Good spot for Tennant Creek. This is outback NT, you can't expect too much. These guys really need to spend some more time servicing these rooms though. I had the bed by the air con and I had mould flying on the bed before I was sleeping, so we had to sleep with the filthy thing switched off.

OK For one or two nights. Would be a lot better if the rooms received a good once over & cleaned up aircon was noisy event on the quiet setting & the aircon filters where filthy. I stayed in one of the older rooms, my tip would be to get a newer renovated room. The TV's where flat screen &... More

This place is filthy! Bathroom is appalling and water does not drain properly. Curtain hanging off the wall, carpet pulled away from tiles, AC extremely noisy and locals in the drain next door very noisy. Also the owners dog attacking selected dark skinned people. My son is olive and the dog had to be kicked away from him. Management said... More

I statek there for one night driving from Darwin to Uluru. Room was ok, nothing special though. There's one think worth mentioning that relates to the whole town, but also to the motel. Everything closes down pretty early there, so bring your own supplies if you plan to arrive in the evening. If not for the friendly owners of Chinese... More

I stayed here for two weeks on business, the rooms were okay, certainly nothing special and needed updating, the air conditioners were very noisy to the point of waking you up in the night when they clicked on. The managers seem to have the opinion that the reception doesn't have to be open all day, they regularly left the front... More

I stayed here on business. The room was dingy and had not been cleaned properly. The room was not serviced the next day. There is a shortage of electrical points which means you cannot have the TV, DVD and fridge on at the same time. The room was crammed with beds (it was a booking for one). There was a... More

My family of 6 stayed here for one night on our way to Darwin. We didnt have a booking so were happy when they had a room big enough for us available. I asked to look at it first, the room was old and dated but had 2 queen beds and a bunk, and an aircon and we were only... More

This a first time ever that I have reviewed a motel before checking out. Being a former Golden Chain management couple under Stephen Drew we are disgusted at this so called 3star motel. On arrival after a long drive and needing to stop somewhere to rest we thought that this would be the place. How wrong we're we I had... More

Booked on line ages ahead of a busy period, at what I consider a premium rate for something of this standard. A week later told they were overbooked and we got bounced Ratbags I suspect they got a big booking from overseas and bounced us locals.
