We ended up staying at Travellers Rest out of desperation, because our car has broken down in Tennant Creek. I'll admit that it didn't make a great first impression - my first thought was that it had been a lovely little place some 30 years ago and hadn't changed since. However, it grew on us over the week we stayed... More

We spent there one night and that was definitely enough. Although there was nothing terrible and you might find everything what you need, it was not very nice. Compared with many other hostel we had in Australia/New Zealand it was one of the worst and also overpriced. In our opinion, Tennant Creek generelly was not nice looking, therefore this hostel...

At $53 for the night with my partner, we didn't expect too much. That was a good thing because it really is simple accommodation. The owner was friendly and gave us keys to "the penthouse" which consisted of 2 single beds, a fan and a smelly (but working) fridge. Unfortunately I didn't have much water left and the vending machine... More

I drove in to have a look at this place, and couldnt get out any quicker. Ive stayed in a lot of cheap backpackers and hotels around the world, and it takes a lot for me to actually leave a place when i thought i would be staying there - but this was it. It is basically a junk yard... More

Tony picked us up (and dropped us off) in the middle of the night from the bus. Tennant Creek was a transit location, rather than holiday destination. We were delivered to some very basic and bare, old school lodgings. The rooms were very simple- with fridge- the bedding was old and worn. But it was a bed. The morning light... More

While Tennant Creek is perhaps not the most obvious place to stop for the night, the backpackers, Tourist Rest, more than makes up for it. It's in a quiet (ha!) area of the town but not too far to walk to the supermarket. The dorms are small (a good thing) and the kitchen and living area large. The guy running... More
