My stay at Cook's Lookout was exceptional. The unit was fully equipped with everything I needed and the pool, right outside my balcony, was absolutely amazing. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, and even at 6pm, the pool temperature was warm and enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the health benefits of the saltwater pool. The tranquility of the place made it easy for me to relax and unwind. Norm and Shelagh, the hosts, were incredibly helpful and even managed to secure a discount for me on the Hole in the Rock tour. Their assistance, along with the convenient pick-up and drop-off service, made my experience even more memorable.

No issues at all.

Helpful hosts, stunning views, tranquil location, clean room, well-equipped, great shower. Will recommend and book again.

Enjoyed our New Year at this motel with breathtaking views of the harbor. The windows in the dining area framed the sunrise perfectly. Manager provided great tips for exploring nearby attractions. Loved the location on top of the hill.

The accommodations were average, with basic furnishings and cheap outdoor furniture. Cleaning was just the basics and toiletries were not replenished.

Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

The view offered stunning scenery and the location was quite convenient. The hotel staff was friendly, accommodating and had extensive knowledge of the area.

During my Christmas stay, the lack of basic amenities such as smoke alarms and a working phone in the room felt very off-putting. The general lack of maintenance made the hotel seem outdated and undesirable. For the price paid, I was disappointed and would not return.
