Weipa
Hotels
If you are after a good old traditional
Australian hotel - Weipa lacks one!
There is one with a public bar in Trunding, and if you compared to a country pub, the rooms
will not disappoint you and there is even an a la carte restaurant.
Weipa
Motels
There are also no real motels like you would be used to from
other parts of Australia.
There
is, however at least one where you can park your vehicle in front of
the door of your room which is really handy on a trip where you live
out of your car (all the details are in the Destination Guide).
Weipa
Resorts
The resort of the town is also not a city resort standard or style, but is clean and friendly and has a swimming pool and a restaurant.
It is Asian style (at least with the current owner), which makes it different from the others in Weipa.
Camping
Ground
But most Cape York travellers look for somewhere to camp.
There is an excellent beachfront camping ground which also has cabins, donga and lodge rooms as well as a swimming pool and an onsite restaurant.

Weipa
Apartments
Want to stay longer?
You gotta be keen! It is an expensive place and
not worth for most people unless you work in the mine.
But there are a few places where you can pay weekly or monthly, detail is in the Destination Guide.
Buy Weipa Real Estate
As
in many mining towns, renting is more common than owning (because of the
large number of workers).
But new areas with privately owned homes do exist. Buying a place is
expensive, you do pay a lot more than you would for the same house in say Cairns (and other places south of the peninsula).
The hotel has a public bar,
... and some cheaper but comfortable donga rooms.
The resort is Asian style with a swimming pool,
