Heritage Resort

The property was a little tired. However the bed was very comfortable and room was generally clean. Staff were very helpful and courteous. Room very convenient to shopping centre

The manager quickly solved a problem with the wifi in my room. I ate at the restaurant the chicken parmi was delicious and topped off with a good sized salad. The resort is undergoing renovations these did not impact on my stay.

nice people

Check in after hours was the easiest I’ve experienced. Reception was welcoming. Not much else to say; the stay was very short. Have stayed there in the past and the meals served in the incorporated restaurant were excellent.

One of the earlier reviews - 'Manage your expectations' - sums it up very well. We found Pauline and her partner very friendly and welcoming, ready for a chat and advice. I encountered an interesting phrase used by the locals during our week-long-stay - there's good, and there's Weipa good. The Heritage is Weipa good: good considering Weipa's isolation, often transient workforce (miners and associated workers going in and out, including early in the morning at the Heritage), and visitors often in 4WDs heading off to even remoter areas. It is not a resort in the Port Douglas sense, a place to go and stay in luxury and venture out of occasionally for a tour. It's a base, a motel. You enter through the Woolworths car park, and about a third of the rooms face the back of the store about 15 m away. Our rooms faced the other way, into a patch of woodland, which was very pleasant (especially as I watch birds), but we were warned to keep all the sliding doors locked and chained. The rooms are a good size, with unusual furniture (perhaps due to its reportedly quirky past), but all a bit tired. If your neighbours are at all noisy, you'll hear them, as well as any early risers. The meals are 'pub grub' - tasty but nothing special, but the young staff are lovely and do their best. So don't expect a resort, but a remote hotel, and you'll be fine.

Pretty standard for regional/remote accomodation in northern Australia, and there is a low bar. Understandably Covid is continuing to make it hard for accomodation providers e.g. staff shotages, kitchen closes earlier than advertised etc. But the place is dated, staff weren't very welcoming or acoomodationg - they just seemed grumpy and fed up. Walls are thin so I had to contend with snoring. Weipa is a minimg down and honestly, there is nothing much nice about mining towns. So have low expectations about everything and it will be fine.

Very friendly hosts and relaxing environment.

It was a great stay and the staff bent over backwards to help in any way they could

Stayed here for work for two weeks. Quirky furniture in the rooms but bed was comfy. Restaurant does breakfast but I was up too late to partake. It's also open for dinner Mon-Thurs. You are in Weipa don't be expecting the Ritz but it's clean and comfortable. There's also a pool and laundry. Next door to main shopping area (woolies is closed on Sundays) and across the road from "Eat Street" takeaway vendors.
