The property is safe, calm and quiet. Our cabin was very comfortable and clean, great bed linen. Aircon had been put on before our arrival so the room was clean. New pool and BBQ area is excellent. Gardens with well established trees are clean, cool and green. Kitchen well equipped including a double door fridge. Locked key box easy to access and clear instructions for our arrival after the reception had closed. Overall we had a wonderful stay and rest after the drive from Alice Springs.

Great place. A bit of construction going on but clearly to enhance the overall property. We had a complete self check in and out. Little communication but the room was a nice self contained unit. The grounds and pools were kept immaculate and clean. It was easy to get to and a little ways out of town. Would recommend for a couple of days stay in Katherine.

The cabin iteself was lovely, although filthy due to the works surrounding all of these cabins and pool area. Kettle was unusable, due to severe calcium build up, that couldn't be scrubbed off and makes the water chalky. Kitchen amenities were great. Bedrooms were great. Washing machine use at caution! Ours danced around due to not being balanced correctly. Fantastic aircon. NO WIFI AT THE CABINS and very limited reception (Telstra)!! Very spacious. Will be amazing once works are completed and upgrades to WIFI. Beautiful Sunrise on side walkway!

This place was fantastic. Very large lounge, kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom. I mostly enjoyed the attention to detail in the design - built in bedside lights for all beds, book shelf above the bed head, seperate toilet, shelf for suitcase, verandah with outside furniture and Full size fridge. The linen was great and beds comfy - would definitely stay again. It is a little exy, but you wont be disappointed. Thank you

Loved our stay here

This is a caravan and camping resort which also has self catering cabins. We stayed in an elevated 1 bedroom bungalow with a combined kitchen lounge area, seperate bedroom and spacious bathroom with shower. Kitchen was well equiped with large fridge freezer, cooktop and microwave. The table and chairs on the balcony made a perfect spot for relaxing with a drink and nibbles. Shaded parking was available under the cabin. The place was very clean and quiet situated about 5km from Katherine on the road to the gorge. The only negative was that the internet was a bit slow and intermittent but given the location that was hardly surprising. If we were in this area again we would definitely book in here.
