    Amazing dining experience with 10/10 customer service. Lovely room with comfy bed and balcony to listen to the sounds of the gorge.

    This is an amazing hotel in a stunning location. A massive thank you to the staff for all of their help. The food and location are stunning. We loved waking up to the dawn chorus and watching the lightning storm from our lodge on the last night of our stay. The staff here do everything to make your stay memorable. Thank you, to the manager for checking us in early, with no issues at all after our early flight. Also particular thanks to Jasmine for looking after us so much during our stay and arranging for us to be transported back to the airport by another staff member after heavy rains made taxis unreliable. Thanks also to Kylie for driving us to the airport. A truly 5 star experience.

    Pool was filled with bugs and staff didn't have any nets for cleaning Unfortunately restaurant doesn't do normal menus only the set menu We didn't don't want to eat the same meals daily + extremely expensive so had to drive into town each day. Wifi on property didn't reach our room (don't have reception out there) + didn't work on the last day

    Beautiful location and room was very comfortable

    Only option for dinner was a $125 set menu (which was delicious) but no other options if you didn't fancy spending that much. No view of the gorge from the balcony.

    The staff were so friendly, smiley, helpful and professional. The room was very clean, modern, comfortable, king bed. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the breakfast was also a great complimentary addition. Complimentary canapes and drinks on arrival. Refreshing cool pool. A great weekend NT staycay at the gorge.

    Staff were very helpful and engaging. The breakfast was superb. We also enjoyed the fixed price dinner, which is not cheap but very high quality. In summary, we were extremely happy with our dining experiences.

    While there is another restaurant a couple of minutes away the on site restaurant is limited. They only offer set menus for 125 each night, which is good one off but you couldn't eat there every night. The room need a bit of softness to them as they feel quite stark at the moment.

    The location is great and the room spacious with a lovely view of the bush

    The poolside lounges were not comfortable (very hard and not relaxing) also, the pool was very cold! Some small maintenance issues to be addressed (eg some decking needed revarnishing and dying pot plants could be replaced.

    Quiet restful location near the Katherine Gorge which made us feel very well looked after by the friendly and accommodating staff. We appreciated the special effort to accommodate our request for a late breakfast after our lengthy early morning hike.
