I stayed at this motel on 10th March and was disappointed in the motel and its location. The motel is old and requires refurbishment. The showers have curtains all round, the furniture is old and tired and the TV sets are ancient with set top box attachments. Batchelor is located at the Southern end of Litchfield national park and is... More

I have read with interest, your critique resulting from your overnight stay at my hotel on 10th March. You state "The showers have shower curtains all round" When you speak of showers plural, you have assumed that showers plural, have shower curtains.

This motel is older but well-constructed -- the rooms are a decent size, the a/c worked well and there wasn't too much noise from the adjacent units. However, it appears that management is not concerned with upkeep. On the outside, there were many weeds, leaves and palm fronds that looked like they have been there forever. The front of the...

I have read your critique, You have said that management has no concern for upkeep of the property, yet in the next sentence, you state "The air con worked well". That comfort you experienced is entirely due to a great deal of concern by management for property upkeep. Our aircons are reliable. I know they are, because of the regular... More

It is always a pleasure to help visitors enjoy Australias Northern Territory. Two of our chefs entered my office while I was reading your welcome words of praise. I asked them to read your critique and having done so, one chef, with a French accent asked "How much must you pay these people to say such things?" "you pay them"... More

We were in the NT at the end of the dry season. It was 38C and we had camped the previous 4 nights. I was willing to pay anything for an air conditioned room, and that I did. To be fair the 2 br apartment had everything that we needed. It was super clean, tidy, quiet and 99% faultless (however... More

Thank you for comments. You have said some very nice things, and would seem to have enjoyed your stay. That is good, and what it is all about, but a couple of points require clarification. You mention having stayed in a two bedroom apartment. An apartment is a room or suite of rooms designed as a residence and generally located... More

We stayed here for one night in a powered site. The site was quite pleasant, being grassed (a rare luxury in NT, at least during our travels). The sites were also well spaced out, so we didn't feel crowded in whilst we were there. The amenities were a short walk away, and reasonably well kept. During our brief stay, we... More

Thank you for your favourable comments. I am glad you enjoyed your visit. Among other important points you raise, is a solid statement regarding grassed sites. Grass is our highest single operating cost, however I could never imagine the sites without that cool, green appearance. You may be interested to know that the last rainfall we had was mid March,...

I guess when you only have a couple of months worth of tourist traffic in which to trade, you must price things accordingly but the NT is in general, down right expensive and the resort is no exception.
