Pros:

I recommend staying at this motel if you are visiting Tenant Creek!
The staff are excellent, the rooms are spotlessly clean, and the pool is clean and at the perfect temperature.
The motel is not in the town centre, but just outside, with security gates.
And for the breakfast is a simple one but nice one.

The place is screaming for some TLC.
Pros:

Pet friendly. Friendly staff. Basic but tasty menu at the restaurant.

Cons:

The pool was clean, but otherwise the property is not well maintained/ very run down. The shower head leaked and is in need of CLR, the toilet only half flushed, the bed must’ve been at least as old as I am.

Overpriced
Cons:

Aircon wasn’t turned on for our arrival on a 40 degree day, the room smelt of sewerage , the cold water was boiling hot and there were few PowerPoints and low lighting. Breakfast packs were out of date. Staff did their best to assist.

Pros:

The location and the gates closing at 10PM, overall felt safe while inside.

Cons:

The room was filthy and had a strong sewerage smell. The shower made an extremely loud noise and was covered in stains and the toilet would not flush properly.

We were travelling with a pet and were charged an additional cleaning fee, which is totaly fine.

However, on arrival it was clear the room had not been properly cleaned by a previous guest and their pet — there was hair everywhere, the carpet was dirty, and the overall cleanliness was terrible.

The clearly new staff were very friendly and polite but appeared to be unsupported.

The meals where actually good, they take some time to come out, the menu is massive for the size of the restaurant.


Overall, the experience was very expensive for the standard provided.
