Staying with Sue and Tony at Paperbark Retreat is like a trip to paradise where you don’t want to leave. The rooms are immaculate, the gardens are pristine, the pool is relaxing, the cooking is incredible and sitting under the stars at the campfire sharing stories makes it a great atmosphere! The hospitality shown is second to none. This was our second stay in just over 12 months and each time we’ve stayed longer than planned. Sue and Tony have built an incredible retreat and it’s an honour to be able to share it with them.

This an elegant Retreat, managed by Tony and Sue. Rooms are nice and clean. Toilet is not in the room, but next door of the room. The garden is very pretty and tropical with a nice pool located with in. Breakfast is excellent with a barrister coffee.

So glad we booked here. Nice and quiet secluded area yet still close to town, excellent service and hospitality by the owners. Food was delicious as well. Would recommend to anyone visiting Cooktown and would definitely book with them again!

This is a Five Star Retreat from the moment you turn the bend in the drive, it is absolutely stunning. The lush tropical gardens are immaculate and full of wildlife, birds, butterflies and flowers. The place is spotlessly clean and the breakfasts were yummy. Do book an evening meal Sue is a wonderful cook, and it is great fun listening to Tony’s stories (he’s a natural comedian). On a personal note thank you for Rays turmeric coffees and his walking stick.

Everything about Paperbark Retreat is pristine - the gardens, the pool area, the broad-verandah homestead and the stylish finishings throughout. But what sets this retreat apart is the hospitality. If there's something you need, your friendly hosts, Sue and Tony, will provide it (coffees and homemade muffins around the pool in our case) ! It's a perfect setting for a tranquil getaway and Sue and Tony's local knowledge is invaluable. This touch of FNQ paradise is highly recommended. Arrive as guests and leave as friends.
