Heritage Resort

The accommodation on the outside was dirty. The building smelt of disinfectant Yuk! 3 things were broken in the bathroom! Sealing fan falls off the roof. Toilet seat was peeling and dirty. Towel rail was broken The shower had mild up to my knees The pool was filthy The door to the next room has no seal and we heard all conversation +++ The luggage rack was broken Reception was not welcoming Would not recommend this to anyone.

It’s a nice place to stay

The manager quickly solved a problem with the wifi in my room. I ate at the restaurant the chicken parmi was delicious and topped off with a good sized salad. The resort is undergoing renovations these did not impact on my stay.

nice people

One of the earlier reviews - 'Manage your expectations' - sums it up very well. We found Pauline and her partner very friendly and welcoming, ready for a chat and advice. I encountered an interesting phrase used by the locals during our week-long-stay - there's good, and there's Weipa good. The Heritage is Weipa good: good considering Weipa's isolation, often transient workforce (miners and associated workers going in and out, including early in the morning at the Heritage), and visitors often in 4WDs heading off to even remoter areas. It is not a resort in the Port Douglas sense, a place to go and stay in luxury and venture out of occasionally for a tour. It's a base, a motel. You enter through the Woolworths car park, and about a third of the rooms face the back of the store about 15 m away. Our rooms faced the other way, into a patch of woodland, which was very pleasant (especially as I watch birds), but we were warned to keep all the sliding doors locked and chained. The rooms are a good size, with unusual furniture (perhaps due to its reportedly quirky past), but all a bit tired. If your neighbours are at all noisy, you'll hear them, as well as any early risers. The meals are 'pub grub' - tasty but nothing special, but the young staff are lovely and do their best. So don't expect a resort, but a remote hotel, and you'll be fine.

Stayed here for work for two weeks. Quirky furniture in the rooms but bed was comfy. Restaurant does breakfast but I was up too late to partake. It's also open for dinner Mon-Thurs. You are in Weipa don't be expecting the Ritz but it's clean and comfortable. There's also a pool and laundry. Next door to main shopping area (woolies is closed on Sundays) and across the road from "Eat Street" takeaway vendors.
