Top hotels in The Caves
Capricorn Caves - Caravan Park
Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable; they made it work. There were marked face cloths, dirt in corners and lounges had bits all over them…. Apart from that and the crumbs on the counter tops, the staff really made it more appealing and was really interesting.

Bayview Tower
Our unit didn’t have any where to hang our clothes or any where to hang our towels. A sofa would have been better than the single bed. We were not aware breakfast was part of the deal. We enjoyed the time we were there and would recommend to anyone.
