Guest Reviews

• Michael (8/5): - Our room had comfortable beds and was an easy walk into Katherine shopping centre with some good coffee shops. Unfortunately our room’s windows were fixed so could not be opened for ventilation. Staff were helpful and friendly.
• Tuyen (6/5): - Toilet was not clean, water run down from hand basin to the pipe made so much noise which to me sound like there was a collecting tray below, the bathroom door needs to be lubricated also the gate to the rooms made so much noise as our room was near it.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Holiday happiness! - Paraway Motel was well-situated. Our room was clean, spacious and had everything that we needed. The staff were friendly & helpful. We loved our stay and would recommend the motel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Room was dated, but clean and comfortable for what we required. Parking was awkward but secure. Person at check-in was not welcoming and not helpful when we requested a map or directions to assist us finding our way around town.
• Michelle (10/5): Close to town - Room was clean bathroom needed an update good size fridge but no room in freezer pool nice spa unusable secure parking
• Verified traveler (8/5): Paraway Stay - It was an ok stay. Was charged $15 extra at the accomodation for the third person. wasn't happy about it.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Receptionist was not very friendly . Accomodation was old but comfortable.
• Gregory (10/5): Nice 3 star hotel. - Owner was friendly and very help full on checkin. Not a 5 star accomodation and it doesn’t advertise as one. But it is a really good 3 star. Clean, comfortable, good internet, plenary of tea and coffee, and a good air conditioner. What else do you need? Would stay here again for sure.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Handy comfortable accommodation - Friendly reception service, smart tv in room so can log into streaming services, comfortable bed. Door mats would be helpful to catch dirt and mud coming into room. Good location
• Phillip (8/5): Comfortable stop - Clean and comfortable but many facilities advertised were not available including restaurant cable tv
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Secure parking is a must have in Katherine and they do it well.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Good security with electronic access to the property after hours. Close to the Katherine Club for dinner.
• Liz (8/5): - Centrally located. Was there on business. Would stay again. Suitable for families
• Wayne (10/5): - Great place to stay
• Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel - bad service - Good hotel and pool but really bad service. The reception tried to charge us althpugh we had already paid. They also said our room was ready and th e re was noone in it but we couldnt check in 1 hour early!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This was the nicest hotel in town. Great food and clean rooms
• Betsy (6/5): - The staff here are lovely and were happy to help us with our every need. The rooms are also quite large, which makes things more comfortable. The downside is that depending on where you are located, you may not sleep very well due to the constant noise. The stairs outside our room were super loud with people banging up and down them in the early hours if the morning, and drunk people talking loudly. We were in room 2 which was bad; if you get a choice ask for a room on the top floor away from stairs.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Was a comfortable stay - Was very happy with our 1 night stay The pool garden area is very pretty at night and no drama’s with anything.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was so much better than my alternative. Good stay.
• John (10/5): Ideal location close to town centre and Katherine - Bron runs a great motel and is wonderful to boot. We enjoyed New Years' Eve by the pool and had a grand old time. We would definitely stay here again.
• Deano (10/5): Met our needs - After a long drive the accommodation met our needs and is in walking distance for meals, refreshments and shopping the next day
• Verified traveler (8/5): Quick trip - Just a quick overnight business trip
• Colin (6/5): Convenient stopover but a little tired - A one night stop for us on a longer NT trip. Disinterested appearing chap at check-in. Fairly clean. laundry machines just spread the dirt amongst our garments. Cleaners seemed to be based in the adjacent room to us and besides making it very bust right outside our room made access to the carpark with various bags a little harder at checkout. Pool area very tired. Meal was lovely and waitress nice too.
• Stephanie (10/5): We were out for the day, returned to a clean room. - It was dreamt to have a room with tea/coffee facilities plus a TOASTER. Need to have complimentary butter, plus vegemite and marmalade jam.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - The room smelled like an opportunity shop. The bedspreads need a wash.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Pleasant setting, but staff service was slow due to understaffing
• Peter (6/5): The hotels in Katherine NT are all a bit run down - The rooms are good AC worked and we had hot water. The rooms need a up date but it is Katherine..
