Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was so looking forward to this place because of all the favourable recommendations I found on the internet. I was bitterly disappointed with the rude service provided by the young Irish woman as well as their T-bone steak which was thin, cooked well-done, when...I requested medium-rare. Please don’t believe what you read on the internet, just go to the pub if you want a good meal; or to Masy’s Cafe for breakfast or lunch and a coffeeMore

Travelling around NT we booked and stayed at the Lazy Lizard and what a treat it was. Perhaps the "basic room" was too basic, but hey we were only there for one night. Check out the other options. Such a typical out back stopover not...to be missed. The meals are big and yum.More

We stayed at Lazy Lizard twice during a recent trip through the Northern Territory. The campground has good facilities and we enjoyed the stay. The brewery and railway design theme in the toilets meant looked great while also being functional. We usd the camp kitchen...which didn't have a hotplate/stove but we were able to work around that using their microwave and a BBQ. We also visitded the bar/pub, store and bought fuel - all were fine. The staff were helpful and the site wasn't noisy. Pine Creek is a pretty town (particularly for birdwatchers like us after the Hooded Parrots that live in the area)More

Lazy lizard is a great campground but sadly we were surrounded by people drinking and playing loud music late into the night and there was no one to call or on site to manage the issues. Very disappointed with our stay especially with kids still...awake late into the night. Not a family friendly venueMore

Stayed in the caravan park for two nights, one would have been enough as there is very little to see in Pine Creek. The free museum, miners park and lookout Our site was close to the back of the pub which had the cool room...motors whining day and particularly night. Sights were generous and the facilities were excellent.More

Great location, we stopped for a couple of small take away cappuccinos and a ham, cheese, tomato and mustard sandwich. $20.50! The coffee was delicious but at $6.50 for a tiny carb board cup seemed a bit pricey.

If you leave Darwin in the morning on the Stuart Highway you should arrive at Pine Creek in time for lunch. The menu is a real treat service friendly and it's great to sit in beautiful surroundings and people watch.

I think I’ll call it now, Best Caravan Park I’ve stayed in in my 32 years of holidaying. Not a huge park, but so well designed and put together, angled shaded sites, grocery store, fuel, pool, bar and restaurant, I wish I could have stayed...more than one day. The use of tin, metal and wood along with old rusty wheels and such around was awesome, and the bar is worth a visit on its own. Even for the half keg sinks and cisterns with pull chain in the ablutions. Along with the $9 pints, I had the best barramundi ever - grilled with pesto, salad and the most amazing mashed potato! No words were spoken over dinner, everyone was very satisfied! Customer service all round was exceptional. Could not fault a thing, even fantastic coffee on the way out!More

Delicious food and a great relaxing atmosphere. We stopped on the way to Katherine to have lunch and I plan to do it again on the way out. Best lunch of the trip so far.

Stopped here for lunch on the drive between Jabiru and Katherine. Great place to stop and relax. Plenty of shade, good food and atmosphere. The bats hanging from the trees in the car park were a bit noisy but cute.

We had both morning coffee and lunch here: it is adjacent to and part of the Lazy Lizard Caravan Park providing a bar, restaurant, shop and CP reception. The coffee was excellent, lunch was good and the venue has a nice feel to it. Look...out for the python display cases.More

We were doing the trip back from Katherine to Darwin in the dark, absolutely starving. We'd set off for Edith Falls around lunch time and spent hours trekking and swimming, working up quite the appetite, and assumed more places would be open on the way...back from Katherine. We arrived in Pine Creek and drove slowly around the town. Given its the Wet, most hotels and road houses were closed, and we were kicking ourselves that we probably wouldn't get a feed for another few hours. And then - just as we were ready to turn back onto the highway - we caught the fairy lights of the outdoor area, and we were off like a shot! We got a BBQ pizza and a bowl of wedges, as well as a pint each. Delicious and salty, perfect for after a big exercise. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were very friendly. I loved the music they played too. We were so grateful for the feed and will remember the place fondly from this trip.More

We were on a coach tour to Katherine Gorge and this was our evening meal stop on the way back to Darwin. We pre-ordered our meal during the day and when we arrived, staff were ready to serve us. Meals were delivered to the tables...quickly and the food was hot and delicious. I fancied a chocolate after our meal and although the restaurant did not stock them, the staff member went out to the caravan park shop to get one. Great service and very friendly.More
