Tracing mum’s steps in the War
We were on trip to Horn and Thursday Islands to see where my wife’s mother served as an Army Nurse in WW2. Thanks to Vanessa at the Horn Is war museum and the friendly accommodation at the Wongai.

Location great. Not happy that we weren't notified that we had to pay for transfers to and from airport until we arrived at the accommodation. Restaurant pricing is over the top and the food is terrible.

The hotel is adequate but I thought very expensive for what it was compared to other remote locations. The room I had was a superior king suite so I was expecting more. The room was very dated and the old air conditioner very noisy. For a self rated 4 star property I would have expected at least a hairdryer as they did have a pool but noway to dry long thick hair. The most annoying thing was the room was very hot and only one fixed key which you needed to turn the a/c on. When I went for a meal and removed the key and came back and the room was stifling hot again. The hotel adjacent had nice pub food.
