Detailed Reviews
Camped here early in March, it was so lovely we came back for Easter, ended up staying four nights. Lovely green prickle-free grass to camp on, so nice and quiet. The Tilmouth Burger is a must, hosts also were happy to provide us with cook your own bbq pack (which was enough for breakfast too) and salads. The birdlife was amazing after the rain, with hundreds of budgies nesting in the park and creek. The hospitality was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Aaron the new manager was absolutely brilliant, customer service with a smile and laugh, the service was amazing, he went 120% above and beyond ensuring we were all happy. Every request was not issue, we want a fire pit we got a fire pit with marshmallows, we wanted mood music he ran and got a speaker and played awesome music. Breakfast was included and he was always the host that as around in the bar, petrol station, restaurant, entertainment , what a brilliant host, he juggled his management role with grace and we were so impressed, we will most definitely be back

We had another delicious meal at Tilmouth Well, cooked by super-chef Carla and served by the always welcoming Melissa. I love this roadhouse, and highly recommend that you stop by for tasty meal, and a cold beer, or whatever you like, to go with it. There is great accommodation, a pool, a shop and good hot food to go. Just an hour from Alice on the Tanami Road.

First visit since 2019. Staff friendly but the toilets were closed for cleaning. Found this odd, for 13 years I have been stopping at this place never come across that before in the middle of the day. They would not be getting much use with the road closed at the unsealed section. This is the first toilet stop 200ks out of Alice the outside toilets are unusable have been for years. Not good enough. Also the chef was on a lunch break- yep the chef takes their break during the lunch period. Funnily enough I made a free call on the public telephone to my friend who is a chef, and she sure had a bit to say about that. When we eventually got something to eat the food was okay. A person at the community we visit said she was told at Tillmouth the cleaning sign was up to stop people using them! With road closed I find that disturbing.

This was a fabulous stopover after three bone shaking days on the Tanami. Towed the camper trailer on to a lovely grassed powered site. We were able to hose off all the dust before opening up. So good. Bloke at reception (manager?) was just great. Friendly, informative, right balance of chatty. Good amenities. Had tea in the roadhouse. Good pub meals, reasonably well priced. Would recommend to anyone, especially those who have just done the whole Tanami,

Biggest beef Parma I’ve seen and tasted wonderful. Campsite was mostly dirt with some grass but what else can you expect given the location. Diesel price was a bit steep but again, given the location, what else would you expect. Very friendly and helpful family running the place.

Upon arrival all was good. Booked into a room had a swim had a few drinks (which are very expensive but to be expected in the location). Then shift changed and the female manger have us nothing but attitude from the get go. I get the feeling that it was a big hassle that the four of us were staying the night. There were no other guests!
We ordered dinner only to be followed back to the pool by the above mentioned female manager who with great attitude asked us if we were staying the night which I believed she could have easily checked in their accommodation book. Keeping in mind we has been booked in for 4hours already. Which further makes me feel that she did not want us there and she was looking for us to get upset with her which we did as we were sick of the attitude. After which she proceeded to tell us that if we would like to come inside she would refund our money and we can leave. They were not interested in the slightest in retaining our business. I would never recommend this place EVER!

The first impression when you go there is that you are really welcomed, there are managers that seem really nice and friendly. The food they r offering is just a big joke. I had my hamburger with a lot and i didnt find a meat paddy, just ridicioulous. If you are a backpacker don't go there cause they hate backpackers and they are not going to treat you nice.
So, if you are going there, just get petrol if you really need it and leave ASAP, don't buy anything cause everything is too expensive ( a thoothpaste is 8$). Dirty and disgusting place sadly

Response from TilmouthWellMgmt, Manager at Tilmouth Well Roadhouse
Responded 13 Dec 2014
Good morning disgruntled travelers. What a shame ex-employees feel the only way to voice their unfounded allegations is to resort to social media and make up a stories and write negative comments. Social media is great for sharing information and we welcome it. However that information needs to be based on the truth. And we know from over 20 plus years of operation that we have a great reputation of cleanliness, fresh food and friendly service. So onward and upward. If you have a REAL comment to make to us, please just give us a call or even better come and see us and we will make you a delicious burger, rated as the best in the NT by Lonely Planet. See you soon..

We have recently stayed at the Tillmouth Roadhouse, whilst not the traditional 5 star some might expect (which is generally not available in the bush anyway), this remote roadhouse has very friendly helpful staff, very clean comfortable accommodation, good food and a number of the essentials for off the beaten track travel all at a reasonable cost. They also have camping facilities if required.

What a great place. The fuel isn't cheap but u need it for the long haul across the Tanami. We stayed in a room. Very basic room with almost zero furnishings. But there is a lounge inside which we should have used. Complimentary breakfast was included. Amenity blocks are good and clean. There is an area the size of an oval outside the rooms which are covered with thick luscious lawn. There is a pool which is well maintained and a comfortable covered BBQ area where we sat and had a beer and some nibbles before heading to the restaurant. There was the usual beef/chicken/fish option but also some specials. I had a spicy pumpkin soup which was awesome and the special of the day T Bone. Wine was fairly priced. The food standard was fitting of any restaurant rather than being Pub Food. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone as a stop over even for a few days whilst crossing the Tanami.
