This was a return stay for us and did not disappoint. Stayed in the motel rooms as opposed to our last visit in the apartments. Would definitely stay in the apartments if staying more than 1 night. Breakfast was excellent, staff brilliant and landscaping pleasant.

Nothing. The place is filthy, understaffed and not maintained.

The viewing platform for sunset is Amazing.
I highly recommend the glamping experience.
The location is perfect for day trip to the gorge and hot water springs.

Obvious attraction is the Katherine Gorge; downtown the Godinymayin Yijard Rivers Arts & Culture Centre (GYRACC) - well curated gallery; and proximity to Edith Falls and Umbrawarra Gorge (near Pine Creek)

We did a cruise of Katherine (Nitmiluk) Gorge which involved two gorges with a short walk in between. This was very enjoyable, comfortable with an interesting and informative narration. Scenery is spectacular and not to be missed.

Katherine was a vibrant town but we were only passing through on our way to Darwin .The Glamping tent accomodation which was pet friendly at the Gorge View Bush Retreat and Sunset view of the Gorge appealed to us as a stopover.

We chose the wrong time to visit Katherine during monsoon season. Most tourist sites are closed and very limited to what you can do. It’s a waste of time for us. In addition the accommodation we booked didn’t meet our expectations, so we decided to drive back to Darwin.

Not much appeal for Katherine Town itself however there is plenty of Indigenous arts and cultural experiences around to witness. Main purpose of the stay was for Nitmiluk which was sensational with a wealth of knowledge from the guides on the Indigenous culture and way of life.

We only spent a day at Katherine, as we were on the way to Kakadu. We visit the Katherine hot springs which was lovely for a morning dip as there weren't many people there yet. Would recommend canoeing in Katherine Gorge, stunning views and you might see some crocodiles. Edith falls is also another good place to visit for a hike and swim.
the room size is good and location is right by the hot springs, which is “closed” during the wet season (we visited mid December). much of the Outback sites are closed down in the wet season, even though it’s not unbearably hot. Katherine is a nice small town with most of the amenities you’ll need. the staff was friendly and allowed a late check out since we got in late. the pool was in good condition and cool temperature. wifi worked well, though they cap you at 1 GB/day per device.
Renovated motel rooms, very clean, reasonably quiet, great BBQ and pool facilities, which become the focus of the evenings. Breakfast provided at another hotel a short drive away, great staff and thanks to Chris the Manager for helping out with a couple of minor things. Next to the pub and bottle shop, can't go wrong, it's Katherine! Secure parking, Highly recommended.
The property was very nice. I stayed in one of the bunk rooms. It was small, but perfect for one person. The bathrooms were some of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. There are a ton of mosquitos, so don’t forget bug spray at night. The pool was great. Staff was super nice and helpful to try to help me find a way to the gorge.
The owners Nicole snd Sam.
The receptionists Elizabeth and Mac- were extremely helpful.
Nicole upgraded me to a better room due to a minor hiccup in the initial one and also have me s free night seeing I was stuck in Katherine due to flooded roads.
I wish them all the best on their new venture
Lovely staff, great service from the gentleman who checked us in through to the girls cleaning the rooms. We had a roomy, newly furnished room with top class TV and refrigerator. We also felt very safe being in the gated area even tho right in the middle of Katherine.
Minutes away from Katherine. The pool was fantastic. You could hang out, have a BBQ, use the well stocked kitchen and enjoy a quiet bush land setting. They even had an ice machine. A home away from home. Loved it!
It has a LavAzza coffee maker. Location is good, staff are friendly. Although there’s shortage of egg supplies in Katherine , staff told us they tried their best, to make sure we can have it for breakfast daily.
It is a great hotel in the middle of the national park. The food was probably made by a French cook, so the best we have had in Australia so far. The rooms are big and well equipped. The location is excellent.
Everything was exactly as expected re: facilities and amenity.
The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
I will be recomending that my colleagues use this hotel as their base when in Katherine.
Loved the location.
We enjoyed walking in the bush and along the Katherine river behind the park.
The park is a nice size - please keep it that way
Loved the cabin - just what we needed. Thank you.
Our older son managed to join us half-way through our trip at Katherine and Shady Lane were very prompt and helpful when we queried about accommodating an extra person for our last night there.
Was hoping for a better outdoor sitting area than in the carpark… Liked the location - away from main streets and close to Katherine Gorge… the pizza at the restaurant was delicious😋
rooms have recently been upgraded - so everything is very fresh and clean - parking out the front of room is fabulous - and property is pet friendly - although at higher end
