Nice park, comfortable but dated cabin

Reviewed By ejm84

Really nice and quiet park. Great location, loved walking straight out the back of the property to the gorgeous hot springs (only a 5-10 minute walk) and a little way out of the town centre so no parking or noise issues. Friendly service at reception both for check-in and check-out (Dee is lovely). We had a standard ensuite cabin which was comfortable but dated, definitely needs a bit of maintenance (wooden door frames rotting, holes in walls, dirty curtains to name a couple of things). The double bed was surprisingly comfortable and the cabin was spacious enough for the two of us. It was lovely and cool when we arrived as someone had had the foresight to put the air conditioning on for us which was greatly appreciated. Handy kitchen and cooking facilities in the cabin including a full fridge. Cabins seem to be well soundproofed as we were situated right near the communal BBQ area but didn't hear anything even though there were several people about and the people in the cabin next to us were outside drinking until fairly late. The price was reasonable, I guess, for this time of year (top end dry season even though it was still stinking hot) but wouldn't be thrilled about paying that price again outside of peak season. We were happy with the service and accommodation and would stay again.

Litchfield Tourist Park

Fantastic place to stay for exploring Litchfield Park

Reviewed By Kim M

We were so impressed by this well maintained tourist park with a lovely tropical feel. The owners/staff were so friendly and professional and really took pride in the property. The two bedroom cabin well designed (we loved the outdoor shower and the large deck), immaculately clean and well equipped. The pool was refreshing and a great place to meet fellow travellers. Highly recommended!

Nitmiluk Chalets & Campground

Beautiful but some improvements

Reviewed By Alyssa S

We stayed in one of the chalets, it was just what we needed and suited our needs perfectly, a beautiful setting in amongst the bush. It was clean, tidy and had all the utensils we could need. Highly recommend the lookout walk for sunset or sunrise, only short but gives you an amazing view over the George! However the general communication from the company upon booking and in the lead up to the stay needs to be improved. We were informed upon arrival that some services like their evening restaurant was not open during our stay (we could not eat at Cicada lodge because we weren’t staying there) - even though the website said it was. This meant we had to get back into the car and drive back to Katherine to get supplies for dinner (after a 5 hour drive already). This could have been improved by providing upon the point of booking an advisement that we will need to source food from the town - we could have then done that on the way rather than return to Kathrine again. Also when I called a few days earlier to ask some questions the phone was disconnected and my emails were not responded to until 2 days later (just hours before we checked in). It was clear they have been impacted by covid and staff issues but just communicating that ahead of time would have been ok, setting the expectations right before arrival so that we could be prepared. Thank you.

New ensuite cabin was very nice

Reviewed By David R

The cabin had everything that we needed and was very comfortable. Make sure you go to the bird feeding which was interesting plus we played mini golf which was a bit of fun. The wifi was not reliable in our cabin but it was better if you went near the office

Noonamah Tourist Park

Caravan Park 40km south of Darwin on the Stuart Highway, lovely rural setting. Located behind Noonamah Tavern. Swimming pool, camp kitchen with free gas BBQ. Coin laundry. Discounts for longer stays.

Hidden gem

Reviewed By Shizane

Usually we drive past this little place, but decided to give it a go. We were upgraded into one of the newly renovated rooms, which is very modern and comfortable. There is a communal cooking area, fridge, stainless steel bench tops, microwave so that cooking smells will not get through these spaces. Extra toilets and a large laundry area have been provided and a newly landscaped garden area for guests to enjoying. Just loved the planning that has gone into keeping these areas unique. Definitely worth checking into! For meals & refreshments, the Tavern is located within a few steps and even though on a main road, we were not disturbed by any noise. The owner (sorry I can not remember her name) was so helpful and passionate about this park and I believe will continue to make improvements to cater for and enrich guests! Appreciated experience, thank you.

We recently spend 4 nights in an onsite cabin at Big 4 Breeze Katherine. We found our cabin to be very clean and comfortable. The ladies on the front desk were welcoming on our arrival. There's a great pool onsite for you to cool down in after a day exploring the local area. The park is only a few minutes driving into town. We would happily book this accommodation again.

This holiday park was by far one of the cleanest I have ever stayed at with the best facilities. Staff bent over backwards to help with any request and a day didn’t go by that we didn’t see grounds staff maintaining this awesome place - they always offered a smile, wave or a chat. 100% would come back for sure

Good stay

Reviewed By bobjanh

stayed a couple of nights in the caravan park out the back. Booked a powered site: check in at service station then go and find your own spot. Plenty of shade and grassed area. Swimming pool. Amenities older but clean. Roadhouse has cafe and bar areas hence the tavern. Meals OK but very much typical roadhouse style, We had an all-day breakfast and barra burger. Pleasant stay and nice facility/amenities.

Mataranka Roadhouse

The Mataranka Roadhouse has 14 cabins, serves meals and takeaway food all day, has a general store, groceries, convenience items and fuel. Mataranka is only an hour south of Katherine and 4 hours south of Darwin. It is a great community, well serviced and has two thermal springs which are very popular with the tourists. It is also conveniently located right on the busy Stuart Highway and Mataranka is the gate way to the famous barra country - Roper River. There is Telstra mobile phone and internet coverage at Mataranka so keeping in touch is a breeze.

Best Bakery on the Stuart Highway

Reviewed By Danielle M

Mataranka Roadhouse has everything you need for a stop on a long road trip. Friendly staff, great amenities and the best bakery! We have been to many small towns and many bakeries all over Australia and this one is up there with the best! Try the home made sausage roll, it’s huge, or the chilli pie for something spicy.
