Well below 3 star
We were very disappointed with this motel at Tennant Creek. We paid $230 for a room that had dirty badly worn carpet, bed linen was well below standard, TV remote held together with tape and the bathroom so dirty it was unusable.

I booked this accommodation as it was recommended by friends that had travelled through the Northern Territory. I was travelling with friends from the United States, so we had two separate rooms. They had no hot water either last night or this morning. They tried to contact reception on both occasions, not no one ever got back to them. We left before 7 in the morning. When I rang later that day I was brushed off by the person that answers and they never called me back. I expect some sort of refund for this appalling service and lack of available hot water.

We booked this property specifically for the pool. The pool was unable to be used, the aircon did not work or the wifi.
We often travel through Tennant Creek but decided to stay, unfortunately, it will be our last.
The staff were very good and seemed embarrassed from all the things that were not working properly

The price I paid was way to much for the unit. Not happy at all. I have never left a review before but this one needs one.The door would not shut tight left a big gap. Bugs came in. Red ants in bathroom. Ended up with wide scotch tape for the gap on the door. Offered to move but no guarantees it would not be the same in another unit.. I would not recommend staying here.
