I have stayed at the River of Gold Motel on several occasions while working in the area. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The rooms with kitchens are great for multiple night stays. I now make River of Gold Motel my first choice for accommodation in Cooktown.

We stayed at the River of Gold Motel for 1 night. The room was big and clean but It could need a bit of an upgrade. It is located in a side street and was very quiete in regards to traffic noise. Kylie was very helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much for her. We would stay again.

I'm not sure if I was dealing with the owner, but she was very friendly and welcoming. The motel room was clean and well maintained.

The Managers here were very friendly and helpful organising our fishing trip etc. The room was very clean. However it was a bit noisy as everyone had to walk past our room to get to the carpark. I would stay there again. not too expencive either.

The River of Gold Motel was the perfect choice for us. Nice and quiet yet so handy to everything. The rooms were immaculate. The housekeeping staff were friendly and very thorough.
