You stay in very basic cabins. Beds not very comfortable, but room of decent size. Bathroom nothing to brag about, but it got the job done. This is a place to stay along the way. It is more than adequate for the Northern Territory, but you will be disappointed if you expect too much from the rooms. I will say... More

Pleasant complex, nice pool surrounded by palm trees, attentive reception that offered to change our room after we raised a problem with the bed. Apart from the bedside light not working, the room experience was overall very good with no real complaints. You definitely felt like you were in a superior room to a roadhouse or budget motel. Only real... More

I've been travelling to Tennant Creek on and off for nearly a year now. I have spent about 20 nights at the Bluestone. Very comfy beds, very friendly and helpful staff, good food. It can be a bit slow to get meals, but if you order ahead this isn't a real problem. I have tried a couple of other motels... More

We had a table of 8. We had to go to the bar to order our drinks, $9.50 for a Crown Lager. The wine list was a joke, every wine we asked for wasn't available. There were 3 or 4 types of cheap reds in a rack, they wanted $40 for a "no-name". We ordered a large achovy pizza as... More

If you want a feed to last and linger then the Resturant at the Bluestone motel inn is for you. Over the past 12 months Ihave stayed with these excellent hosts on many occasions. As a matter of choice the company has made this our destination when visiting Tennant Creek. During my stay Ihave sampled the entire menu. Nothing is... More
