I stayed at this sad place in April. New owners have taken over and are in full swing to upgrade services. The staff were helpful and friendly, but the rooms and facilities were tired and not really functioning well.

This is a great base to explore Katherine and the surrounding areas. The motel is close to the Katherine Gorge, or a short walk into town. The rooms are the most reasonable prices I could find in Katherine! My room had all the amenities needed like a tea kettle, toaster, etc! The restaurant was open for dinner and had delicious... More

We stayed at this motel on 13 and 14 July 2012. Both nights were very noisy. Intoxicated people seemed to be the main cause. On the second night a young very drunk person spent a couple of hours sleeping on the bonnet of our car. We got very little sleep (but we did get a few laughs!)
