We called in there a few days ago to have a look and were made very welcome. When we went back there today for lunch we were treated like long lost relatives! All the staff were very cheerful, helpful and attentive. The meal was delicious and very reasonably priced and the location is lovely with views of the marina and... More

One of the best view in Cairns, superb dinning and bar area, but the food and service is poor. We went there to celebrate a major achievement, we where in a relax and happy mindset and left stressed out because of rude servers.

The view speaks for itself. Right on the water and boats coming and going it was a wonderful spot. The food was average but the overall service was great. The kids playground was a little small but the kids still used and enjoyed. The toilets were clean and the atmosphere was relaxed. The kids meals came with a drink and... More

The food was ok, not great. However they do provide a free collection and drop off service which was very handy.

We were recommended to this facility by some of the locals and have to say we were very disappointed. The staff was very unfriendly except our waiter, he was a gem. The food - well, I ordered a steak it was overcooked & dry, not the way I wanted it... we were a party of 5 and I think only... More

My family came from interstate and I wanted to show them the gorgeous views over lunch at Yorkeys boat house particularly with the $10 muscle special. When we arrived we asked to sit at a recently vacated table to which the manager said no. We were ushered to a table in the smoking section and direct sun. My dad then... More

The location is great, the reception staff friendly sadly that is there it ends. Went to the boat club with a group of 15 at midday that had been pre-booked so they should have been prepared. Some of our group got their mains in like 15 minutes and others where still waiting for entree at 1.45pm. I was the last... More

We are regulars to Yorkeys and live down the road. Food is great value for money and they do a 2 for 1 nights during the week. The bus service is a little slow but it is complimentary so who cares?!? We love coming to the knob and will be back all the time!

Reception can never give an honest time for the courtesy bus. Always an hour to an hour and a half wait. Despite being told 15-20 mins when booking. The bus is appreciated but totally unreliable. Food is not great. Used to come years ago and the squid was delicious, tempura with a sweet soy dipping sauce. Now totally processed, heavily... More
