Great cabins with plenty of space and a large bathroom. Close to town but far enough away to feel you are in the outback. Short drive to Katherine Gorge.

Reception people were great - bed was comfortable and it was a quick drive to Nitmiluk Gorge - which has been the highlight of our trip.

This place was fantastic. Very large lounge, kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom. I mostly enjoyed the attention to detail in the design - built in bedside lights for all beds, book shelf above the bed head, seperate toilet, shelf for suitcase, verandah with outside furniture and Full size fridge. The linen was great and beds comfy - would definitely stay again. It is a little exy, but you wont be disappointed. Thank you
