Guest Reviews

• cj (9/5): Lovely retreat - Friendly hosts room was lovely. Nice to be off the beaten track. Dogs begging when eating.
• Erica (9/5): Tranquil stay in a beautiful natural environment with all the modern facilities required for comfort. - Easy out of town access, very peaceful, comfortable accommodation. Lots of bugs around but that comes from being so close to nature.
• David (6/5): - Friendly host, clean room, quiet location out of town No phone service or internet connection in room. X2 dogs off lead. Front gate needs manual opening/closing.
• Mario (8/5): - Sauberkeit, Ruhe, Gut eingerichtet, Besteck/ Geschirr Empfang, 4:55 pm angerufen daß wir am Tor stehen, Telefon aufgelegt und SMS erhalten, das Check-in um 5 pm ist, Kinder der Gastgeber haben uns aufs Gelände gebracht. kleinlich und unprofessionell, Gastgeber nicht gesehen....... Pool und Gemeinschaftsbereich sehr nahe am Wohnbereich der Gastgeber. Wenig Intimität. Warum haben wir dort gebucht ? unsere vorherige Unterkunft musste wg.Flutschäden leider absagen.

• Penney (10/5): - Billy, the owner, went OUT of his way to ensure all was well for me. Helped me with all of my needs, including air pressure for my slowly deflating tyre wheel. Was warm, friendly, chatty and made me feel right at home Nothing that I can think of

• Frank (9/5): -
• Rieny (10/5): We hebben het zeer naar ons zin gehad. - De locatie en hoe we werden opgevangen. De ruimte was aan de kleine kant.
• James (10/5): - Lovely room (don’t let it being a retired shipping container dissuade you), clean, a large communal area with a pool and many couches to choose from, welcoming hosts, and some very friendly cats and dogs!

