Happy to stay here again, Location is good , also close to Katherine club. Secure parking is a big plus. Rooms are clean with tea & Coffee making facilities. Coin operated washers and dryers. What the place needs is Free WIFI. Hotel also has a 'Hot Rock' restaurant which I have eaten at but I am not keen on the... More

The hotel is very conveniently located in town, next door to the Katherine club and directly across the road from the Katherine River. Bed was very comfy, secure parking, but not in front of your room. The hotel also has a nice pool area and restaurant.

Stayed here as part of a tour group. Room overlooked the pool - very few were swimming so no noise issue from that quarter. No noise eother from the main drag as this place is off it at more-or-less the end of the shopping strip. The room was big enough but not huge. Slept OK. Food was obviously cooked especially... More

Large rooms with double beds. Clean, modern bathrooms with shower only. Coin operated washers and dryers. Helpful front desk and bar staff. Modest buffet but fesh food put out as needed. Ask for a poolside/garden room.

On travelling from Darwin and arriving rather late this was the first motel that my wife and I noticed. The receptionist was very pleasant when approached and being tired we accepted the room offerred. The room was average for a 3star but certainly not 4 star. That is where the good report stops, the restaurant was only serving "Stone grill"... More

Being walking distance from all shops, pubs and eating holes, Paraway Motel is a decent option if you're looking to stay in the town area of Katherine. Rooms are basic but tidy, and the general grounds, including the pool and garden areas, are well kept. Temporary workers and bus loads of tour groups are common clients here, but there is... More

Accomodation is ok, this is not a four star motel, staff were friendly but not enough of them. The Restruant is ok, not a lot of choices in Katherine, we had the Stone Rock and cooked a steak on it at our table, meat is ok. Not a great wine list if you are seeking something special.

This is my second stay at this Hotel and it was so disappointing. My room, as before, was essentially clean, light and airy (which is why I liked this Hotel) but there were some fundamental failings which really let this place down. Firstly - the state of the balcony outside my room - tin cans full of cigarette butts -... More

Good location just on the edge of town. Rooms really spacious and very clean. Lovely pool and spa and outdoor seating area. Managers were extremely helpful and, as I didn't have a car, dropped me off for scenic flight and to bus. Would definitely recommend.

Because Trip Advisor doesn’t list the ‘Carriage Restaurant’ in Katherine I will do my review here. Well yesterday was our 4th wedding anniversary and we are running out of options in Katherine for somewhere to celebrate. The Carriage Restaurant is one of our last places to try in this small town of 10,000 people. Not knowing how popular this place... More
