Cooktown
is a beautiful, unspoilt, small historic
coastal town surrounded by stunning countryside. It
is also Australia’s closest town to the Great
Barrier Reef. With its laid- back atmosphere and
friendly people, this is the perfect base to explore
the rugged beauty of the Lower Cape, noted for its
pristine environment and Aboriginal culture.
One of Australia’s most historically significant
townships, Cooktown nestles between Mount Cook and
the Endeavour River. It was here in 1770 that Lt
James Cook, in desperate need of safe haven, beached
the “HM Barque Endeavour”, and named the river after
his ship.
The Sovereign Resort Hotel
is a beautiful AAA 4-star
rated resort situated in the heart of Cooktown,

museum. We have resort style rooms, deluxe rooms and
2 bedroom apartments, all air-conditioned with queen

beautiful free form swimming pool set amidst award

Every day spent here is an opportunity to seek out
the region's secrets. Fish the pristine rivers,
estuaries and the Great Barrier Reef. Explore the
town and region and discover the ancient Aboriginal
culture.
Or maybe just relax and let Cooktown’s ambience and
old world charm be part of a truly unique
experience..
