“Good Stay - Good Food - Friendly Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I have stayed in all the Motels in Tennant Creek over the past 2 years and none of the match up to the Bluestone - The Bluestone is my only choice and recommendation The rooms are always clean and confortable the staff are always willing to oblige.

Most eats in Tennant Creek are very ordinary but the Bluestone seem to offer the best I have eaten in such a small town - And I am a very fusy one and hard to please so far the bluestone has delivered. order early !!!

“Is This The Worst Restaurant in the World for Service?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We had a table of 8. We had to go to the bar to order our drinks, $9.50 for a Crown Lager. The wine list was a joke, every wine we asked for wasn't available. There were 3 or 4 types of cheap reds in a rack, they wanted $40 for a "no-name". We ordered a large achovy pizza as an entree for the group to share. After 45 minues some other type of pizza arrived. I went to the bar to let the woman know the wrong pizza arrived. She stood there and argued that I'd ordered the type of pizza which had arrived. She stormed off into the kitchen. Then a guy dressed as a chef came out with a plate of half eaten pizza (ours) arguing that we should have known before we tasted it that it wasn't anchovy and remonstrated for some minutes about the fact we'd tried it and "upset the waitress". I was looking for the closed circuit TV to see if we'd been "punked". Obviously we left at that point. There was no going back....and there WILL BE NO GOING BACK! WHat a joke!

“Excellent stay hère!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

We arrived late around 10 pm and there was a letter for us. The réception was closed. There was a phone nimber to call when we arrive. It was nice from the réception employées.
We had Some troubles on the road and were not able to comme on Time at Tennant. It s Good to Know That even if something happened there Will be an alternative to each situation.
It s easy access, the parking is in front of the room. The room is clean. The bathroom seemed durty but the calcium is the responsible. In fact it s clean.
This are a is the dryest of the world. But during m'y stay there was storm and rain all days. It was amazing in the dryest are a!
The Check out was quick.
There was complimentary tea an coffee maker and milk in the fridge
M'y stop over hère was really nice

“The place to stay for excellant food friendly staff and good clean country style accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

If you want a feed to last and linger then the Resturant at the Bluestone motel inn is for you.
Over the past 12 months Ihave stayed with these excellent hosts on many occasions.
As a matter of choice the company has made this our destination when visiting Tennant Creek.
During my stay Ihave sampled the entire menu.
Nothing is too much trouble and the quality and the helpings will satisfy the most decerning traveller.
If Ihad a favorite Iwould have to say the "Surf and Turf".Ask the staff they are most helpful and the Manager/Chef is a real find for the owner as "Scot" can turn his hand to almost anything at anytime within reason.
I prefer the rooms to the rear of the property but 45 is probably my choice.Ask the staff where "UGLY" from "Excalibur" likes to eat and sleep and if they are on their game and know their regulars they will put you in the picture and tell them "Tom" sent you.
Scot has a loyal and honest staff and has his young sister to back him up.
Now keep this among friends I heard there are good deals to be had if you mention my name.

Room Tip: Away from the main road and to the rear of the complex. This is one of the earlier motels and it ha...
