Great location especially as taking 645am yellow river cruise. Friendly staff, great place to come back too after a day out exploring the region. Only downside was the condition of our room which was quickly rectified once raised with staff.

Overall enjoyed our stay. They had aircon going before our arrival which was lovely and the portacot we requested was all set up. Expensive for the standard of room you get but it's worth it to explore the wonderful sites nearby.

A bit over priced!
The hotel rooms are situated in a beautiful garden setting. Due to remote location, the room and restaurant prices were the most expensive where we have visited in NT. For the price we paid, the room was very basic. Small bathroom sink, leaky shower , no indoor sitting area or sitting space at all. However, the outdoor sitting was pleasant. The room is clean, not big but with comfortable beds, instant coffee and tea bags.

It was not revealed to us at time of booking. No toilet or hand basin in unit. For over $470 for one nights use with a check in time of 3pm with check out at 10am this does not equal a full day. Toilet facilities were a walk through leaf covered grounds during the night with a faulty key pad at the amenities block. Overall a very disappointing booking and stay.

Comfortable property, long wait for check in. Pool area could be maintained better and more lounge chairs provided. Longer food eatery hours, not everyonr wants burgers or pizza. Glamping tents are comfortable and the shared facilities are very clean and well laid out. Do require your own crockery and cutlery if using the cooking facilities. Nice family environment.

Very poor value for money
On arrival floor dirty with fine red dust, broken blind, fridge door shelves missing, outdoor light not working and no wifi in the cabin. Obliging staff when problems reported, but for $500 a night, it should be perfect when one arrives. The restaurant is the only place open until 4:30pm(?) when the bistro/bar opens and provides limited offerings and is expensive. Can't eat in the cabin because there are no facilities, not even a microwave and there is no table or chairs inside necessitating the bringing of the outdoor table and chairs inside, when one wanted to sit anywhere other than the bed. The daily room service did not include sweeping, vacuuming or mopping the floor (and no broom is provided). Wifi is available around the restaurant and bar, and I noticed that wifi in the cabin is available in the most expensive rooms, so it can be provided to the next level of rooms if management wishes to do so. Both pools were great and the cabins otherwise comfortable. Staff were friendly and responsive. Too many problems and limitations to justify $500 per night.

The glamping room was a great experience. Clean, modern and organised, nice pool and next to a petrol station. Keep in mind that prices in the restaurant are way too expensive though.
