Guest Reviews

• alan (8/5): - It doesnt look like much from the outside , but the room was great the staff was amazing and the dinner and lunch options were great and reasonable prices
• Shane (6/5): - parking was good and secure, however floodlighting made the room bright at night and not great for sleep. Room was clean and well kept but showed its age, only thing missing from the cutlery was bowls. overall a pleasant experience.
• Lorraine (8/5): - Our room was spacious and well kept, very clean. Plenty of bench space and very comfortable beds. Parking right outside the door was very convenient. Staff are lovely - very courteous and helpful. A shout out to the lady (with blond hair) who cleaned the rooms. Outside could use a bit of a tidy up so it was a very pleasant surprise to find the room in really good condition.
• Rene (8/5): - Rooms are clean and staff where fantastic.
• KENNETH (2/5): - Didnt like the security light lighting up room all night
• Suzanne (8/5): - If you have to stay at Tennent Creek this is the place staff super, food good, and is gated at night
• Mark (8/5): Just passing through but a good choice. - A one night stay in the motel. A bit rough in some aspects of condition but secure and comfy. Good bed, great shower. Hotel buffet dinner was a good value option. Service was great from check-in onwards. Good info provided about the town and dinner options.
• Sharmaine (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful and it was a clean and comfortable stay overnight - would recommend!
• Dave (8/5): - Looks can be deceiving, but this was a pleasant place to stay.
• David (8/5): - This accommodation is a classic case of not judging a book by it's cover. We were very daunted when we first arrived at the location but were pleasantly surprised with the room. Very comfortable, clean with everything provided for a short stay.
• Sharon (8/5): Ok stay - As a roadhouse goes it was ok. Clean sheets good shower.
• RODNEY (4/5): - Internet doesn’t show the true premises as in the photos where taken a very long time ago
• Ashleingh (10/5): - Very clean and tidy
• David (8/5): - Owner very helpful
• Jonathan (6/5): - N
• Aaron (6/5): Great, cheap and clean - This place is fine for a quick stay and is cheap, clean and quick. Yes the rooms are dated, but you’re not paying thousands of dollars. The pub had a buffet for dinner that was $25, you wouldn’t get a beer for $25 in most places, and the steak and chips was good. This place is fine for an overnight stop and the staff were great.
• Wayne (8/5): - Diamond in the rough
• Gary (6/5): - Difficulty in getting into the propert,
• Peter (4/5): - Firstly the address for the hotel is at the the back of the hotel. You actually have to go into the Bar at the front to check in and I only found it because a local helped me. Secondly the room and beddings smelt like smokes, it usually dosen't bother me but this was overpowering. Thirdly chef??? refuses to cook my steak the way I want, even on the menu he offers a insult to anyone who wants there steak well done.I wonder if he is really a chef or he dosent really no how to cook. The only good thing was the gates are locked at the night time and you felt same and the girl behind the bar was lovely though, very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately there was no other hotel available. If you are going to stay in Tennant creek book early at another hotel.
• james (8/5): - The meals are pretty good and the staff are lovely . Not much in town . The hotel looks really rough from outside but nice inside the rooms and the carpark is pretty secure. Meal prices are very reasonable. Only thing i didnt like was being in room 6 as you get to hear everyone stomping down the stairs from up stairs rooms . Otherwise bed was comfy room had everything and bathroom was pretty good . Water pressure was great as well.
• nicole (10/5): - All round great stay
• David (8/5): - I had an enjoyable stay, Thank you Goldfields motel.
• Rodney (8/5): - Friendly staff
• Rodney (8/5): - Friendly staff
• Matt (8/5): - Felt unsafe at first but was clean inside and secured during the night
• Stefan (10/5): - Excellent services, very clean, safe, hospitable staff. The city is a shocker but this accommodation is (almost) perfect.
• Robert (10/5): - A little noisy but overall not bad
• Kevin (8/5): - Owner was very helpful with friendly staff
• Jim (10/5): - Quiet, comfortable room. good facilities. Would use again.
• Val (10/5): - The motel rooms are at the back of the Goldfields Hotel which was gated, so we felt safe! There was a bit of noise but it settled down before we went to bed and we had a quiet night. The motel buildings are old and the surrounding area is very unattractive, however the room we had was extremely clean and pleasant, and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Bed was comfortable enough and the shower was great. There was a microwave, kettle and toaster plus butter plates and mugs. Plenty of tea, coffee and sugar sachets supplied. There were polar fleece blankets in the cupboard. They said there was a buffet dinner in the hotel for $25 each which we didn’t avail ourselves of. There is also a Chinese restaurant across the road plus other eateries within walking distance.
• Debbie (8/5): - Convenient location, clean and tidy
• Gary (6/5): - Reasonably roomy, bathroom very small as was the sink. Had a jug and microwave but only cups, no other crockery.
• Jonathan (10/5): - Nice clean room, friendly staff.
• Craig (10/5): - Great for our overnight stay before heading homeward
• Sandra (8/5): - This hotel is surprisingly good. I say 'surprisingly' because the photos make it look like you're stying next to a bottle-o in a noisy, busy part of town. But the hotel is out the back. And there's a gate that shuts at night. And the bottle-o shuts at 7. And after that, it's actually really quiet! Very clean room; lovely staff. Maybe they could take some new photos of the spacious rooms?
• Lianne (8/5): - Checkin was easy, rooms good except for smell
• Peter (8/5): - Booking in was easy. Securities weas good for this town. Room very clean and tidy
• Natasha (10/5): - Helpful kind people
• adrian (6/5): - I would not stay again. Rocking up the office was closed. No visible marking that we can check in at the Tarven. It was on the main street and was not feelig safe about the area.
• Murali (8/5): - The owner was fantastic and friendly. The accommodation is simple but clean. The surrounding area, because it is next to a bottleshop, feels unsafe.
• Patricia (8/5): - Very clean and close to the RSL for a great meal. Courtesy bus very handy. Staff very friendly.
• Anthony (8/5): - Good food and beer, spotless.
• Mark (10/5): - Considering it is Tennant Creek the motel room had a very clean bathroom and linen the whole room were clean including the bed covers , the room had a beautiful smell as soon as the door is open it even had the cleaned paper strip on the very clean toilet seat “haven’t seen this for years in any motel that we have stayed at , there were even biscuits and a mint on each towel. We will be staying there on our way back from Darwin in a couple of weeks , Very impressed ! After 4pm is a good time to check in.

• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good clean basic room with helpful staff in centre of town.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Where it was
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Tennant Creek has it issues, and businesses here face significantly more challenges than in any other part of Australia. For this place to provide a clean, safe place to stay for travellers is something of a minor miracle. I wouldn't avoid TC, because it's a wake-up call for those of us who live in our urban bubbles. Congrats to Goldfields and all the businesses in TC for their efforts.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Despite the exterior look, the room was very clean and modern.
