The Lion's Den Hotel
Situated on the coastal road from Cairns to Cooktown, about four km. south of the coast road and inland road junction.
Re-opened after being devastated by floods in December 2023
You simply can not drive past this one; a stop here is an absolute must to partake of a cold beverage to wash away the dust, and to admire the collection of memorabilia that adorns every surface.
Established in 1875, this landmark hotel is built of timber and iron, famous for its quirky decorations and walls adorned with visitor’s signatures.
Set on the lush banks of the Little Annan River, surrounded by century-old old mango trees and tropical landscapes, the Lions Den is the perfect place to visit an authentic Australian pub.

This is a cracker of a pub!
Camping is back in full swing again and raffles and live music over the weekend plus markets, not to be missed this beauty. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas.
