Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Three girlfriends and I road-tripped to Cooktown for a weekend of sightseeing. Our hosts, Sue and Tony, were absolutely superb and the retreat is stunning! We swam, we drank champagne, we ate Sue’s delicious home made pizzas and banana cake, we enjoy laughs and stories around the fire pit (with Sue and Tony).
Negative: We didn’t like leaving to come home.
Summary: We cannot recommend Sue & Tony’s magnificent retreat highly enough!!
