pool is very refreshing however if you’re an older person or have mobility problems you may find it hard to get in and out of as there are no hand rails or easy steps to get in.
There’s a walk in area but the slope is steep with nothing to hold onto.
It’s a very ungainly episode to try and get out of the pool! I suggest that this be looked into as I noticed there were quite a few older people staying there.

There’s a bottle shop and a bar. A huge variety of drinks available and the food is pretty standard pub food. It’s got a really relaxed vibe about it.

It’s right across the road from the RSL and Bowls club. Up the road is the Shipwreck Cafe which has coffee and meals (which are very good).
If you don’t want to buy breakfast at the Sovereign, just walk up the road to the Cooktown Cafe. You’ll be rewarded with good coffee.

Everything is within walking distance. The Sovereign is a really nice place to stay.

We had a good overnight stay, the pool was nice and pool towels provided. We ate at the adjoining restaurant, the meal was lovely! You have to pay and order at the counter which unfortunately wasn't explained when we were shown to our booked table. The rooms did have a strong wood polish smell. A gorgeous sunset view from our room, facing the main street. Mirrors in the bedrooms would be helpful, the only one was in the bathroom, but overall was a good place to stay.

This is a resort out where you wouldn't expect to find one. Beautiful pool and tropical setting. Bar and restaurant are in a building separate of the rooms. Everyone on staff was nice and helpful. They have 2 bedroom apartments. Some for families and others for groups without children. The family units are on the first floor and face the streets and are more utilitarian (easier to clean and less to break or mess up). The ones on the second floor are nicer. Cooktown is small but interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would have stayed much longer if we'd had the chance. As expected, this place does have some unique quirks but it's in the tropics and it's humid, so expect the heat and moisture to take a toll on things. If you let them know there's a problem with your room they'll do their best to adress it. This place is a lot like a small Worldmark or Wyndham property.

Great pool, okay apartment. The check in was a bit average, we didn’t really get a welcome vibe. The pool was lovely though. Very expensive for what the room was, guess because of the location, maybe the time of year. Had a great dinner at the RSL across the road.

Sovereign Resort, Cooktown, FNQ, Australia

Main concern was that window shutters did not close and several slats were missing. Although were able to change rooms it was at a higher level, closer to main street traffic noise and with a shared ibnstead of personal balcony. Pool, garden areas and dining facilities were excellent. Very central position in the town.

Beautiful setting with a landscaped pool.

Room was large. Next time I would ask for a room facing inwards towards the pool just to minimise street noise.

Good restaurant (breakfast and dinner) upstairs at the pub next door.

A great place to visit and a pleasant place to stay.

Check In was easy. Central location was excellent. Outdoor lagoon pool was attractive. Size of room was very good. Breakfast in The Balcony Cafe was excellent. Good food and friendly staff.

CONS.
Only one, the room was relatively dark. Needed lights on in daylight.

NB
The cleanliness review would have been 5 Star/excellent, had it not been for the grubby Hotel Info Folder. When opened there were lots of greasy chip flakes between the pages which was rather off putting.

Our room looked onto the street so it was great to sit on the verandah having a drink overlooking the water.

The pool area was really neat and clean. Great pool.

The pub/hotel attached was great. Food was delicious and the staff super friendly.

Fabulous pool and gardents

The grounds and public areas of this hotel are beautiful and very well maintained. Our 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment was clean and well equipped but unfortunately was on the ground floor with only a small strip of sky visible from the lounge and main bedroom. The second bedroom was a bit like sleeping in a cave. I would recommend requesting a room with a view of the pool (or the street). Disappointing that bathroom amenities were not eco friendly - hopefully that will change in the near future.

Overall we were very impressed with this hotel and the standard of service provided. During our stay we tried both dining options - the bar downstairs and the upstairs restaurant. In both cases we felt the standard of food and service to be very good.
My only negative point was that there was only one disabled parking space and on one occasion I had to park outside on the road as there were no parking spaces available onsite.
I would highly recommend this hotel.

Cindy and Jo at front desk assisted us with several matters with a smile and genuine concern. They were wonderful! Truly refreshing.
Restaurant staff although were pleasant although not overly attentive, missed a request for water and served knife and fork with Muesli, small things but they were not under any stress, just either a lack of training or commitment.
Food was of a high standard. Room staff were very friendly and rooms were presented immaculately. Again, I was charged/and reversed for a packet of Cashews that I did not use. This also indicated a carefree attitude as someone missed them somewhere.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. Sensatioanl tropical design pool!

Hotel is fine. Quite modern rooms and reasonably central to town. Weird shower curtain that just let the bathroom floor get soaked after each shower. What a nuisance for the cleaners! Restaurant onsite is hit and miss. The $29 buffet breakfast was basically inedible at 8.30am. Sausages had dried out to the point of being rock hard. Eggs must have been cooked an hour prior. Nothing was hot, as it was very windy. No a la carte option so you have very limited options for breakfast onsite and there didn’t seem to be much elsewhere although there was a cafe about 200m up the road. Fresh prawns the night prior were ok though and the service is good. Pool is awesome - large enough to do laps in (maybe 30m end-to-end). Because it’s winter the place seemed pretty deserted.

Great pool, very comfortable beds, easy parking close to the unit, pretty surroundings. Disappointed that the restaurant was out of action, but the pub served the best fish & chips we'd had in years. Lovely little town.

The resort rooms are very clean check in staff great you wouldn’t know anyone else was there it’s so quiet only lacking in the cafe bar with food and service ran out of food basically don’t know why and made us put masks on in a hospitality venue but the local lads just walked on in no check in no masks while moving about

We couldn't get internet reception from the free wifi & the Motel phone was a VOIP phone, so we couldn't even call reception. The staff & everything on a whole the Hotel offers is great. I do have a spinal injury so I found the bed & pillows not great, But I am hard to please there, My hubby found the bed comfy, But agreed the pillows were like rocks. Great position in Cooktown close to all you need. Staff were fantastic - Could not give them enough stars. Thanks for our stay :)

Our room was quiet, spacious and attractively decorated. There was ample storage room for our belongings. The kitchenette provided enough equipment for us to prepare a simple breakfast and heat up food in the microwave. On our final night we had a superb meal in the on-site restaurant. The only criticism I have would be the limited access to power points in the living area.
