The manager lady had a glass of wine at the bar the food was over priced and tasteless 75 minute wait for the food only to have the girl cook bring it out in a uniform that hadn't been washed in a month

We got the coach up to Kuranda and had lunch here as we had been here before and the meal was very good. We were not disappointed although we did wait longer than expected for our meal. The barramundi was excellent with nice chips. Staff pleasant and the amenities were clean. Not many places you can get a good meal... More

3 adults to a room and noone felt cramped. Everything needed for a night away.Close to Skyrail and Station.Peaceful and clean. Hotel was not open but we were lucky enough to have a sneak peak and it is so reminiscent of a bygone era. I just loved it and can't wait to go back "in season" to feel the buzz.... More

We did not stay stay overnight in this place but stopped for lunch after we got off the railway. How they could charge $20 for a 'parmajama' (parmigiana) is beyond us. The 'tomato' sauce was from a tin on top of the reconstituted 'chicken' cardboard, topped off with a square piece of barely melted processed cheese slice. The bangers and... More

It was a clean room, beds comfortable, close to downtown but without noise, It is a basic motel so don't go expecting anything 5 star but we enjoyed ourselves. There is a refrig in the... More

Being lovely warm weather we investigated the pool only to find that it hadn't been cleaned in... More

We stayed for 2 nights in July, to have a look at the area and travel on Skyrail. The hotel is in a great location to base yourself to get around the village by foot, being the first hotel when you step off the train. The large wooden verandah was a great place to sit and have a drink. The... More

It was no drama to walk from the hotel to the shops through Kuranda and then back on the oter side of the road, whcih enable one to see all shops. The staff... More

Kuranda is a good halfway spot for exploring the Tablelands with great accommodation & children room, fantastic lunches and friendly service.
