Quality stay
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.

I had read a bunch of reviews and wasn’t sure what I was expecting but the hotel was fantastic.
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.
Location is great. Room clean. Bed comfy. Pub next door. What more could you ask for.

Staff were very noisy in the morning.
I could hear them banging cupboard doors and talking at 7.30, they actually woke me up.
When I was checking in, our room wasn’t ready and the receptionist said she would call me when it was ready.
Never received a call which was really annoying as when I returned, they said my room was ready

Loved the location for easy access to walkway, bowls & RSL Club. Cooktown was an amazing place to visit with so much history. The Sovereign was a real treat to stay at, the amenities were great, clean and tidy-worth the money to stay.

The two bedroom apartment was very spacious and clean. The pool was well presented and very refreshing. The restaurant looked lovely and if we had stayed longer we would have dined there.
