Do not stay there, limited parking which means you park out on street at your own risk, no one on site - not a good idea, noisy next to pub. Did not feel comfortable with the area at all and did not stay, lost our money, but was not comfortable staying there.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay here. The host and other guests were very friendly. We were able to check in early and check out late (quiet time of the year I think) which really helped us out. It felt very safe with locked doors between the street and the hotel common areas. The pool was huge and clean, with deck chairs around. The room itself was quiet, clean and comfortable, with microwave and toaster that worked well. The laundry facilities were added cost (use $1 coins only) but were open all hours which was convenient. Would stay here again :)

We worried about security as carrying a trailer with work equipment; place was secure with locked gate. Nice refreshing pool, very clean unit and comfortable bed! Our room hadn’t been used for a bit as the dishes were a bit dusty but easy enough to clean. Didn’t have any contact with staff (so marked average 3stars as couldn’t comment) apart from online but did meet the lovely owners who were visiting from Victoria (same as us!)

We arrived early and because our room was not ready, we were given another so we could settle in. Jean-Claude was very pleasant and helpful. Self check-in was easy. Breakfast was very good but you do have to go to another motel a couple of blocks away. Not a problem for us but useful to know beforehand.

Territory quality, an excuse for poor quality.

Very mediocre overall. Check-in mid afternoon was unattended with no email to advise code for key box, luckily another resident had access when we arrived. Didn’t see anyone at reception through the stay. Rooms are tired and I’ll-equipped.

A very basic motel in centre of Katherine, with poor signage (couldn’t find entry on first arrival). Room ok & clean, tho bathroom in need of modernisation. Could hear neighbours through (locked) interconnecting door. Not a pleasant looking motel to stay in. Breakfast was included, but now provided offsite at another motel, so didn’t partake of it. Not a comfortable place to stay, felt unsafe, & didn’t linger in the room any longer than we had to.

This would have to be one of the worst accommodation experiences that I have ever had. Trying to access the property is a nightmare, despite the sign at reception saying that it was manned from 7am to 7pm, this became the first of many untruths about the property. At 5pm trying to access the property involved putting in a code to a keypad on a lock box - a couple of issues here, most of the numbers worn off the key pad, torrential tropical storm, getting drenched and the code didn't work. Next issue, accessing the car park, still bucketing down, and having to get out of the car to input a code into another key pad. The room had the worst bathroom I have ever experienced, $175 for a night and would struggle to be 1 star. How about this paid for breakfast with the booking, info in the room stated that the Coffee Club next door was the place to get breakfast, but no, according to the Coffee Club manager they stopped providing breakfast for hotel guests over 12 months ago DON'T STAY AT THIS "RIP-OFF" ESTABLISHMENT.

Disappointed

Couldn’t get into our room with the key. Had to phone a number to get a spare key. Self serve check in very unfriendly. Guy on the phone was helpful when we had to call to get key. Issues getting in and out of gate for car. Small car park not designed for big vehicles. Difficult end to an otherwise good trip.

Breakfast was included in the price but unfortunately had to walk 3 blocks away to another Hotel. Manager was kind enough to let us use the room until later in the day as we had to wait for the bus, and there was nowhere in Katherine to store lugguage.
