Comfortable bed, aircon working very well, also liked having the ceiling fan. Everything was clean and functioning properly. Tiled floor felt nicer than the carpets you find in some places that feel a bit worn or dirty. Quite a nice sized room, definitely not pokey. Great having the dining table & chairs & still felt spacious.

It's an older facility that is really looking tired and showing its age. Needs a good deal of maintenance and refreshing.

Great choice in town
We enjoyed our stay in this safe and clean motel. The restaurant was very good and even provided take-away meals so that we could utilise outdoor facilities. The overall service was excellent only marred by delayed check-in due to staff shortages.

Fantastic Experience
My stay was excellent. I got stranded about 149ks outside of Tennant due to two flat tyres and when I finally got back to Tennant the friendly staff helped me settle in allowed me to park my car until the tyre shop openned. The staff hospitality was above and beyond and I highly recommend to stay here when you are in Tennant Creek.

Very dated and price was not great value. Restaurant hours were till 9pm, we arrived late and went there at 8.25 pm to be told it was closed🙄. Electric BBQ was out of order, gas BBQ covered in dust and no lighter. One consolation: awesome shower!! Wouldn’t stay there again.
