It was ok. It served the purpose for somewhere to stay whilst we explored Katherine.
Pros:

It was ok but expensive for a teeny room. More like a cabin park room without cooking facilities! The advertising pictures made it alot more inviting than the reality. The staff were lovely, accommodating and very helpful.

Cons:

Food was cold and breakfast was regenerated the next day. The scrambled eggs were from the day before and reheated. Not able to just have ala carte brekky. Dinner serves were cold. The crocodile tasted like chicken and steak serve was not 209grms cooked!. Shower teeny and shower curtain old fashion.

Out standing. Everything was very good.
Pros:

Everything was perfect. From the time you check in, the staff were kind and very easy to check in. To the easy assess to the rooms, comfortable beds, to the beautiful refreshing pool. Was so good.
The place felt safe. But the thing I love the most was the 10/10 food. The best steak I have ever eaten. The food quality was so outstanding. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was perfect
