This motel in the centre of Katherine has small rooms but with the amenities we look for. Comfortable beds, efficient air-con, block-out blinds, desk and chair, fast wifi with secure connection, a very cool frig, kettle and a kitchen bench with microwave, plates, cups and eating utensils. It would be even better if management had been able to put a sink in this bench, instead of washing up in a bathroom sink with no plug.
Apart from no plug, the bathroom was clean, functional, with a walk-in shower and a clothes drying rail in the shower.
Breakfast, included in the tariff, is served in the coffee shop next door. So good that we returned to the coffee shop for lunch. Dinner, Australian pub food, is available in the Stuart Hotel, adjacent to the motel.
At check-in the proprietor reminded me that Friday night is Karaoke. This is advertised on the hotel web-site as very noisy, starting and ending late. He advised earplugs.
He was correct about the Karaoke noise! We slept but other guests did not. The following night all was quiet, no noise from traffic or passers-by.
If you are a light sleeper, check the web-site and avoid this motel on Karaoke nights.
