The Stuart Hotel-Motel

This place was not what we were expecting at all. It is a self check-in and you get your codes the day prior to arriving. Check in was easy. The car parking behind security remote gates was limited and it is first come first serve basis and because it is quite narrow people park their cars crooked taking up 2 spaces. There is no hotel now as the police officer we met trying to find it told us it has closed and is now a "Coffee Club" franchise. It is just accommodation so not sure why their website states karaoke and food. I was more angry at the $195 per night i was charged for a "Deluxe" Semi self contained Room for what we got. The room although dated especially the bathroom was just ok. Beds were comfortable and linen clean. The "kitchenette" as such, had the plates, glasses and bowls just sitting in a dish rack on the bench, no tea towels or dishcloths to wash up and they were all dirty. Some plates and glassware still had food and wine marks still on them. Certainly not enough tableware for 2 people, we had 1 bowl between the 2 of us but 4 plates. Lucky i had bought my own plastic ware so opted to use it instead. The only good thing about this place was the pool which was lovely. We walked 5 mins to the local RSL club for dinner which was lovely and cheap. We felt safe walking at night but kept our witts about us like anywhere i suppose. The tv was poor and we had to try and plug in HDMI cable ourselves from previous customers. To sum up our 2 night stay i would suggest to stay elsewhere as there is much much better places to choose from. I have attached 1 photo of the pool area as i didn't want to be reminded of our stay here

We stayed for one night and whilst our room showed some wear and tear, it was clean, the bed comfortable, towels and linen good quality. Well equipped for basic self catering with some crockery and cutlery, microwave, fridge and coffee machine. ( although we didn’t use any of these as we went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise through the Katherine Gorge) . We found it to be quiet and secure.

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.

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!

This motel is great. In the heart of Katherine so right next door to Coffee club for breakfast. Good room with several comfy beds, brilliant hot shower, great aircon. The little things like coffee machine and 6 pods, cutlery, crockery, milk in fridge, quality shampoo and conditioner all made it a great stay. Chris, the manager, is very friendly and helpful. He suggested The Club for dinner, 300 m away and was one of my favourite meals on our trip. Felt safe and parked car in front of motel with no problems. Pool looked fantastic!!! Thanks Chris, a great night!!
