Cape York Peninsula, Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific hotel rooms at the Independent

"Love the breakfast, great variety. Very friendly staff. Many thanks."

"We had a wonderful stay. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! And excellent service from the staff if I needed something. Great location — so close to the esplanade lagoon and marina. I highly recommend this hotel. There are 2 pools in the property and a sauna too!"

"Super friendly staff, big rooms, comfy beds n pillows"

"Room was spotless and staff were friendly. "

"Room was very good"

"We had a lovely stay, rooms very clean, new and modern. Pools are fantastic and given the size of the resort privacy is not an issue if you are looking for a quiet spot on the lagoon/pool. Dining is a little expensive but there are other options in town. Private access to four mile beach. Aircon facilities and fans in rooms are great although we did get a little cold at night with the aircon not able to be switched off unless windows are open. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. "

"As a fnq local I have stayed here before but not for many years . The hotel is looking good now. The bed was comfortable and the room pristine but the aircon could have been colder as it was still warm in the middle of the day. What annoyed me though was there were no bath mats or teaspoons. Even a plastic one instead of a stick would have been good. But still good value for the location in the middle of town. I will stay there again. "

"Beautiful place, close to things to do but why leave"

"Fantastic location along the warf/water front. Super Friendly staff. Neat and tidy hotel. Super Nice rooms, although a bit small. Wonderful views. Overall fantastic hotel. Only negative is food and beverage service stops early at the hotel restaurant but there are tons of other locations close by that offer food. Would definitely stay here again."
