Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with typical amenities but falls short of delivering a deluxe experience due to a persistent unpleasant odor and signs of wear. The service is a mix of helpfulness in room upgrades and cleanliness issues with high prices. The location is convenient for visiting the national park but is known for security concerns. Dining options vary from impressive to limited.
The hotel is just outside Katherine, in an excellent location en route to Nitmiluk National Park, making it perfect for early park visits and cruises. The rooms could use a modern update but are kept clean. The staff is accommodating, although there were some mix-ups. The dining experience has its flaws, especially with high-priced coffee and tough bacon, but offers a variety of choices. The lush surroundings and well-maintained pools add to the hotel's charm, while some services need improvement in communication and organization.
I stayed at the hotel, which had its advantages and disadvantages. The location was excellent for exploring Katherine Gorge, but the room I was allocated was directly adjoining the pool, leading to constant noise from the slamming pool gate. The price was reasonable, but the room itself took ages to cool down and had worn-out amenities like old, discoloured tiles, and a hard bed.
