The Stuart Hotel-Motel

I kind of like that I get keys from a safe, open the gate, park the car and I am done. No waiting for check in or filling our paperwork. The rooms are always consistent. Older style but well kept and well appointed. Only downside (I think this happened last time too) NO MILK!’ I had tea bags, coffee pods, coffee machine, sugar…. But no milk. If you’re like me you need milk for your tea / coffee first thing in the morning or you’re grumpy all day 🤣. Otherwise it’s become my goto when in KTown.

I’ve stayed here a few times now. I couldn’t find the email with the code for the lockbox and had to Google to find a contact number to call. From then on things were smooth. The rooms are large and well equipped. Linen is clean, the beds are comfortable and the aircon is nice and quiet. The rowdy locals are not the hotels fault but if they turn up in the carpark next door and. start their sh…t you won’t sleep. 2am -4am for me . There is a small but secure carpark and the entire complex is safe. It’s an easy walk to the Katherine Club or Woolies. I’ll stay here again next time.

Breakfast was included in the price but unfortunately had to walk 3 blocks away to another Hotel. Manager was kind enough to let us use the room until later in the day as we had to wait for the bus, and there was nowhere in Katherine to store lugguage.

We arrived early and because our room was not ready, we were given another so we could settle in. Jean-Claude was very pleasant and helpful. Self check-in was easy. Breakfast was very good but you do have to go to another motel a couple of blocks away. Not a problem for us but useful to know beforehand.

I can understand some people being shocked when they arrive and see the security gates and the surrounding street. But that’s Katherine. Once inside this little hotel you are safe and sound so just relax. Yes it’s old but it’s also very comfy. My room had been renovated and had everything I needed. Everything was absolutely spotless and well organised. My car was inside a security gate and there’s a pool, restaurant next door and a bottle shop. What more do you need! We walked to the Katherine Club for dinner and drinks which was great and we’ll priced. Oh yes, there is a karaoke place next door where the locals make some noise, but it was over by 4pm. Some of the singers weren’t bad TBH! Overall I’d say this was the best place I’ve stayed in Katherine so far, and I’ve been in a few. There’s even a price guide so you know what you’ll get charged if you steal anything. Can’t be any fairer than that! I’ll be back for sure

Very mediocre overall. Check-in mid afternoon was unattended with no email to advise code for key box, luckily another resident had access when we arrived. Didn’t see anyone at reception through the stay. Rooms are tired and I’ll-equipped.

We found the stay to be very pleasant. The self serve check in was well organised and very easy. Rooms were nice and the stay was very comfortable.

Do not stay here on a Friday night. The motel units share a wall with the beer garden which has very loud karaoke until midnight on Friday that sounds like it is inside your room. Their website now has a warning about it but there is nothing on wotif. The rooms were renovated inside but everything else about it was pretty poor.

Basic but lovely clean room. Bonus free breakfast offered at their sister motel around the corner. Full buffet, which was beautiful. Welcoming hosts. Central secure location. Good value for money. Thank you!
