Stayed here for a night whilst visiting the local sights. Found the room very small and cramped and smelt musty. The rooms are slowly being updated we were told. The bathroom had no opening window probably due to the No restaurant on site so bring own supplies of food for breakfast! The lodge is on the main road which at... More

Eldorado is located on the northern end of Tennant Creek on the highway. Reception greeted us in a friendly way, told us the price $130, offered to show us the room and also gave us the option to stay at other motels whose rates were cheaper. Be aware this is a pet friendly establishment. We stayed in the two story... More

OK, so a night in Tennant Creek was never going to be the highlight of our trip but it was a convenient stopping off point en route from Alice Springs to Darwin and needs must. We picked the Eldorado as the best of a bad bunch and I suppose on that score it probably delivered. However, it is a thoroughly... More

On a work trip internet access and some space to work is really helpful. Room is clean, reasonably spacious and there's a pool within easy reach. Downside is interconnecting door to adjacent room is not very sound proof. Luckily my collegue goes to bed reasonably early, but if you're a light sleeper maybe ask for a standalone room? Oh, but...

Stayed here twice May 2011 - once on the way to Alice Springs, and once on the way back a few days later. Most of the rooms have been recently renovated, but it would appear that building standards in Tennant Creek are somewhat lower than elsewhere - that is to say, some things about the work were a little bit...

Tennant Creek is really just an overnight stopover on the road between Alice Springs and Katherine. The main street looks fairly run down with many empty shops. The Eldorado Motor Inn is on the main street at the north end of town. Reviews suggest it is the best of a fairly average bunch of hotels in the town. We managed... More

The town really is quite small so you're not going to find anything luxurious but the room was nice, clean and spacious. We had dinner there which was a nice too. The place is full of workers from the locality who get up early but so were we so it wasn't a problem. More

The air-conditioner was loud and clunky, the water in the shower could best be described as a trickle, the curtains didn't open. When I asked to move rooms, this could not be done. I got the sense that this hotel has it all sewn up with contracts for all the road workers and miners, so they really are not needing... More

My partner and I found ourselves in Tennant Creek at around 8 p.m. one night while driving through the NT. We really wanted to stay in town as we were tired of dodging kangaroos, but we were sketched out by the hostel and got a chilly reception at the Desert Sands Motel and a downright hostile one at the Tennant...

Stayed for one night. Had read reviews and was very nervous but pleasantly surprised. Staff friendly, lovely big room with two bunk beds, single bed and double bed. Basic standard but sufficient for our one night stay. Bathroom sink taps could have done with a better clean. Otherwise lovely to have plenty of room to spread out. More
