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.

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.

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.

Calm, serene but far

The room was excellent. Very clean and comfortable. Premise is not close to shops or restaurants so plan in advance and go to shops prior to going to the property which is in a lovely, calm and serene setting. If needed I will certainly rebook there again.

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 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.

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!
