Hotels near Chillagoe Airport - LLG, Chillagoe

A small community at the edge of civilisation which has a fascinating history of mining. The local cave tours are outstanding. The experience of being at the transition from sealed road to the Burke Development Road aka dust or more bulldust is educational. This is 'the sticks" but even so there is good coffee and meals available. Don't expect luxury

Chillagoe is underrated/ i always recomend the cave tour to visitors especially the Donna cave! Drive out to the smelters and learn all about the history of the town We ate at the cockatoo motel for dinner as the post office Hotel did not provide food due to covid( lack of staff ) Recomend the Laundry for coffee and cake ( check for opening times )

Chillagoe is an old mining township west of Cairns, and is full of history in itself, but the main attraction is its limestone caves and outcrops. The wife and I ventured through three of the main caves available with guided tours, and explored some of the unguided caves as well over the Three days we were there. The days were not real hot 28 - 30 degrees on average (winter) , would not like to be here in summer!! No rain the whole time we visited, and the nights were cool. We loved the experience, will go again to see more.

Chillagoe is a remote western Queensland town and so have to put that in perspective. The area is full of caves, these are many and varied and some of the most interesting caves I have been to (I have been to NT, SA and TAS caves). It is a remote town, the next stop west is about 540 km away with no towns or fuel, so this pace is on the edge of remote. The town is interesting in itself and if you are even somewhat interested in our history and the past, then a visit is thoroughly worth it.

There was nothing to do in the town. Only 1 coffee shop open and could only get coffee. 1 pub open only for an evening meal. The caves were spectacular and Aboriginal art work and information at the information centre was good. It is great for campers and those people who don't want people around. If you like desert places its great but if you dont then I wouldn't go.

Chillagoe is a lovely town, we visited one of the caves in the arvo & a very enjoyable tour Had a lovely evening at the Post Office hotel the owners had only been there for 18 months & had lots of plans to upgrade there rooms for accomodation in the next year & our meal was lovely ☺️
