The room exceeded our expectations. Modern functional design, very new dishware and pants, well thought out setup and had everything one needed as we traveled through. Great shower and water pressure and high quality soaps and shampoos. The only thing I'd ask for is instructions to the induction stove top, that wasn't intuitive to sort out. Very very nice stay.

Great location on the outskirts of town. We stayed in a deluxe 2 bedroom cabin which was spotless, comfortable and very quiet. Washing machine, clothes rack and washing powder were provided which made it easy to do some washing. Also loved the pool which we had to ourselves for a couple of hours.

This is a fantastic park on edge of Katherine, on the way to Nitmiluk. It is far enough out of town to be quiet and safe, but close enough to be convenient. Our cabin was modern, spacious, and exceptionally clean. The park seems to be quite new and will only improve as trees and gardens are established.

The property is safe, calm and quiet. Our cabin was very comfortable and clean, great bed linen. Aircon had been put on before our arrival so the room was clean. New pool and BBQ area is excellent. Gardens with well established trees are clean, cool and green. Kitchen well equipped including a double door fridge. Locked key box easy to access and clear instructions for our arrival after the reception had closed. Overall we had a wonderful stay and rest after the drive from Alice Springs.

Great place. A bit of construction going on but clearly to enhance the overall property. We had a complete self check in and out. Little communication but the room was a nice self contained unit. The grounds and pools were kept immaculate and clean. It was easy to get to and a little ways out of town. Would recommend for a couple of days stay in Katherine.

The cabin iteself was lovely, although filthy due to the works surrounding all of these cabins and pool area. Kettle was unusable, due to severe calcium build up, that couldn't be scrubbed off and makes the water chalky. Kitchen amenities were great. Bedrooms were great. Washing machine use at caution! Ours danced around due to not being balanced correctly. Fantastic aircon. NO WIFI AT THE CABINS and very limited reception (Telstra)!! Very spacious. Will be amazing once works are completed and upgrades to WIFI. Beautiful Sunrise on side walkway!

Loved our stay here

This is a caravan and camping resort which also has self catering cabins. We stayed in an elevated 1 bedroom bungalow with a combined kitchen lounge area, seperate bedroom and spacious bathroom with shower. Kitchen was well equiped with large fridge freezer, cooktop and microwave. The table and chairs on the balcony made a perfect spot for relaxing with a drink and nibbles. Shaded parking was available under the cabin. The place was very clean and quiet situated about 5km from Katherine on the road to the gorge. The only negative was that the internet was a bit slow and intermittent but given the location that was hardly surprising. If we were in this area again we would definitely book in here.

Clean, tidy, quiet, modern: perfect.

The single bungalow on stilts (with parking underneath) we received was modern, well kept, and maintained. Everything was sparkling clean (even in the details). It had all the necessities for a longer stay (kitchen, utensils, cutlery, fridge, stove, microwave).
The A/C was powerful and the fan allowed to move more air in the room. The patio was in perfect condition but we didn't use it because it was simply too hot to sit outside.
The campsite/property was empty due to COVID, but kept in wonderful shape, clean, tidy, and maintained.
Marianne at reception was lovely, friendly, efficient, and helped us with restaurants and bookings for the Nimtiluk Gorge boat tour.
The property is quiet, as long as the guests are. We had a couple next to our bungalow that was a bit noisy, but the A/C+fan covered their noises and by 11 pm they were quiet.

We would definitely come here again.

PS: Free Wi-fi is available but extremely slow (1Mbit/s). Kathrine is remote and this location (Lansdowne) a few kilometers away from downtown is not yet serviced by the NBN, hence the very slow speeds. 3G coverage is instead otherwise very good, and we used it instead. But to be honest, you don't come here to be on the Internet.
