Overall Ratings

Riverview Tourist Village is located just 4 minutes from the town centre it is an ideal base from which to explore the many attractions in and around Katherine. The Hot Springs are located at the back of our park on the banks of the Katherine River. This shady, spring fed, thermal pool is an ideal and safe swimming area, great for soaking your tired muscles. Have a dip before breakfast or at the end of the day after a cruise on Katherine Gorge. Sit back and relax under our shady trees with a cool drink. Katherine Low Level Reserve is within walking distance, ideal for fishing. It is accessible via our back gate and a 1km stroll on a bitumen walkway. Riverview has its own Barra Cafe serving a wide range of meals for all budgets. Essential supplies are readily available at our on site United Roadhouse & Shop. Quiet, shady, clean and comfortable Riverview offers 9 motel units, 9 ensuite cabins and 8 non-ensuite cabins. There are98 powered sites and 25 unpowered sites.
Nice park, comfortable but dated cabin
Reviewed By ejm84Really 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.

Fantastic place to stay for exploring Litchfield Park
Reviewed By Kim MWe 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!

Beautiful but some improvements
Reviewed By Alyssa SWe 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 RThe 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
5. Noonamah Tourist Park

Hidden gem
Reviewed By ShizaneUsually 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.

Thanks Big 4 Breeze
Reviewed By FlyinglarksWe 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.

Awesome place to stay
Reviewed By Tourist61546062686This 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 bobjanhstayed 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.

Best Bakery on the Stuart Highway
Reviewed By Danielle MMataranka 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.
