Contour Hotel Katherine

I am guessing we were allocated a standard room as it certainly didn’t look like any of the photos posted by management on this listing. So assuming we were then the description of these is no frills and whistles here, just your basic rectangular block motel accommodation, where you park your vehicle in front of your rectangular block shape room, then have the beds by the door, basic storage facilities opposite (fortunately with tea and coffee facilities and a decent sized fridge) and a small very simple and plain, but functional bathroom at the back.
Our room had a decor from, well I’m not sure when, but we used to have a shower curtain set up like that when I was a lad in the sixties. The important things however, such as the air conditioning and the Wi-Fi all worked well and the bed was comfortable, and despite being next to the road, the room was quiet and a good night’s sleep was had.
I cannot comment on the value as we stayed here for one night as part of a three-day ATT Kings tour to Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks, but I am guessing it will not be cheap in high season for what you get, as there is not a great deal of choice In Katherine. We didn’t eat here, but others from our tour group did and said the food was fantastic and almost worth the basic accommodation just for the restaurant.

Great place to stay in Katherine

large spacious rooms, clean and airy. ample parking in front of the room, ideal if visiting Katherine Gorge. The check in is quick and professional. They have a coffee tea make in the room and the restaurant is close by

Plenty of room and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was a bit small but everything worked alright and the shower was big enough. The heat pump worked well

A lovely, well-maintained property with excellent amenities. The location is convenient, close to the village yet peaceful. Highlights include a pristine swimming pool, a delightful restaurant, and exceptionally friendly staff. The room was spacious, with a very comfortable bed.

Es ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, der Preis ist nicht angemessen, aber da wenig Alternativen vorhanden sind … Schöner Pool und gute Ausgangslage für die Umgebung

Fair. Needs repairing of basics like dripping taps and door locks that are finicky. Hot breakfasts vary in gourmet appeal - possibly depending on the weekend or weekday chef (Weekends won!) Cleaning staff could have been more aware that replacing towels is better than simply taking them. Lovely location.

Older style hotel in Katherine. Very clean, average size, older style bathrooms and has a great breakfast and dinner. Very good value.

The front slide door the step not good, too high.
Also bathroom is very old easy make flour wet.
Need to add subtitles on tv

The rooms had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the showers were good, the fridge was cold, and the air conditioner was working. We also had a meal in the restaurant, which was very good. There was plenty of parking and there was gated security. Would stay here again for sure.

Units needa bit of TLC as they are looking a bit jaded

Was a nice stay. Glad to be a little out of town. Restaurant was very nice!

.

A nice quiet spot to stay - buffet breakfast option was good for convenience.

Stayed here for 1 night whilst on business. The room had everything I needed.

It's convenient, clean and well kept.

Nice facilities for the cost of the room. Air-conditioning in the restaurant. Nice meal.

I have stayed at the Contour previously and decided to try this establishment again. The Standard room is overpriced and incredibly basic. It's below a three star rating. I have found long black hairs on the floor and the room is in need of a refurbish with cracked tiles and dirty floor. The restaurant food was deplorable: a starter of Turkish bread (4 slices) and main of Caesar Salad + 1 gin based cocktail cost me a whopping $72. The music playing at the restaurant was too loud and songs with explicit lyrics were being played. One particular song was rather insulting to women. The Caesar Salad was presented with no flair whatsoever and you would have to be very careful not to break teeth on the croutons. I left without finishing my meal. The waitress was incredulous that I was unhappy about my food and the loud offensive music. She took my critique as an affront and did not offer any apologies.

It was okay

Room was absolutely not worth $325 a night (breakfast included) room is very old, screw/fixture holes in walls & ceiling from remodeling that have never been filled, No seating in room other than 1 hard plastic chair, we had to sit on the bed, dead bugs all throughout the sliding door tracks & in bathroom, heavy soap scum in the shower, breakfast food was cold, seems they did not know how to use the heating elements, they also did not know how to cook a medium rare steak, returned & reserved medium well, it was a $70 cut… The grounds were nice, that’s about it, no chance of ever going back