• Michelle (4/5): Disappointment all round - Requested twin room was given room with double Bed only, coffee cups dirty, reception not open advertised hrs, aircon could not be adjusted and room too hot
• Verified traveler (10/5): Clean comfy secure motel - Was a decent and clean motel. We were pleasantly surprised. The food at the restaurant was amazing and well priced. The room was big, clean and had everything we needed. Shower was good. Check in and check out was extremely easy. We'd stay here again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable room. Well appointed. Quiet location. - Enjoyed our stay. Only criticism is lack of parking spaces when premises fully booked.
• Al (8/5): Good location - Staff very friendly and helpful. the motel has good facilities and is well situated
• frank (8/5): - We arrived very late to check in however the staff were very accommodating and friendly.
• Della (2/5): do not get what you book for online. - No hot water in bathroom sink. One 2cm x 2cm piece of soap. No single bed, had to arrange other accommodation for that person. Bed light did not work. No spare pillows. Bed as hard as a rock. Staff rude when advised of these faults, stated we should have checked room when we arrived. We had a surprise 30th to attend and travelled from Darwin, we just had enough time to change and leave, during this time rearranging accommodation for the single person.
• Maddy (8/5): quiet and safe - off the Main Street so it's quiet, and the hotel complex is gated which helps with feeling safe and secure. a 10minute walk to the shops
• Verified traveler (4/5): Disappointing - First room had extreme smell of paint so I asked to be shifted. Second room door did not lock or shut properly and TV wasn't tuned. On checkout the receptionist kept trying to get me to pay even though I had already paid. Also not a good place for someone with a vision impairment to stay as general lighting around reception and dining area is terrible.
• Chloe (2/5): Awful Smell - The Room I stayed in had the most awful smell that it kept me up all night. The Ac was also broken and just added to the discomfort. When I did tell the staff about my issues with the room the woman just looked at me to say so what.... no sorry no nothing. I will not be staying there again
• Ace (6/5): Hotel stay in Katherine - Stayed 2 nights at the hotel, no Foxtel, only a few TV channels were working which was disappointing when you want to relax and watch movies. Could not use the USB drive in TV, no DVD player. Aircon wasn't cold enough, could hear everyone walking past the room so no sleep in. Lamp was not working and very dim lighting and this was an upgrade.
• Rebecca (10/5): Tropical oasis setting, close to all facilities - Checked in after a long day riding on the Harley! Room was spotless and well presented. Decor a little dated but the comfort and cleanliness more than made up for it. After relaxing in the beautiful tropical setting by the pool with a much needed drink, we had a meal at the on-site stone grill restaurant. There was a function also on at the same time so the staff and management went far and above to ensure we were also catered for. We felt so special with complemetary drinks and dessert offered to make up for the (tiny) delays in getting our meals out to us. One thing that we will take away is the amazing service we received from Rob and his staff, in particular Ryan and Antony who made us feel like we were welcome friends. It was interesting to see the photos from the 1998 Kathering flood and were amazed to see how the hotel fared as well as spots we could recognise from the township. A fantastic place to stay and will absolutely recommended to anyone travelling to Katherine!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Not the cleanest Could hear people in neighbouring rooms, very thin walls
• cath (6/5): Friendly staff, practical room space - The staff were friendly and although the rooms could use a good Reno they had more than enough space to walk around in and store belongings. It was a very practical. The garden by the pool was a relaxing spot to have a drink. The restaurant was nice and the Katherine Club (known by locals as the RSL) had family affordable meals and was right next door.
• V.S (8/5): Clean, comfortable hotel close to all amenities - My husband, 2 friends and I spent 2 nights at this lovely hotel. Service and food was top rate, room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended. Staff very friendly, happy to help with all your needs.
• Suzy (8/5): Clean, comfortable and a great restuarant - Really enjoyed the stone grill dining at the motel. Nice pool, great location!
• Colleen (8/5): Convenient and friendly - Third visit this year and again an overall pleasant experience. Staff unfailingly courteous, pleasant and helpful.
• Steve (8/5): Paraway - Wotif booking had been misplaced. An upgrade was provided. Stone cook meal in restaurant was superb. Service genuine even if a little understaffed.
• Verified traveler (6/5): It's OK - Lighting way too dim. Basic clean room polite staff. As expected. Nothing to write home about but nothing to really complain about either.
• Rocco (8/5): Nice hotel in Katherine. - Paraday hotel was a pleasant place to stay. The room was large enough, and the air conditioning fine. The pool is covered with an awning that makes for a pleasant swim in the hut afternoon. The restaurant has delicious fillet to cook yourself on a stone grill. The drawback is that the wifi is limited to one hour.
