More like a pub than an expensive motel. Food was good though and room was good. Just very expensive for what it is. So just know you are paying for the remoteness not the quality of the hotel.

I do not like the fact that I have emailed Wotif twice and place of accommodation once seeking a refund of additional guest fee of $74.73 because additional guest was not able to come. As yet I have had no response. This is very poor service on behalf of Wotif.

GAZ, South Australia

Liked: Cleanliness

Limited choice

Room was clean. Staff were busy but polite. Rooms small and bathrooms very cramped. Not a lot of choice in Nhulunbuy and way over priced for an obvious 3 star hotel at $330 a night. Meals expensive but again not a lot of choice do Owner’s capitalising well.
