The restaurant is a major focus of the hotel - great food, service and vibe.

Comfortable stay in Katherine
Pros:

The restaurant for dinner is a highlight - fabulous.

Cons:

Breakfast options were limited unless you wanted a cooked breakfast. Would have been nice to have more fruit selection, a Bircher muesli or chia pudding as an option.

Overall happy experience
Pros:

Bed and Breakfast

Cons:

Could not use verandah due to the afternoon sun as which also made the glass sliding doors heat up and warmed up the room too much.

Great gateway to activities .
Pros:

Restaurant and its terrace area was great. The food was wonderful. Whilst it is a little out of town we liked the quiet.

Cons:

Our room was not flash / smelt very much like bleach and the bathroom really needs a refresh.
