“Decent for a brief stay, don't expect luxury”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We booked a cabin stay for one night, at a discount rate available through the internet. The lady at the reception was very friendly and was happy to help with our tourist queries and bookings. The Resort is at the end of Katherine township which leads to Nitmiluk National Park, so it is quite conveniently located.

The cabin itself, while clean and spacious, was quite old, although the appliances like the fridge and microwave, looked new. One light was flickering and needed replacement, and the air con unit had a lot of trouble cooling down the space. Even though the hotel brochure said that the bistro would be open from 7am onwards on weekends, it was closed when we went to check it out. Mind you, on a Sunday most of Katherine's businesses seemed to be closed as well, so it seems to be a trend, though it made the business of getting something to eat a bit of a drama.

While each cabin has its own shower and toilet, they are built separately and are not attached to the cabin. It was something we knew about, but might come as a shock to the unprepared.

So, overall, a mixed reaction to the accommodation, but it's ok if you're staying for a short period of time and aren't expecting luxury.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thankyou for taking the time to review us on Trip Advisor.

I am glad you found the resort conveniently located in Katherine and you took advantage of our discounted rate for our cabins through the internet.

I am glad you found the cabin clean and spacious and it is a shame one of light's was flickering. I hope you informed our reception to get the maintenance department to fix it.

I am surprised the restaurant was closed for breakfast at 7:00am as we open daily at 6:30am and at the moment at 5:30am.

We do advertise that our cabin's have an outside bathroom and we also advertise our cabin's are our budge accommodation, therefore the much cheaper rate than our Executive or Motel rooms.

We hope to see you again at Knotts Crossing Resort.

Kind regards,

Joanna Pace

“Blah”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

I guess we went in with the wrong expectation. we had what seemed a motel room and although large, it was musky, dark and the decor was just beyond laughable - I have to say though it kept us entertained, but all for the wrong reasons as we were making jokes of things like the ironing board, tables and so on. This is a convenient place to stay when visiting Katherine so I guess that was a positive. Breakfast was included in the morning and although simple was quite nice. We didn't use any other facilities

“Not what it claims to be.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

Stayed in the Cabin accomodation and must admit i was very, very disipointed.
Paid $99 on WOTIF the day before arrival as i was in Katherine last min for work. Upon entering the cabin i was like, where's the toilet? Turns out its outside, yep, outside and to get to it you have to walk around the cabin, with no cover (it's the wet season people, so plan to get drenched!). Not at all a plesent experance when you need to get up in the middle of the night and return to your room covered in mud.
When i checked in i asked if the room included breakfast as i couldn't remember. The lady laughed and said not at that cheap rate. After seeing the room, i can say without pause that it was far overpriced and not at all a plesent stay. I would hate to pay full price for it.
Food was good though, just try not too look at the price. Seems my idea of a good and fair price differs from the resorts.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for taking the time to review us on Trip Advisor.

I note you were unhappy with the bathroom being located outside. The room description on Wotif.com does mention that the Cabin is a "Freestanding cabin with private external ensuite". I understand that the external ensuite does not suit everyone.

We hope to see you again at Knotts Crossing Resort.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
