Katherine River Lodge Motel

Lots of mistakes. No milk in room. Was told I had to have black coffee. But then there wasn't even coffee in room only tea and sugar. Food was very expensive. And after meal I went to room to find someone else had been in room and deposited their luggage and belongings in my room. That's very bad. So I had to move to another room. Shower head kept falling onto my head, it wouldn't stay up and not much pressure cause half the flow was coming out of the bottom tap. All in all not a pleasant stay and I stay in motels 4 nights a week.

Satisfactory option in Katherine. I can't give a really insightful review because I did not pay for the room so I don't know how good value it was. The rooms were small (three of us shared two bedrooms with a shared bathroom). But if the prices are reasonable for the small rooms and one party gets the double bed and the other group get a single bed and bunk beds, it's a good option. It was clean and well presented. No complaints.It was a business trip (actually ministry, but business is the closest to the option).

I recently stayed at this motel during the school holidays with my family from Darwin. I was looking for budget accommodation and for the price I paid I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and well presented, yes it was older, but I wasn’t expecting the Taj Mahal. There’s also a good bistro there that does kids meals.

Great value budget accommodation. Aged facilities but very tidy, happy with what is offered for the price paid.

Good value for money. The place is clean and has the basic stuff that we need: toiletries, coffee & tea. The queen bed is comfortable, and the room comes equipped with a microwave, a mini fridge, an electric jug, a table and two chairs, and a wardrobe. (Air-conditioning is a given). The place also has a pool. The host, Angel, is friendly and accommodating.

It was amazing to see the room had not been used by anyone before my tenancy... this was obvious by the layars of dust on the toilet. But I lie... the tennant was a spider that had a web catching copious amounts of bugs in the corner, but don't forget the cockroaches that crawl over you throughout the night. But at least the shower wasn't inhabited, the brown sludge when you turned it on the bottom of the shower must have enough bacteria to fight them all off. 1 star is too generous.

Unit for 5 people with,3 chairs at a 2 person table.4 bath towelsCutlery and crockery for 3 - I had to wash it all before using.2 small fridges, 1 leaking everywhere on the floor.Multiple lights not working.The pool has a green look to water rather than blue.Entire complex lacks maintenance.

Nice little cozy place in Katherine. Definitely pretty good for a small rural town in the NT. But of course the fittings/plumbing all old. However, the bed is comfy, clean room and air con works. Unfortunately, my night was interrupted by the dripping tap. But what can you do. I put up with it. Because the chances of calling in a plumber at night in Katherine, on a weekend, wouldve been unreal. Definitely nice affordable motel for families. Ample parking. Does the job. They provide with some fresh towels, iron box, but no good ironing board, microwave, kettle, mini fridge, soap and some mini shampoo/conditioner bottles. Overall would go again, if a little bit cheaper.
