We had Sunday roast lunch here which was good @ $17. Live entertainment also. Certainly worth a visit here lots of interesting memorabilia. We also took the 40+ klms trip out to Wujal Wujal Falls on Bloomfield track, sealed road, beautiful falls and most interesting trip there.

Don’t take bookings, stated (rudely I might add) first in best dressed. As a semi local (Port Douglas) I found this attitude not worthy of my and 3 other RV owners money. They say they are a campground and yes they are as I’ve been to the hotel on way thru to Cooktown. Decided to have 4 nights away somewhere close but not now or never terrible approach to have.

We didn't stay o'night but $15 per person for powered site. Interesting pub worth a visit as full of memorabilia. Sealed road to Bloomfield Falls but care driving as winding and narrow but very few potholes. Falls track overgrown but worth the walk to see the falls.
