Contour Hotel Katherine - Katherine East, Northern Territory

The restaurant is very good. Staff is friendly. Rooms very big and new. 3 things I didn’t like at all.

You need to close the veranda door as flies fly in the restaurant. The breakfast buffet was full of flies. Bit disgusting.

You need to fix the drainage. When it’s raining the paths are flooding and you can’t walk.

You need to build paths for the back rooms. I was walking through the grass and my feet were wet.

Nice large room. Beds were comfy. Bathroom a bit small and dated. Reception staff very friendly and gave us an upgrade!
Very quiet location with beautiful grounds.
Restaurant food was 5star. Great service in the restaurant also.
Breakfast was a massive choice and ready from 6am.
Would definitely recommend and will return.

Katherine, I just got here. Serviced the new Toyota, they did it as I said I was travelling, surveyed the accomodation. Contour has an unexpected surprise, fine dining. If the equivalent of a ‘Michelin star’ is the Australian ‘Toyota train’ (you have to know) then this institution gets a star. Cool. Air conditioned restaurant after getting savaged by mozzies outside. Can’t wait to try the crocodile to start. Haven’t had crocodile yet. Eat the locals.

Room was clean and serviced daily, polite service and location was perfect and layed back. After a 12 hour drive to get to Katherine, the bed was so comfy I had the best sleep. Park outside your room.

We spent two nights at Katherine. I booked a double room but was upgraded since the motel was full (tour groups). I think that simply meant I got a triple room not a double. I appreciated the air con and fan being on when we arrived. The room was well lit with large windows on two sides; spacious with wooden floors. It was a bit impersonal but clean.||We were set back on spacious grounds from the Stuart Hwy on a side road so no truck noise. Units are spread out in rows of ten with parking directly in front of the unit. Some units at the end of rows near the fence line are overlooked by apartments on the next block. There is a pool (towels available) and tennis courts with lights at night if needed (with racquets and balls from reception). BBQs, microwave, toaster, sink and fridge are available near the camping / caravan area. Reception was open from 8 am to 8 pm so helpful staff could give advice on sightseeing when we arrived in morning before we came back to check in. They can also book tours until 6 pm. Breakfast, from 6 am to 9 am was included in our price. The bar near reception was open from 4 pm and the restaurant from 5:30 pm to 9 pm. There was a good information book in room. It had Wifi.||Our bed had four pillows and a light duvet. There were no extra blankets but they weren’t needed. There were two bedside tables, two overhead bedside lights but unfortunately the double power points near the bed had odd power points and could not be used so we used the ones near the fridge and TV. The wardrobe had hanging space, clothes hangers and luggage rack with iron and ironing board. There was a mini-fridge, kettle, tea and coffee supplies. Inside was a desk with two chairs and two chairs and table outside. ||The tiled bathroom was mobility friendly with support bars around toilet and hand rails in the curtained shower recess. The sink had some room on the side. I appreciated the hair dryer; toiletries were included (shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, shower cap, towels, tissues). The water pressure was OK but was just hot enough when only using hot tap.

Cozy rooms with great air con, a little bit dated but considering its in the outback it feels fitting.
Service is excellent all around with a surprisingly wonderful restaurant serving great meals you'd expect in a big city high end venue. Grounds & pool are also impeccably tidy & clean.
We will be returning asap.

Ate at the restaurant. Ordered two entrees and two mains one bottle of wine. $180 later. Barramundi main was severely overcooked and so dry I chocked on it. Pork was also overcooked and dry with sauce dumped over the top and spilling over two thirds of the plate. Sauce seemed straight from a bottle. Prawn entree so overpriced for maybe 8 small prawns. Scallops were burnt. The wine at least was ok. Told the staff both the mains were inedible but they didn’t care at all.

Don’t know about rooms in complex.
Banjo’s restaurant the food was very nice but the Aperol Spritz was not made right. 1 shot Aperol and he free poured the Prosecco. I’m a Spritz drinker and it’s 2/3/1 parts.
Please get it right.
