In the heart of town, these serviced apartments are great for families or if you're pining for a few home comforts. Their two-bedroom apartments sleep four (six if you use the sofa bed), and come with fully equipped kitchen and lounge/dining area.
One of Katherine's best-value motels (and definitely the friendliest), this large complex (three three-storey blocks) has spotless rooms in a tropical garden.
This smart motel is as neat as a pin, and its location is handy to the main street but quiet enough. Standard motel rooms are spotless, with typically tropical tile-and-floral-bedspread decor, plus there are spa rooms and a restaurant too.
Peaceful cattle station property 12km southwest of Katherine.
The Victoria River Wayside Inn, west of the bridge, has a shop, bar and meals ($6 to $25).
As plush as it gets, this 100-room hotel gives itself three stars. Spacious rooms come with a kettle and in-house movies.
With travellers lounging around amid tents in the backyard, idly strumming on guitars and swapping outback tales, you’ll feel like you’ve walked into an old Asian overland bolthole here.
There’s accessible bush camping at Big Horse Creek, 10km west of Timber Creek.
Lots of mature trees shade this pretty park, and guests can access Katherine's thermal pools via a 500m path at the back of the property. Facilities include free BBQs, and rooms are well maintained.
A well-manicured park with plenty of shady sites, a great swimming pool adjoining a bar and bistro, and spotless amenities. It's the pick of the town's several caravan parks.
The town is dominated by the roadside Timber Creek Gunamu Tourist Park. Enormous trees shade the ‘Circle F’ camping area by a small creek where there’s croc feeding every evening.
In a bushland setting by the Katherine River, this historic homestead is a lovely place to camp. There's plenty of space, a palm-shaded pool and a bistro open for breakfast and dinner (mains $19 to $25).
This well-equipped, welcoming backpackers occupies a retired motel, clad in faux stone in an attempt to resemble some kind of castle. Scruffy international knights and maidens enjoy rooms with bathrooms, fridges and TVs.
