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.

Nice Hotel to stay with Family
Pros:

Rooms were big and soundproof, so with little kids it was great. Hotel have bigger area with all amenities specially BBQ area. Location was perfect on the highway so easily reachable. We have taken 5 rooms and the best compliment we got for arranging such nice hotel.

Cons:

Toilets to be a little more upgraded as it seems quite old. Else all was good. A little pricy as per the location and ratings.

Disappointed with room provided, loved the staff and grounds.
Pros:

Staff and breakfast were great, very happy with well-maintained gardens and wildlife.

Cons:

Room was very dated and the bathroom shower recess was moldy. Bathroom cabinet was water damaged and falling apart. When ringing ahead to arrange shower chair and confirm guest was very elderly, I am surprised the moldy bathroom room was provided. This was $300 per night for the one person, very expensive.
