Stayed in exec room which was lovely and newly refurbished. Area surprisingly quiet and secure with a gate closed at night. Owners super friendly and go out of their way to ensure the stay goes well. Will stay again
With its clean rooms, welcoming atmosphere, and proximity to Katherine's attractions, the Katherine Motel is a top choice for visitors seeking value and convenience. Guests rave about the friendly staff, delicious meals at the on-site restaurant, and the peaceful ambiance that makes for a restful stay. Whether you're on a solo adventure or traveling with family, this motel offers everything you need for a memorable stay in the heart of Australia's Northern Territory.
Staffs provided the best service. Room and all interior are new and modern, quality bed and mattress, big TV with all channels. Dust-free bathroom. Easy parking in front of my room wih spacious parking lot. Security gate was closed after sunset and keycard lock made me feel safety and had a good sleep. Highly recommend.
While this is close to town it felt v safe and was quiet in the ‘back rooms’. It was roomy, had v good wifi, coffee, service from very pleasant staff. Clearly this place has gone to big effort to upgrade itself and its appearance.
All kitchen appliances as needed were there and in good condition. We are staying there again in 2 weeks.
Giant bed and huge TV were novelties for me. But I had trouble at first working out the shower tap, then having to step over the bath to use it (older person).