• Karen (10/5): -
• Brian (9/5): -

• Mark (9/5): Very tranquil and peaceful stay. - Located a little way out of town. Very quiet, large property surrounded by bush land. We were in an air conditioned converted shipping container away from the main house, shared bathroom facilities which were modern and always very clean. Our room was very comfortable with tasteful fresh new decor. We had the use of the swimming pool and several very comfortable communal areas. The communal kitchen was small but well stocked and clean. Parking right beside the room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. The mattress was quite thin making it a little uncomfortable.
• John (10/5): - Beutifull property and gardens, the facilities were 110% cant say any more than faultless
• Fiona (10/5): This was our second stay and would definitely book again. - We had such a fantastic stay — everything about the accommodation exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, and had all the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect for exploring the area, such a peaceful setting. Huge thanks to our hosts for making our holiday so memorable. We’d absolutely stay again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway!
• Mervyll (10/5): A welcome oasis - Peaceful Nothing
• Mark (9/5): -
• Peter (10/5): Peaceful cabins in garden setting - Cabins are located in quiet spot short drive from town. Eco cabins have nice tropical garden outside them. Shared use of the kitchen and outdoor covered terrace/ lounges and swimming pool is great. The host Billy and family were very friendly and helpful. Nothing. Just note that toilet/shower is located near the house a short walk away from the cabins which are at the rear of the property
• Petra (10/5): Die beste Unterkunft in der Nähe von Katherine. - Die Unterkunft liegt auf einem Privatgrundstück 8 km außerhalb von Katherine. Den Nitmuluk NP kann man von hier problemlos erreichen. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, wie ein Park; hat dabei aber ihren australischen Charakter behalten. Wir hatten einen Bungalow aus Wellblech, wie es in Australien üblich ist. Unser Bungalow hatte ein eigenes Bad mit allem Komfort. Auch die Küche enthält alles, was man so braucht. Einen eigenen Herd gibt es dort nicht. Dafür kann man, wenn man will, die Gemeinschaftsküche nutzen. Es ist alles sehr sauber. Es gibt hier nur drei Bungalows auf dem Grundstück, daher ist alles sehr familiär und ruhig. Die Besitzer sind sehr zuvorkommend und versuchen jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Wir übernachten hier auf unserem Rückweg aus den Kimberleys erneut und freuen uns darauf. Das Internet an den Zimmern könnte besser sein.
• Fiona (10/5): Such a beautiful place to unwind & recoup from a long trip.drive. - Secluded & so quiet. Loved the gardens & listening to the birds. Nothing
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Cheree (9/5): Superb -
• Kylie (8/5): Beautiful surroundings and a great host in Katherine. - The host was very friendly and accommodating. The room was lovely with a beautiful garden view out the windows. Pool looked lovely. Not really a laundry.The family washing machine is available for use. Clothes will need to be hung to dry where the family live, for all to see. If you don't need to do lots of washing, it's a great place to stay.
• Diane (8/5): Pleasant stay in peaceful location - Very nice accommodation in a lovely rural setting
• Miranda (9/5): Perfect set up, cosy spot - The shipping container is cosy and has everything you need and Billy is very accomodating and very friendly. Great feel to the property Nothing!
• Sue (8/5): Friendly farm stay - This is a rural property on the outskirts of Katherine. Very friendly hosts and dogs to make you feel welcome. Nothing
• Timothy (9/5): Superb -
• Carol (8/5): Very good -
• Sfw (10/5): Exceptional -
• Malcolm (9/5): Enjoyable, peaceful stay with a good kitchen. - Lovely location and helpful, friendly host. Seating for 2 inside the building would have been helpful, but perhaps not really possible given the space.
• Rosa (9/5): Quaint, cosy and tidy accommodation with all the amenities you need. - Great location outside of town. Clean and simple accommodation with all you need. Staff and pets were very friendly! The room with ensuite had a very strong stanch, I couldn’t stand the smell but my friend didn’t seem to mind it. The bed in the other cabin is ok but very low and not overly comfortable.
• Rita (3/5): Poor - Surrounding gardens were lovely. The owner spent 20 minutes talking before we could actually unwind. We had been touring all day & were extremely tired. His Manchester accent was very hard to understand, and he kept waffling on. Accommodation was up the back of the property in converted shipping containers. The bed was too big for the room and very low to the ground. There was one foot on either side, making it difficult to get out, especially if you suffered with a bad back or knees. Bathroom facilities were quite away from your accommodation. Shared shower & toilet, both in the same building. Made it extremely difficult to go to the toilet if someone was taking a shower. You had to wait as there was no other toilet! Kitchen & laundry were behind shower/toilet. Not enough cutlery or plates, which were all mixed together in plastic boxes. The pool area was shared with owners and their family. Large old dogs roaming around property bailing you up & barking at you. I was bailed up in the kitchen by two dogs, which would not let me out. It was quite frightening, then they would be all over you when you tried to relax and eat in the pool area. I had to shoo them away and was annoyed when they wouldn't leave. Too bad if you're scared of dogs. Another customer was also bailed up by the dogs along the driveway. I had to help her get away. Lounge areas near BBQ's and pool area were shared with owners. Very poor internet reception. I moved to get a better signal when two of the female owners sat in my spot drinking & and smoking, where my clothes were with a total disregard to me as paying guests. My clothes smelt of cigarette smoke! We ended up going back to our shipping container for some peace & quiet and to get away from the dogs. A worker was in the large shed, making lots of noise with power tools. On the inside of the property, you were surrounded by beautiful gardens. Long, dry grass surrounded the outer perimeter of the property along the fence line.
• Nevan (3/5): a very strange experience in a very remote location. - entrance garden entry lured you into a different experience. I wasnt expecting a shipping container out the back in a shed next to a chicken coup (no chickens though). Billy is brash and wife never bothered saying hello despite us standing beside her waiting for someone to acknowledge us. We didnt feel very welcome. Container had a glass end but no curtains. Price drop from $185 to $113 ($126 charged) is click bait.
• Dearne (9/5): Welcoming and peaceful location - Peaceful location Queen room very clean and comfortable. Host was very welcoming.
• Lester (8/5): Very good - We loved our stay with Billy....lovely peaceful private accommodation.
• Jann (9/5): We would recommend it - Very quiet and peaceful Nothing

• Raquel (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect!
